We had a great private tour of Luxor’s West Bank today. Our driver, Abdo, was excellent — punctual, friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the day. The car was clean and comfortable, and Abdo made the whole trip very easy and relaxed. We visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and other sites on the West Bank, and we never felt rushed. He was always ready to pick us up when we finished each visit, which was especially appreciated in the Luxor heat! Everything was well organized from pickup at our hotel to the end of the tour. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend Abdo to anyone visiting Luxor. Thank you!

We loved our tour with Abdelwahab! His knowledge is extraordinary, and he was so friendly - not only to us, but to everyone around us as well. He did not rush us once and took the tour at a relaxed pace so that we could see, experience, and photograph whatever we wanted. He also took us to a bonus place - the alabaster workshop, which we really enjoyed. Thank you very much Abdelwahab. Very highly recommended!

Ammar was an excellent guide. He moved completely at my pace, which I really appreciated in the heat, and even made sure I had chilled drinks along the way. He explained everything clearly and thoughtfully, but also tailored the experience around the things I was most interested in rather than just following a standard script. Knowledgeable, attentive, and very easy to spend the day with. Highly recommend him.

Had the most wonderful time visiting all the sites, 100% worth doing it with a guide so you can experience all there is. Salma Khairt is so knowledgeable with a phd in Egyptology and is incredibly lovely

We had an absolutely fantastic tour of the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Valley of the Queens, Medinet Habu and the Tombs of the Artisans with Abdel as our guide. Our vehicle was initially a little small for our group, but Abdel immediately made the effort to arrange a larger vehicle for us, which we really appreciated. From there, he continued to go above and beyond throughout the entire day. Abdel was incredibly kind, polite and energetic, with a wonderful manner that made the whole experience so enjoyable. His English was excellent, and his knowledge was truly impressive. Every question we asked, no matter how detailed, was answered thoroughly and with genuine enthusiasm. He could even read the hieroglyphics for us, which brought so much more meaning to what we were seeing. What stood out most was how warmly Abdel was greeted everywhere we went. The people working at the sites and other guides clearly knew him and would smile and greet him warmly, and we were repeatedly told that we had one of the best guides. After spending the day with him, we completely understood why! Abdel made history feel alive rather than simply giving us facts. He was engaging, patient, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. His energy and personality added so much to the experience. Abdel most certainly lived up to his reputation as “the best guide.” We are incredibly grateful to have had him show us this incredible part of Luxor and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting.

The tour was outstanding with Abdelwahab. He made us feel at ease from the get go and at the end of the tour he basically became family. There was true genuine care about him making the tour all about the guest. His knowledge about Egyptian history was top notch. He laughed at our jokes and we laughed at his. We asked hard, sometimes silly questions and he answered them them all. Overall, the conversations were pleasant and him allowing us to take breaks when we needed to, made this tour unforgettable. We highly recommend his services. Thanks Abdelwahab!!!
