What To Expect

Luxor

Our representative will pick you up from your hotel and escort you to the Nile in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for your private 2-hour felucca experience. Once on board your traditional sailing boat, settle onto the soft cushions and enjoy a refreshing drink as you begin your gentle cruise along the river. As the felucca glides through the calm waters, take in scenes that have remained unchanged for millennia. Watch children playing at the river’s edge, see farmers tending their fields in timeless ways, and spot camels, water buffalo, and a variety of birds along the banks. The peaceful, natural beauty of the Nile offers an authentic glimpse into daily life in Upper Egypt. Your experience ends with one of Luxor’s most iconic sights: the sun slowly setting behind the West Bank hills, bathing the river in warm golden light. After the cruise, you will be transferred back to your hotel in comfort.

Ali was amazing. We did a half day tour covering 4 sites and he was so good at explaining the history of each of the locations and answered all of our questions. Tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to do and even managed to manoeuvre the tour around the crowds at certain points. Also offered to get tickets in advance to skip queues on the day. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic West Bank tour with a brilliant guide!

We had a wonderful day exploring the West Bank tombs and templed in Luxor with our guide, Ali. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, bringing each site to life with fascinating stories and insights. Ali was also kind, patient, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. It was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend! 🤩
Experienced and friendly guide!

He spoke slowly with clear English pronunciation. I was also intrigued by the way the explanations were phrased. No matter what I asked, I was impressed with the answer. I asked the driver after the tour, and he said he was a guide with a master's degree. I see, I was convinced that he was a man of solid knowledge and a proper manner of speaking. The glue was good and it was fun. However, I stopped by a souvenir shop without notice, so it became somewhat ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I think there is.

I had an amazing experience with Mr. Ali. He was my tour guide for 4 days from Aswan to Luxor. I must say Mr. Ali is such a professional guy in regards to managing everything from tickets, co ordination with drivers, and all things are well planned before hand and communicated. He takes all efforts in explaining all the magnificent stories regarding all the sites which is the best part. I was a solo traveller but nowhere he rushed or hurried giving the same attention as he would give to a big group. He was so caring for my well being all time, so if you are traveling solo he is the guy you should consider. He was always helping in any way possible. In all it was such an amazing experience for me in these 4 days. I would like to thank Mr. Ali for all of it. Thanks a ton. I wish you very good luck and all the very best in life. Hope to meet you soon on a new exciting journey in Egypt. Thank you...!!
Amazing tour

Ali our guide was amazing, he had a lot of information and was very organised. The whole day was very interesting and I learnt a lot. The best location was the Valley of the Queens we were there all alone and could see the beautiful tombs in peace.
A Full Incredible day!

Ali hands down made our trip to Luxor such a memorable one. We were a group of 12 friends arguing over which tour guide to choose and inevitably we split into four groups of three. After we all reconvened at the end of our respective tours, our experience with Ali was deemed the most favorable by everyone. Now I won’t name those other groups my friends went with, but I will say this: overall, Ali chose to stand in the shade. He went out of his way to get us water and even ice cream. He didn’t try to cram everything into an information overload school session during the low season (re: temperatures rising about 42C/101F). Yes, we learned as much as our friends, but we also didn’t come back with an exhaustion that made us skip dinner like them. That alone is why you need to choose Ali for your next trip
Excellent Tours in Luxor
