An Amazing Guide! 🇪🇬✨
We had the pleasure of having Mohammed Abdo, also known as “Magic Mohamed,”as our guide in Luxor and Aswan, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. As a native of Luxor, he knows the history and temples inside out, and his explanations were detailed, fascinating, and easy to follow. He answered every single question we had and always made sure we understood everything.
Waking up at 4:30 a.m. wasn’t easy 😂, but with his enthusiasm and explanations, it was definitely worth it!
Without a doubt, the best guide we could have had. We hope to come back to Egypt very soon, and when we do, we will definitely choose this company again and ask for Magic Mohamed! ❤️🇪🇬
Thank you for everything, Mohamed! You truly made our trip unforgettable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cruise in August from Assuan to Luxor
The cruise experience in August was very interesting, but with a lot of heat (low season). The trade-off is that there are no long waiting lines or crowds of visitors. The guide Mohammed Abu was efficient, helpful, and friendly. It is perceived that you know what you are talking about. It dealt with all the tickets and entries, transportation, carriage, electric cart in Vale dos Reis, etc., etc., etc. Everything was ready to enjoy. The visiting hours were very early in the morning (!!!) but I think that is due to the excessive heat in August. Waking up early means visiting in the cool (below 35° C).

Enjoyed a lot
It was a great choice to visit the upper Nile valley temples. The price is fair for the service and the program balances well the visits to the monuments and the time to relax on board. All crowd was welcoming and helpful. I do recommend the experience

Cruise on the Nile in August
The cruise experience in August was very interesting, but with much heat (low season). The counterpart is that there are no long queues or crowds of visitors. The guide Mohammed Abu was efficient, helpful and friendly. You realize you know what you're talking about. It handled all the tickets and entries, travel, charrete, electric cart in the Valley of the Kings, etc etc etc etc. Everything was ready to enjoy. The hours of visit was very early (!!!) but I think this is due to the excess heat in August. Wake up early means visiting the fresh (below 35°C).

An Unforgettable Journey Through Egypt — Made Truly Special by Hady
Some trips leave you with photographs and memories. Others leave you with a curiosity that stays with you long after you return home. My journey through Egypt was exactly that — and a huge part of this experience was thanks to Hady.
From our very first contact, I immediately noticed how passionate Hady is about what he does. He never simply showed us the temples and gave us historical facts. He made us stop, observe, question and imagine what life must have been like thousands of years ago.
The way he tells stories, gives examples and brings history to life made us fall in love with Egypt, its ancient mythology and its incredible civilization.
As someone who has always been passionate about History, I was genuinely amazed by how much I learned during these four days. Hady is an archaeologist with a Master’s degree in Egyptology and hieroglyphs, and his knowledge is truly exceptional. You can immediately feel that this is not simply a profession for him, it’s a genuine passion and a major part of his life.
We learned about pharaohs, royal successions, gods, religion, mythology, hieroglyphs, archaeology, ancient Egyptian culture and archaeological discoveries. What impressed me most was his ability to explain extremely complex subjects in a simple, clear and fascinating way.
He also had an incredible talent for making us imagine not only what we were seeing, but what happened before us. He made us think about how people lived, what they believed in, how they understood their gods and their world, and even how the first archaeologists searched for temples and tombs and tried to uncover the secrets of this extraordinary civilization.
After listening to Hady, the temples were no longer simply ancient monuments. Every wall, statue, representation and obelisk seemed to have a story behind it.
We visited incredible places including Abu Simbel, Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temple. The size and scale of these monuments were breathtaking, but Hady’s explanations allowed us to truly understand what we were seeing and appreciate their historical and cultural significance.
One thing I particularly appreciated was the way he always valued our questions. He was happy to explain things again, add curiosities and make sure everyone understood, even when someone found it more difficult to communicate in English.
His relationship with the whole group was exceptional. He connected equally well with adults and children, keeping everyone’s attention and making the experience engaging from beginning to end. It never felt like we were simply listening to a guide, we were part of the story.
But beyond his extraordinary knowledge, Hady is an exceptional person.
Throughout the four days, with temperatures above 40°C, he was constantly attentive to our comfort and wellbeing. He always checked that we were doing well and looked for solutions whenever we needed anything. His care and attention were genuine and never felt forced.
He also helped us understand Egyptian culture, customs and everyday life, giving us useful advice that made us feel more comfortable and better prepared throughout the trip.
The organization was excellent as well. The schedule, transfers, transportation and visits were very well planned, and everything ran smoothly from Aswan to Luxor and afterwards on our journey to Hurghada.
The Nile cruise itself was a dream come true. I had wanted to experience travelling and sleeping on a boat on the Nile for a long time, and it was an unforgettable experience. The crew were incredibly kind, the food was a wonderful introduction to Egyptian cuisine, and the atmosphere on board was something I will always remember.
There were also some interesting workshops and visits to local shops, but for me, the true highlight was discovering the temples and ancient history through Hady’s eyes.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that the experience did not end when I left Egypt.
Since returning home, I have found myself researching Egyptian history, reading more and wanting to learn even more. Hady didn’t simply give us answers — he created a curiosity that continues to this day. I think that is one of the greatest qualities a guide can have.
I arrived in Egypt without a fixed idea of what to expect. I simply wanted to be surprised. And I certainly was.
Today, when I think about this journey, I don’t only remember the incredible monuments. I remember the stories, the Nile, the feeling of standing in front of thousands of years of history — and, of course, Hady.
There is a huge difference between visiting a place and truly understanding it. Hady made us understand Egypt!
His archaeological background, his knowledge of hieroglyphs, his passion for history and his unique way of telling stories make him an exceptional guide. But it is his kindness, humour, patience, genuine care and love for his country that truly set him apart.
Hady, thank you so much for your attention, your kindness and the care you showed us throughout these days. Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge, but also your passion for Egypt. These were very special days, and I will carry these memories with me for a very long time.
This was not simply a trip to discover Ancient Egypt. It was a journey that made me want to discover it even more.
I absolutely want to return to Egypt, and when I do, I sincerely hope I can have Hady as my guide again.
I’m already recommending him to my friends, without hesitation.
If you are planning to discover Egypt, especially its ancient history and temples, having Hady as your guide can make all the difference.
For me he made all the difference,
Thank you so much Hady!

The guide that made our trip through the Nile unforgettable
A very special word for our guide, Hady, who accompanied us on this wonderful trip through the Nile.
It was much more than a guide: it was someone who managed to make every place, every temple and every story even more fascinating.
He is an extremely educated person, with a knowledge truly above average, who dominates the history and culture of Egypt and, above all, knows how to convey this knowledge in a passionate and engaging way.
His professionalism, sympathy, care and attention to us made all the difference during the trip. We felt that we were accompanied by someone who really loves what he does and who has an enormous pride in sharing the history of his country.
Thank you, Hady, for making us know Egypt in such a special way. I carry with me not only incredible memories of this trip through the Nile, but also a huge desire to return.

An unforgettable experience in Egypt
Review — An unforgettable experience in Egypt
We were welcomed by our tour guide, Hady, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. He is undoubtedly a true ex-libris of knowledge about Egypt: an extremely educated, cultured and passionate person for the history of his country.
In all the temples we visited, Hady explained the fascinating history of Ancient Egypt with great detail and clarity, making every monument and place even more special. His deep knowledge, his sympathy and the passionate way history passed on to us made all the difference.
But Hady was much more than an excellent tour guide. He treated us from the very beginning as if we were part of his own family, always caring, concerned about our well-being and ready to help in whatever was necessary. This genuine and warm way of receiving us made the experience even more special and made us feel truly at home.
The Nile cruise was just as wonderful, taking us to incredible places full of history. These were days of discovery, but also of pure relaxation, accompanied by good food, stunning landscapes and unique moments, while the majestic Nile River presented us with unforgettable scenery.
It was a truly enriching experience, which allowed us to know Egypt through its history, culture and landscapes, but also to enjoy moments of tranquility and pleasure.
A huge thanks to Hady for all his professionalism, knowledge, affection and dedication. We carry with us not only amazing memories of Egypt, but also the feeling of having known a special person. We highly recommend this experience!

An Unforgettable Experience, Made Special by Hady
We had a fantastic experience in Egypt, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Hady.
The excursion was very well organized and everything went smoothly from beginning to end, but Hady truly made the difference. His knowledge and understanding of Egyptian history and culture are simply incredible. He explained everything in great detail and always took his time, bringing the temples to life through his stories and explanations. It wasn’t just about visiting a monument and hearing a few facts thanks to him, we were able to truly understand the history, culture, and meaning behind everything we were seeing.
His English is perfect and, above all, he has an amazing way of explaining things. Whenever we had questions, he was always happy to explain things again and made sure everyone understood.
But beyond being an excellent guide, what impressed us most was the person he is. He treated my family incredibly well, always showing so much kindness, care, and genuine warmth. He is one of those people you quickly realize is genuinely good and truly passionate about what he does. Without a doubt, he made our experience much more special.
The boat was also excellent. The crew was fantastic, the food was very good, and the entertainment throughout the cruise was great. Everything came together to make the experience even better.
If there is one person who truly made a difference during this trip, it was definitely Hady. We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide and would recommend him without hesitation. This is an experience we will remember and cherish for a long time. 🇪🇬❤️
