Like traveling with knowledgeable friends

Had a great experience with our guide and Egyptologist Aladeen and driver Mustafa. You could tell Aladeen’s knowledge runs deep, and his family history is closely tied to some incredible discoveries in Egypt. The way he shared stories made everything feel real and meaningful. Nothing felt rushed, and he tailored the pace to accommodate for my pregnant wife. Mustafa was friendly, professional, and made getting around easy and comfortable. We’d recommend both men without hesitation.

Clear 5/5

We really loved this tour. The guide was amazing — extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and very clear in his explanations. He brought the tombs to life and made the whole experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Great Tour of the West Bank

I was after a tour of the main West Bank sights without a guide and this was perfect . From the initial confirmation to the WhatsApp message the night prior from Abdallah confirming he was my my driver and would see me in the morning things went very smoothly. Adballah had good English a great car and was an excellent driver who provided some details on places we passed. Dropped off and collected at all of the entrances then back to the Hotel. Very pleased I booked this tour.

Mr. Staffer.

It was a very good tour! The staffer in charge was very kind and interesting! On the tour, he was very kind to us, reminding us not to buy things and making sure we had water. Even if I didn't speak English, they used a translator to communicate with me and entertained me! It was such a wonderful memory! Thank you!!!

Don't hesitate a second! Visit with Alaa

I have been travelling with my friend through Egypt, and Luxor in January 2026, and we really did not want to miss out on information and anecdotes about the Valley of the Kings, the Hatchepsut temple, the Valley of the Queens and the Colossi of Memnon. We had a great time with this tour guide, Alaa, who's a descendant of a very well-known family of egyptologists in Luxor (I'll let you discover those stories!). It was a very informative journey, and we agreed to a detour to one of the ancestral Alabaster factories, which hosts the craft of modern artisans - descendants of ancient Egyptian families of artisans. Alaa answered all of our questions in a very didactic way without overwhelming us with too much information. At the same time, he gave my friend and me some space to explore at our own rhythm, which was really suitable for us, as sometimes tour guides can be too overbearing. I absolutely recommend visiting with him! On the rest, the driver was also great, and we were just gently asked to offer him some tips at the end, which is not mandatory.

Great Driver

Abdallah was a great driver. He was punctual for pick-up and messaged in advance to confirm details. The car was immaculately clean.

Great half day tour with Mohamed

We had a great half day tour with Mohamed. He was a friendly, funny and good driver, practicing his English with us and telling us about his family. As agreed we covered Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, but you could ask to visit other things too. The duration was about 8.30am-2pm and this included a toilet/coffee stop at a tourist alabaster shop - there was no pressure at this stop to buy anything and incidentally the people in the shop were friendly and relaxed. I was happy to leave them a tip for using the toilet and to buy a coffee. At each site on the west bank we agreed with Mohamed how long we would spend there and exactly where he would wait for us, which was good because we did not have mobile data. He was reliable and there every time in the agreed place in the parking. Mohamed then took us to Karnak at our request where we parted ways. Normally he will take you to your hotel but again, he was flexible and would deliver us wherever we wanted. Thanks to him and the company for doing all of this for a great affordable price at short notice.
