Private tour of Temple of Isis

Amazing personality, very knowledgeable in everything (the best we have experienced here in Egypt), demonstrates very high passion towards this profession and the agriculture/history of Egypt. Knew every date of every stone that was placed and gave more than enough information to make our tour well worth it! 10/10! She is very funny, patient, and very smart!

A half-day journey of wonder

It was well planned. The guide came to the Koos early in the morning to pick us up and then showed us this Aswan dam on the Nile, and the Temple of Lefi. We learned a lot because the guide was very, very nice.

Amazing day in Aswan

Philae Temple is must-see if you visit Egypt. It's real masterpiece of Ancient Egypt Architecture and arts with perfect frescos, statues and columns. As per legend, this temple is built on a place of Osiris funeral.It's a huge temple, built by Ptolemeus (if I am not mistaken) with very beautifull frescos, different type of columns, and if you're enough attentive, you will find even bas-reliefes, showing ancient musitians, playing harp, guitar and etc. If you have a time, please also go to Abu-Simbel for 2 amazing temples and Nubian village to see the crocodiles. I've visited all these places in the end of December together with Dod from Emo-Tours, she's really nice girl, taking care of her guests, telling lots of information, helping people who has some health problems and etc.
