“A fantastic final day of touring”
After having spent four days with Ali, I can assure you that you’re definitely in good hands with him. We have seen the entire Luxor region and he is now taking me across the country all the way to the Red Sea. He even helped me find a guide for my final days in Cairo. Thank you Ali for everything. This has been once in a lifetime trip.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these truly touching words. Spending four days together exploring the wonders of Luxor has been a real pleasure. From the temples and tombs on both banks of the Nile to the hidden corners of the region, it was an honor to share this journey with you and bring the history of this incredible land to life. I’m very happy that I could also assist with your transfer to the Red Sea and help arrange a trusted guide for your time in Cairo. Making sure every part of your experience runs smoothly is always my priority. Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and for choosing to discover Egypt with me.

“Hidden gems”
We visited Abydos today, an amazingly preserved temple a few hours north of Luxor. Our visit was spectacular, and even though we stopped at some other more obscure places, Ali was an expert in the history of everything. Today was again wonderful.

Thank you very much for your beautiful review! I’m truly glad you enjoyed your journey to Abydos Temple. It’s one of Egypt’s real hidden treasures — incredibly well-preserved and filled with deep spiritual and historical significance. Exploring such a sacred place always feels special, especially when you can take your time and appreciate the fine reliefs and powerful stories carved into the walls. I’m also happy you enjoyed the lesser-known stops along the way. Sometimes the quieter, more obscure sites reveal some of the most fascinating insights into ancient Egyptian life and belief. Thank you again for your kind words. It’s a pleasure sharing these remarkable places with you, and I’m looking forward to continuing this wonderful journey together! Warm regards, Ali
