“Amazing Visit to Valley of Kings & Hatshepsut Temple”

Mohamed was the most amazing guide we could have asked for! He looked after us from the second he picked us up from the hotel. The experience at every temple was beyond brilliant and Mohamed even took us to little spots we could have totally missed if we tried to venture on our own or say went for a group tour guide ! He is also extremely knowledgable of the history and it totally made our experience unforgettable! My wife is also heavily pregnant so Mohamed took extra care and allowed for rests every so often even though she feels well in herself, which is very kind of him and considerate. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience, we are booking with you again !

“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.
