Hossam drove us from Luxor to Hurghada, taking in Dendera Temple along the way, with exceptional care and warmth. He's a gem of a person, paying attention to the smallest details that even luxury cab services in London often overlook. Along the way, he enthusiastically shared insights about every point of interest, showing genuine passion for his country. It was hard to say goodbye, and I sincerely wish him all the best in life.
Amazing!

We absolutely loved our time on the East Bank, touring Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. We learned SO much about the palaces themselves, about the mix of cultures inside these special centers, and about the architecture and ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians who built them.. our Egyptologist guide knows so much and really enriched the experience. There was so much to see and do, we could have spent much more time. But the half day tour was perfect for our four kids and just enough for my husband and me. Highly recommend!

Had a great time touring with our Egyptologist guide, Mo. He took time to answer all our questions and didn’t make us feel rushed going through the sites while still keeping things moving along and entertaining for our young kids.
Learnt so much!

Had a lovely tour with Mo, our very knowledgeable guide. He took us all over Luxor and told us so many facts and showed us all the sights. Our driver, Mahmoud, navigated the busy streets like a pro! I learned so much on this trip! Would highly recommend.

Experience was amazing. All day tours , none stop action. My feet are sore from walking but loved the whole adventure . The guild was helpful, knowledgeable, professional and spoke good English. We did have to pay for all our entries and shuttles but came with a free dinner. The dinner was tasty and a nice portion. I’d recommend this tour to anyone who asked for advise.
Good day
