“East Bank Tour”
We loved our East Bank tour with Ali! We went to Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple. I recommend starting early at 7am to beat the crowds. Ali provided all the right information, gave us plenty of time to take pictures, and was so helpful in resolving ticket problems with the staff (I ordered entrance tickets for the wrong day). Highly recommend him and this tour!
