West Bank trip to valley of kings , valley of queens , Hatshepsut temple , dier el medina , colossi of menmon.
What a day , we got much more than we bargained for . Courteous driver , Egyptologist guide ( Ibrahim) . Academic information given in a time management manner . Itinerary looked impossible to achieve in agreed time but Ibrahim made it possible to see crowded places later and hence we had no queues at ticket kiosks and all time was utilised in guided site seeing . Ibrahim also recommended how much time to spend in a tomb and what to go for at the outset . I wish could have done Luxor & Karnak temples with him . Ibrahim noted what we want to see in all complex being an expert . I thoroughly recommend him and tour operator for such excursions.
Lastly , visit to Abdul Rasool’s family handicraft shop was memorable. Ibrahim was hospitable too for buying us juice ( not included in itinerary ).

An Unforgettable Experience with Ahmed & Abdelwahab – The Dream Team!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ahmed and Abdelwahab. This duo made our Luxor experience truly extraordinary, and I'm already recommending them to everyone I know.
Ahmed – The Ultimate Professional Driver
Ahmed exemplified what exceptional service looks like. His efficiency was remarkable – one quick phone call and the car appeared exactly where we needed it. He provided seamless door-to-door service, held doors open with genuine courtesy, and thoughtfully reminded us to stay hydrated throughout the day. When we realized we'd forgotten diapers at the hotel and needed to turn back, he didn't hesitate or complain for even a moment. His graciousness and professionalism turned what could have been stressful into just another smooth moment in our day. Ahmed is a true gentleman who made us feel completely taken care of.
Abdelwahab – A Master Storyteller & Scholar
Abdelwahab is, quite simply, overqualified to be a tour guide – and we reaped all the benefits of his exceptional knowledge and skill. While he certainly knows his dates, places, and historical figures like any guide, what sets him apart is his rare ability to connect with each person at their level. In our group, some had zero background knowledge about Luxor's West Bank, and he built their understanding from the ground up with patience and clarity. Meanwhile, as someone who researches extensively before traveling, I was thrilled to engage in deep, academic conversations with him that even ventured into philosophical territory. He shared insights I'd never encountered online – clearly the result of his formal egyptology education.
What truly mesmerized me was his storytelling ability. Abdelwahab didn't just recite facts; he wove intricate narratives that brought ancient Egypt to life. He explored the complexities of the human condition across millennia – the thirst for power, the insecurity of rulers fearing they'd be upstaged, a queen surrounded by luxury yet aching for motherhood due to fertility struggles. He made pharaohs and queens deeply relatable on a personal level, examining the trade-offs of their decisions: how focusing on trade created economic prosperity but left defensive vulnerabilities. I was literally on the edge of my seat, completely absorbed in every story, and each narrative came full circle by the end of our tour. I cannot adequately express the depth of emotion I felt listening to this remarkably skilled storyteller.
Practically speaking, Abdelwahab customized everything to our group's needs. Traveling with a baby, he thoughtfully adjusted his tomb recommendations and site selections accordingly. Knowing this was my second visit to Luxor, he ensured I experienced historical treasures beyond my imagination – unique sites perfectly suited to my interests and walkability. His English is excellent and his accent was easier to understand than most guides I've encountered. He created an atmosphere where no question felt too basic or unwelcome, making everyone – even the baby! – feel completely comfortable.
The Verdict:
This masculine, charming team is every traveler's dream. I couldn't recommend Ahmed and Abdelwahab more highly. They transformed our tour into an experience I'll treasure forever.

Mr.Yahyaとの不思議な最高のルクソール旅
ルクソール国際空港のタクシー乗り場で、偶然に出会ったドライバーMr.Yahya。彼のおかげで、二日間のルクソールの旅が、素晴らしいものになった。
はじめは、タクシー代の要求額が高くて、図々しい奴だと思ったけれど、だんだんとフレンドリーかつ親切で、とても良い人だと思えるようになりました。遂には、二日間ルクソール中を案内してくれて、最後は夕食も一緒に食べる仲にまで発展。ありがとうMr.Yahya!またいつか会えますように!

A tour not to be missed.
From the Valley of the Kings and Queens, the temple of Hatshepsut, the temple of Medinat Habu, the Deir el Medina and the Colossi of Memnon every location was a WOW, absolutely stunning to see. But the icing on the cake was having Abdelwahab as our guide. His knowledge of the history held no bound so if you want a detailed tour he's your man. He was enthusiastic, entertaining and patient with our somewhat naive questions. Our top tip would be to wear comfortable shoes. It's a long but interesting day. We would totally recommend the tour and Abdel as your guide.

Visite incontournable à Louxor
Il s'agit d'une visite complète qui couvre toutes les principales attractions de Louxor.
Notre visite a commencé à 6 heures comme demandé pour battre la foule. Notre guide Mohamed Awad, un égyptologue averti, est venu à l'heure et nous a aidés à naviguer à travers tout le chaos sur tous les sites. Il n'a pas seulement expliqué l'histoire, il a également aidé à l'interprétation de la hiérographie qui avait tout son sens lorsque nous avons visité les sites. Il était sympathique et serviable avec toutes les questions que nous lui avons jetées.
Je recommande vivement un guide et un chauffeur afin de maximiser votre temps limité. Viator a été très fiable lors de notre visite.

Private tour with Abdulwahab & Ashraf was amazing!
If you’re tight on time and want an immersive tour, I highly recommend booking a private tour. Our guide was Abdulwahab, he’s a university graduate in archeology and Egyptology. Extremely knowledgeable in Egyptian culture. He explained everything in simple term and easy to understand. He was so kind, patient & really took care of us. Ashraf our driver was amazing too, we never had to wait more than 2 minutes for him to arrive to pick us up. They both went above and beyond to take care of us. Very very very happy with our tour today!

Must do experience in Luxor
If you are in Luxor and want to hit all the major attractions in one day, this is a must do all day tour.
Our guide, Mohamed Awad, accompanied us all day starting from 6am to beat the crowd. He is not only a knowledgeable egyptologist, he is well organized and helped us cut all the chaos at the sites we visited and saved us a lot of time.
Definitely a must do tour when you are in Luxor and highly recommended to use a guide.

Great day on the West bank
We had a great experience on the West Bank with our guide Abdelwahab! He reached out the day before to confirm our 9am pickup the following day. He and the driver arrived a few minutes early! During the tour he explained Egyptian history in detail. For the valley of the Kings, tour guides were not allowed inside the tombs, so he explained everything outside of each so we knew had context going in. For the temples, he was able to accompany us and explain the hieroglyphs! Our favorite was Medinet Habu! Would recommend this experience!
