Ibrahim good stew

Ibrahim was super friendly and punctual. Took us to all the places indicated on the reservation. We had no wait and saw absolutely everything. The driver drove super well. Finally he took us to a place where they carved stone by hand and it was just the family of the boy who found the tomb of tutankamon, it was a very nice experience, we even took gifts from him

A kind and reliable guide.

I was on a tour with my children, but they were very kind to me. They also gave us breaks as the kids paced, so we could travel around the West Bank comfortably. The explanation about ancient Egypt was also easy to understand and I was glad to ask.

More Than a Tour: A Memorable Journey Through Luxor with Ahmed

We had an absolutely incredible experience touring Luxor with Ahmed. From Karnak Temple to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and Luxor Temple, every site was brought to life through his passion and deep knowledge of Egypt’s history. Ahmed was flexible, patient, and highly professional, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. He truly went above and beyond by helping us celebrate my fiancé’s birthday in such a thoughtful and special way, which made our trip even more memorable. We are so grateful for his warmth, expertise, and dedication, and highly recommend Ahmed to anyone visiting Luxor.

Ahmed is the best!

Ahmed is simply outstanding. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the best hands. My fiancée arranged for Ahmed to guide us around Luxor, and he exceeded every expectation. His depth of knowledge about Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple is remarkable. He brought ancient history to life with fascinating stories and insight. Every detail was perfect, and we learned so much while thoroughly enjoying ourselves. In addition to being a fantastic guide, Ahmed also doubled as our photographer. He took such beautiful pictures of us that truly captured the essence of our trip. We were absolutely blown away by some of the photos he took. They are memories we’ll cherish forever. Ahmed’s commitment to making our experience special was incredible. He helped my fiancée plan a magical private dinner cruise on the Nile, topped off with a surprise birthday cake just for me. Thanks to Ahmed, my birthday was not just memorable, it was truly extraordinary. Have I said it enough? Hire Ahmed! If you are planning a trip to Luxor, hiring Ahmed is a must. He is professional, passionate, and truly cares about making every moment unforgettable. I give him my highest recommendation. You won’t regret choosing Ahmed!

First Luxor

Our guide Mohamed awad was very smart and kind. They were patient even for my family, who understood English and didn't speak much English. It was a memorable trip to Luxor. Thank you for a meaningful half day.

We had a really great tour guided by Khaled in Luxor. He knows everything about the ancient and most recent history of Egipt and he had a really nice treatment to us, speaking spanish so fluent. We hardly recomend this tour, speacially with him!!

Great tour with Abdel. ...

Great tour with Abdel. Abdel is very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our group’s needs/desires. When we expressed surprise at the lines to get into some of the more popular tombs, he showed us tombs that were very impressive, but not as crowded . He even stopped at a mini-market to purchase water for our group. Would definitely recommend!

Great experience with Mena

Mena has a comprehensive knowledge of Egyptian history which he shared with us on the way to the Valley of the Kings and Temple of Hatshepsut. He took great care to make sure we had an enjoyable experience without rushing at any point. It is clear that he truly loves what he does and that care was visible in every part of the day. We are very thankful for his guidance. Would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an informative and memorable tour.
