“Great guide ”

Ali couldn’t meet us ourselves due to injuries but he still take good care of us and arranged another guides with us. His friend Mou is very knowledgable and passionate about archeology. We had great time in Luxor and very good drivers too. Recommend!

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. Although I was unfortunately unable to be with you in person due to my injury, I’m truly happy to know that you felt well taken care of throughout your time in Luxor. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour with my colleague Mou—he is indeed very knowledgeable and passionate about archaeology—and that you were satisfied with the drivers and overall arrangements. It was a pleasure organizing your visit, and your recommendation means a lot to me. I hope to welcome you again in the future, under better circumstances. Warm regards, Ali

“A wonderful day-tour to Luxor”

We booked our private tour from Safaga to Luxor about four months in advance, and from the start Mohammed was excellent to deal with—fast, clear, and reassuring in all communication. Two days before the tour, Mohammed asked for passport copies for tourism police permits. As Australians, we were cautious, and after explaining our concerns, Mohammed managed to organise all required documentation without them—clearly more work for him, but handled patiently and professionally. Everything was perfectly in order on the day. Our driver arrived at 5:45 am, 15 minutes early, and drove calmly and confidently all day. We had a short stop for fuel and refreshments before continuing to Luxor, where we met Mohammed at the impressive Karnak Temple. Highlights included a private 30-minute Nile boat ride (no sharing with other groups), followed by a delicious and authentic Egyptian lunch at the Aton Restaurant with fresh bread, hummus, chicken, soup, vegetable tagine, and salad. We visited the Valley of the Kings, several royal tombs, the craftsmen’s village (where Christian and I tried carving the inside of an alabaster bowl using a manual rotating tool while the craftsmen clapped and sang), the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. We also learned how papyrus is made and how to spot the real thing. Mohammed was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly well-trained in Egyptology. He answered all our questions and happily took photos at great spots. He also organised electric “TafTaf” carts during two site visits, which was much appreciated. Our driver proudly explained that drivers are regularly drug-tested by police, which made us feel very safe—despite slightly misjudging only one of the many speed bumps. The return drive to Safaga took about 2.5 hours and was smooth and comfortable. Overall, a very well-organised, informative, and enjoyable tour. Highly recommended.

“Exceptional Historical Depth at Dendera and Abydos”

Our third tour was a customized private visit to Dendera and Abydos with Ali, and it was outstanding. These sites reward deeper context, and Ali was exceptionally well suited for that. He was the most knowledgeable guide we had during our entire trip in Egypt, and his depth of understanding really stood out here in particular. Ali’s explanations were consistently deep and precise. He walked us through the temples in detail, down to specific carvings, inscriptions, and architectural choices, and was able to clearly answer every question we had. It never felt like a rehearsed presentation. The explanations were thoughtful, responsive, and grounded in genuine expertise. The tour itself was very well organized and comfortable, especially given the longer distance involved. Ali also checked in with us during the day to make sure we were happy with the pacing and the experience overall, which felt attentive without being intrusive. We booked a total of three tours with Ali, and after completing this final one, it’s easy to see why he’s so highly regarded. If you’re interested in going beyond the standard Luxor itinerary and want a guide who can engage with the history at a deep level, Ali is an excellent choice.

Thank you sincerely for such a detailed and generous review of your final tour. I’m truly honored by your kind words, especially regarding the visit to Dendera and Abydos. These temples are indeed sites that reveal their meaning through deeper context, symbolism, and careful observation, and I’m very pleased that the explanations resonated with you and matched the level of detail you were looking for. Your curiosity and thoughtful questions made the experience especially rewarding for me as a guide. I’m also glad to hear that the organization, comfort, and pacing of the day met your expectations, particularly given the longer distance involved. Checking in during the tour is something I value, as every private experience should feel balanced, comfortable, and tailored—never rushed or impersonal. It means a great deal to know that, after completing all three tours, you felt confident recommending my services, especially to travelers interested in moving beyond the standard itinerary and engaging deeply with Egypt’s history. Thank you for your trust throughout your time in Luxor and beyond. It was a real pleasure guiding you, and I hope to welcome you again for future explorations in Egypt. Warm regards, Ali
