Immediate day in Luxor
We are very happy that chance has brought us together. So we could experience an unforgettable day that we could really enjoy every second from start to finish. This day was very familiar for us and only so marked by hospitality and warmth. You introduced us to the culture and some of the sights of Egypt. Every one of our destinations on this day has really pleased and amazed us, from the tombs of the kings, the temple in Luxur, the boat trip on the Nile to lunch with your/your family. We could not have imagined a better guide . Everything was perfectly explained to us and every question answered.
Once you are in Germany we would be happy if you get in touch and we can meet for a tea together.
Best regards Mona and Daniel

Fantastic😍 ONLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
It was an unforgettable day for us🤗 We were traveling with Hussein as a couple and it was just perfect. First we were in the Valley of the Kings in the morning (it is not quite so hot at this time of day) where we received very interesting information and explanations about the practices of Egyptian burial and tombs in advance. Afterwards we were able to visit three imposing graves ourselves. Afterwards we went on a small boat trip across the Nile to the beautiful and still very well preserved Luxor Temple and have again received very accurate and interesting information about the construction and the stories behind it. After a drive back across the Nile we continued to the stonemason village where we got exactly explained by the locals how the working of the stones (e.g. alabaster stone) works (real handicraft that you can test yourself!). A very impressive and impressive sales shop (hardly visible from the outside) invites you to shop. There are really very nice souvenirs to buy that are not made of plastic or industrial (prices are negotiable and credit card payment is possible).
We continued for lunch with the family of our guide Hussein (when do you get something like this?!). We were warmly welcomed and welcomed by many children and family members. The food was just very delicious 😋 (for people who are afraid because of stomach problems ->don't worry, nothing happens). Real and fresh Egyptian food is not available in the hotel and not in the restaurant, but at the locals' home!
Our next and last stop was once again the banks of the Nile. We went a little further by boat along the Nile, where we were also allowed to steer the boat ourselves.
In summary, it was a beautiful, interesting and very family day. If you are not into mass tourism and want to experience the real Egypt we can only recommend this tour 👍🏻😊
Best regards Mona and Daniel

Luxor - Hurgadha day tripp
The trip with Ahmed was really great! Ahmed has looked after us very well from start to finish and also gave appropriate tips in advance, such as packed lunches.
We were picked up early in the morning at the hotel with a modern minibus. Once in Luxor we visited the temple in Luxor and Amed enthusiastically explained many interesting facts about the temple. After the tour we had a small refreshment together in the form of coffee and tea in a small street coffee. We then visit the Valley of the Kings where Ahmed recommended the best preserved and most beautiful tombs in advance, before the tombs there was again a lot of information and an important tip. Later in the day we visited a traditional stonemason village, had a delicious Egyptian meal with Ahmed at his family's house and got to know his family, his home and their lives.
We drove over the Niel, the heart artery of Egypt, where we were allowed to steer the boat ourselves for some time.
Then followed the drive back to Hurgadha.
The day trip was really very good! Not only very informative, but also inspiring. Ahmed could answer any question and from him spoke enthusiasm and passion.
Unfortunately, a little later we realized that we did not visit the temple of Hatshepsut... Nevertheless, it was a very nice day where you could get to know Egypt.

Wonderful day in Luxor
Wonderful day in Luxor. We had booked and received a private trip. Unlike the bus tours, our wishes were met. Ahmed showed us both his country with such enthusiasm that it is simply contagious. He gave us an insight into the real Egypt.
First we were at the temple in Luxor. Ahmed explained everything exactly and knew an answer to every question. After that we went to the other side by boat in a cafe. From there we went to the Valley of the Kings. Unfortunately Ahmed was not able to go to the graves, but he gave us all the information about the respective grave beforehand.
We then went to a traditional stonemason village. Again, it was very interesting. We were also able to buy the crafts here, but were not pushed to anything.
To strengthen, we went to Ahmed's dear family, who had already been waiting for us with typical Egyptian food. The time with his family was very nice. You come as a holidaymaker and leave as a family.
Later we drove across the Nile again and were allowed to steer the boat ourselves.
Unfortunately, we only noticed later that we were not at the temple of Hatshepsut. But we will definitely make up for this with Ahmed on the next visit to Egypt.
Ahmed is doing his job really well. A tour with him is highly recommended.
Thank you for a nice day.

City break Luxor with Ahmed
When we booked our Egypt vacation at home, we wanted to travel to Luxor to get to know a part of Egyptian culture in addition to the hotel complex, pool and beach. Through certain recommendations and positive recessions on Trip Advisor, we decided to take a private tour with Ahmed. Initially, I was personally still very skeptical about whether a private tour makes sense in a foreign country. After a short time, however, all my thoughts were positively influenced. When we arrived in Luxor, we met Ahmed and we first went to the Luxor Temple, where he introduced us to Egyptian culture with his sympathetic manner. Afterwards he invited us to a small cafe for a short break. Thanks for the delicious coffee! The second interesting sight was the Valley of the Kings, where we were allowed to visit three tombs. Furthermore, we drove to a small stonemason village. There we examine the handiwork of some Egyptians, how they produce numerous sculptures. Thank you also for this viewing, respect for the work.
Our biggest highlight for was the lunch together with Ahmed's family. Thanks to your wife for the super delicious preparation. We enjoyed being there. To top it off, we then took a small boat along the Nile and were able to relax a bit.
Thank you for this great tour! We came as guests and left as friends.

Luxor with Ahmed
We booked a day trip from Makadi Beach to Luxor with Ahmed in April 2023.
Everything went as perfectly as he described. A friendly driver has picked up at the hotel ,with a clean Toyots bus, on time. He was available to us all day with the vehicle. I don’t need to underline that the sights of Luxor are unique and great here, but we especially liked that Ahmed showed us real lives of Egypt. The delicious food and hospitality of his wife was special.
The stonemasons, after the Queen's Valley, I recommend saving.
Ahmed as a person is very pleasant with his likeable and open nature. He could answer all questions about culture and history with his knowledge.
We would always confide in Ahmed again.

Empfehlenswerter Ausflug mit Einblicken in Historie und dem heutigen ägyptischen Leben.
Wir haben einen tollen Ausflug gehabt. Wir wurden pünktlich von 2 sehr netten Fahrern abgeholt, mit denen man sich auf Deutsch und Englisch unterhalten konnte. Die Fahrt an sich empfand ich schon als sehr interessant, da man verschiedenen Landschaften gesehen hat.
In Luxor angekommen hat uns unser Reiseführer Ahmed alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und uns in sehr guter deutscher Sprache alles erklärt und unsere Fragen beantwortet.
Die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren super interessant. Die Größe und Schönheit des Karnak-Tempels war imposant. Das Tal der Könige war für mich überraschend, da ich nicht erwartet habe, wie gut erhalten die besuchten Gräber waren. Man darf 3 der 9 Gräber besuchen und wir haben bei der Auswahl der Gräber auf Ahmed vertraut, was wir nicht bereut haben. Eine kleine Nilkreuzfahrt war auch inklusive, bei der wir sogar auch einmal ans Steuer des kleinen Bootes durften.
Es hat uns auch gefallen, das wir bei Ahmed zuhause seine sehr nette Familie mit Frau, Mutter und guterzogenen Kindern kennenlernen durften. Wir durften dort das leckere Mittagessen seiner Frau genießen und haben danach noch eine kleine Führung durch das Haus erhalten. So durften wir einen kleinen Einblick in das typische ägyptisches Leben gewinnen.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Tag! Ich kann diese Tour nur jedem empfehlen, der ganz privat (ohne andere Touristen) einen tollen Tag erleben möchte.

Wonderfull day at Luxor
We had a wonderful special day in Luxor with Ahmed. All in all this trip has been a day my family and me will never forget.
As it was our first time in Egypt I was very excited about visiting Luxor. Seeing all these spectacular sights was great. Luxor temple and the Valley of the Kings were unbelievable.
We were guided around by Ahmed, who was the most friendly and knowledgeable guide. We also got introduced to his family and had a delicious homemade dinner with them. My son loved it so much, could not stop.
The day is long and packed but worth it. Starting from Makadi the journey is very long, but the transport was comfortable with a nice air conditioned car. Both drivers were very friendly and looked after us well.
If you are looking for a special tour, just for you and your family/friends, pick this. You have your own guide plus car and boat, the whole day, just for you.
Thank you Ahmed for an amazing, perfectly organized day!!

Top quality with great warmth
It was clear to me: A trip to Luxor is also part of your holiday in Hurghada. My claim: not just a tick-off of a "pendency" and some beautiful photos, but an individual experience. Ahmed and his team offered even more: His warm hospitality and individual accompaniment, his care and the sense of what was valuable to us, shows his great experience and his warmth.
The program was perfectly structured and with his valuable historical information as an Egyptologist coupled with his personal experiences, being together provided a wonderful experience. Ahmed has given us a day trip from A-Z, as they offer it for his best friends. Top quality with great warmth - thank you very much!
