Good guide
My guide is Mahmoud Essa, he's very nice & professional,we got detailed explanation, he gave us enjoyed at any moment. Hope be my guide during my next tour. Thank for taking nice photos
Charming and wonderful.
The app didn’t let me choose the appropriate tour, me and my friend did the half day tour to Luxor temple and Karnak temple + felucca ride. Our tour guide was Demiana, she was so sweet, available, knowledgeable and she made sure our time in Luxor was amazing! I really recommend this tour and specially with Demiana.
Temples tour
Raymond was great! We had a wonderful time visiting the temples.
Valley of the kings and amazing balloon ride
This was day 5 of our 8 day tour of Egypt. Up at 4:15 am for our Ballon ride at sunrise. (Must do as it was so surreal and you can see the families working on the crops and view and experience the valley of the kings and other world heritage sites from the air) Then our driver (Mohamed Nour) and the guide Marwa (Fatafect Elsoker) Took us to the west bank to the Valley of the Kings/Hatshepsut temple/Colossi of menmon Then back to the cruise ship at lunchtime to sail to Kom Ombo The balloon ride and organisation was great with breakfast boxes that could feed 2 people in one box along driving and sorting of the balloon ride was seamless. (Which has been the first day on this tour that this has happened) The ride was amazing to experience the Valley of the Kings etc from the air and so clearly. Totally loved it. Upon landing, all be it, a bit unscheduled where we landed, the team was there to take us to the next step/site without hesitation We arrived and our guide Marwa shared her knowledge and local history with us as we moved through the tombs of the valley of the kings. Once she had finished we had free time to explore at our leisure and the other tombs not visit with her. I must say they were outstanding and a must do, it was not super busy so lots of crowd free photos. We were then off to the Hatshepsut temple and the Colossi of Menmon. This is a sight to see, it just leaves you wondering who amazingly skilled and resourceful the Egyptian culture is. Marwa was good and shared her knowledge with us in a professional way that allowed us to absorb the culture. At this point I need to shut out to our driver who shared his knowledge base on areas we went to and allowed us stops to explore and take photos of things we wanted to as we were leaving. Mohamed Nour was humbling and insightful with a clear love for sharing his Egyptian history with us as we drive back to the ship. Thank you for sharing your history with us.
