“Beautiful temple, great guide!”
Being that this is a fairly far drive from most places you’ll visit in Luxor with Ali this felt like a breeze and we were there in no time, he does a great job at staying clear of crowds so it feels more personal and just makes the whole experience that much better.

“Amazing experience”
Words can’t describe the beauty of the tombs, and is breath taking but can be overwhelming as well, with Ali it all makes allot more sense, he simplifies it and makes it easy to understand with what we were looking at, always looking out for us during the tour and best of all he’s truly a magician with photos he may as well be a professional photographer!
