If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, I cannot recommend Ahmed highly enough. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail of the tour was perfect. His deep knowledge of the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area brought every location to life in a way that you simply wouldn’t get on your own.

The tour guide, Ahmed Abdulteif was very respectful, knowledgeable, and explained everything in an engaging way, while also giving me the time and space to enjoy the temples and take photos without feeling rushed. The driver, Safwan, was also excellent, driving safely and making the whole trip smooth and comfortable. Overall, a very professional and enjoyable experience.

Pros: beautiful landmarks, great photos Cons: tourist traps (the worst we’ve ever experienced) and a pushy guide and driver that were constantly trying to upsell.

We were picked up neatly on time by Ahmed and Abdo and got 2 cold waters. Along the way, we got many interesting facts about ancient Egyptian history. Visiting the tombs Ramses IV, Merenptah but also hot chicken soup;) were very special. Thanks for the nice day!

What a fantastic half-day! The Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Memnon were all awe-inspiring, but it was our guide Ammar and driver Mahmoud who made the day truly unforgettable. Ammar’s knowledge and passion for Egyptian history is second to none, and Mahmoud was a reliable, friendly presence throughout. Could not recommend these two more — an absolute highlight of our Egypt trip!

Amazing half-day tour with Ahmed and our driver Safwan in Luxor. The mood was always friendly and light, never boring. Ahmed is the kind of guide you hope to find. He explained the history of Luxor in a clear and engaging way, and you could really feel his passion for his country. We visited the Valley of the Kings, and his suggestions on which tombs to see were spot on. They turned out to be truly beautiful, and thanks to his detailed explanations we could appreciate them much more. He also took us to a local alabaster workshop, where we saw how alabaster is handcrafted, which was a nice extra touch. Safwan was an excellent driver. We always felt safe, and he made sure the car was cool and comfortable after every stop during the hot day.

Ahmed is a super cool guide! We booked the tour to the West Bank, he arrived 10 minutes beforehand and drove us together with Safwan in such a nice, air-conditioned car to the Valley of the Kings. He helped us decide which tombs to choose and explained all the details, that made the visit really enjoyable. After that he took us to a local shop for hand-made, high-quality alabaster products where we bought our souvenirs for a very good price without feeling pushed to buy or scammed. The trip continued to Hot-Chicken-Soup 🤣 J (Hatshepshut) Temple where honestly without a guide is just a buch of columns but with Ahmed we really traveled back to the Ancient Egypt. Last but not least, the Memnon site and from there back to our hotel. I fully recommend.

We had a great day with Ammar- he paced the trip really well as we had our 2 young children with us who struggled a bit with the heat.
