Flawless Private Tour - The Ultimate Way to See Luxor!
Our half-day tour started right at 5:30 AM when Ammar (our guide) and our driver picked us up at our hotel to head to the West Bank. Thanks to the early start, we were the very first people to enter the Valley of the Kings right at 6:00 AM—which was the absolute best way to beat the intense June heat and the crowds.
We hit the absolute crowning heavyweights of the West Bank: the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon.
Ammar seemed to know every local we encountered along the way, and everyone greeted us with warm smiles. He was fantastic at explaining thousands of years of history without overwhelming us with information. He also did a masterful job of balancing structured time explaining the history with plenty of "free time" for my wife and me to explore the sites on our own terms at each of the sites
He was always prompt; available, and prepared. He also graciously took many requested photos of us.
In fact, we enjoyed our morning tour so much that we asked Ammar to guide us through Karnak Temple as well. If you are visiting Luxor, I highly recommend booking this private tour!

素晴らしい運転手さん！
Mahmoud さんはとても親切で、素晴らしいガイドと運転をしてくれました。
王家の谷で私たちが間違えて1つの墓のみを見て戻ってきてしまった時は、もう一度見に行った方がいいとわざわざまた引き返して戻ってくれました。
お昼ご飯もおすすめのお店に連れて行ってくれて、本当に美味しかったです！
最高の運転手さんです！
ありがとう！

Our guide was Ahmed Abdultief and the driver was Abdo. They were on time, the tour was well organized and ran smoothly with lots of information about the sites that we visited. I will recommend this tour.

Visite unique et inoubliable
Belle matinée avec notre guide Abdelwahab et notre chauffeur Mo.
Notre guide était très professionnel et attentif. Passionné d' Egyptologie, il aime partager ses connaissances. Il s'est bien adapté à notre niveau d' anglais, n'hésitant jamais à repeter ou expliquer.
Notre chauffeur était d'une conduite exemplaire.
Merci encore à tous les 2.

Fantastic Tour Guide
Our private tour with Abdel was great! He has extensive historical and cultural knowledge, offering good information and taking time to answer all of our questions. He was very personable and welcoming. The length of the tour was just right - not rushed. My husband and I highly recommend Abdel as a guide!

Half day - Luxor west bank
Ahmed, our tour guide, and Alaa, our driver, picked us up from our hotel. They were very punctual and provided some water before we kicked off.
The first stop was the Valley of the Kings. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about the area and the various tombs that we visited. We visited the tombs for Rameses IV, Merenptah, Rameses III, Tutankhamun and Rameses V and VI. Ahmed was very helpful when I lost one of my tickets too. The tombs were amazing and the highlight of our Egyptian tour.
Next, we stopped by a souvenir store, which has much nicer items than the street sellers. Their prices are much higher than they are willing to take, so be prepared to haggle.
The temple for Queen Hatshepsut was next on the agenda. Ahmed able to explain some of the pictures depicted on the walls and it provided great context to what we saw. The temple itself did at the bottom of cliffs, and the feeling it gives you is very different from the photos.
The final stop was the Colossi of Memnon. This was really an opportunity for photos, there isn't much left of the ruins besides a few statues.
Overall, the half day tour was well worth it. Ahmed provided great commentary and really liked after us. The only dampener was the heat, I would recommend going as early as possible to avoid the heat as much as you can.
Thank you Ahmed and Alaa

Goede keuze als je veel en diepgaande informatie zoekt
Onze gids was heel vriendelijk en had veel kennis. Hierdoor vertelde hij ontzettend veel en was het verhaal niet goed te volgen. Wij hadden liever de kern en highlights gehoord. Wij lieten dat ook merken, maar dat werd niet opgepakt.
Mocht je geïnteresseerd zijn in de volledige geschiedenis van de farao’s en hoe de families in elkaar zitten dan is deze tour een goede keuze. Zoek je meer de rode draad en interessante weetjes, kies dan voor iemand anders.
