A great intro to the city!

Wealth of information. Learned a ton about Karnak and Luxor from my guide, Mena. Our driver, Tamer, was also incredibly flexible and patient - top tier driving and spacious, clean vehicle.

Luxor East Bank

"I shared a truly remarkable experience with my son, discovering the treasures of Luxor’s East Bank. The organization was impeccable: our driver, Tamir, greeted us with perfect punctuality in a modern, comfortable vehicle, navigating the traffic with seamless and safe driving. However, the heart of the tour was our guide, Emad. Thanks to his excellent English and deep historical knowledge, he provided far more than just technical explanations—he made us truly breathe the atmosphere of Ancient Egypt. Walking through the Karnak and Luxor temples, we could almost sense the shadows of the Pharaohs and their priests. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a blend of professionalism and passion.

Emad our tour guide you are the best

A family friend f 6 adults . We arrived in Luxor airport @8.30am and Emad our tour guide was waiting for us with a big smile. We jumped in the beautiful a/c van and our adventure started. Emad is a great guide happy, knowledgeable, energetic, super friendly. Our tour to Luxor was better than we expected. We booked the private tour everything included . We definitely recommend Emad as he is great. After the tour we were dropped to our hotel. He recommended other places to explore in Luxor and yes we did follow his advice. Thank youuuu Emad for kindly doing our tour in the morning. We didn’t worried about the crowds as a tour is more enjoyable with people around. Emad took his time in explaining the places to us. He gave us reasonable time to explore it ourselves. Best wishes from Ximena and family from Sydney 🇦🇺

Great experience at great temples

We went to Karnak Temple and Luxor temple with our guide Bahaa and driver Ramez and as the last two half days on the west bank it was amazing. Having somebody who knew where to look in the temple for the most interesting illustrations on the walls and who knew where to go for tickets to avoid the queue was really great.

Journey Through Karnak: Guided by Ereen, Driven by Tamer

An unforgettable journey through Karnak with Ereen & Tamer Visiting the Karnak Temple in Luxor was truly the highlight of our trip to Egypt. The sheer scale and grandeur of the temple complex left us in awe—from the towering hypostyle hall with its massive columns to the sacred lake and intricate hieroglyphs that tell stories thousands of years old. What made the experience even more special was our guide, Ereen. Her knowledge of Egyptian history and mythology was exceptional, and she brought the temple to life with fascinating stories and insights. Ereen had a wonderful way of explaining complex details in a clear and engaging manner, making the history feel vivid and accessible. She also knew the best spots for photos and helped us appreciate details we might have overlooked on our own. We also want to give a special mention to our driver, Tamer. Navigating Luxor can be hectic, but Tamer made the journey smooth, safe, and comfortable. His professionalism and warm hospitality added to the overall experience, ensuring we could relax and enjoy every moment of our day. ✨ Highlights of our visit: • Walking through the Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal columns. • Learning about the temple’s evolution over centuries from Ereen’s expert storytelling. • The seamless travel experience thanks to Tamer’s excellent driving. Overall, our visit to Karnak Temple was not just a sightseeing trip—it was a deeply enriching journey into Egypt’s ancient past. With Ereen and Tamer guiding us, it became an unforgettable memory we’ll cherish forever

Great tour for essential Egyptian history!

We had such a great time with Mansuor learning all about the Karnak and Luxor Temples! The afternoon tour was great to see Karnak during sunset and Luxor lit up so beautifully. Mansuor was an expert at engaging who made learning fun and easy. We gained a ton of knowledge that carried through our other tours throughout Egypt. He was a huge highlight for our entire trip and we are grateful we had the chance to learn from him! I thought Luxor Egypt Tours was the best of them all. We had multiple horrible Emo Tours in Cairo and Aswan, so I'm glad we booked with this great group for our entire time in Luxor!

It was a very good travel agency.

I learned the day before that my flight would be delayed for an hour and a half due to airline reasons. They agreed to delay the start of the tour and were very conscientious in their handling of the situation. It was an English-speaking guide, but I am satisfied with the very good guide, who is easy to understand, well versed in history and warm. It was amazing to see the city, beautiful scenery and Aurora in my own eyes.
