Maria in Luxor

Superb day with Maria in Luxor. She accompanied us all day with great kindness, she took good care of the whole family, and she taught us many things. The visits were not too long, and we thank her because with 4 children in 45°C heat, she knew how to adapt. The lunch restaurant was very good too, the best mango juice of the vacation! For 20€ for 5 people! I highly recommend her++ thank you Maria.
