“THE BEST GUIDE EVER”
This tour was more then we expected! Ali has great knowledge, he can take great photos and he will make you enjoy everything. We really had fun and learned so many new things. We would recommend him and when we come to Egypt we’ll go on another tour with him. <3

I’m so happy you learned new things and enjoyed the photos as well. Your recommendation means a lot to me, and I look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt for another unforgettable adventure. Until next time, my friends!

“A Perfect Trip”
Our trip was perfect for so many reasons. We always had problem purchasing the entry tickets via the official website and Ali helped us to buy the tickets in advance via the counters. On the trip day Ali could not come because he had a motorbike accident (hopefully he recovers soon!) and so sent his friend, Mohamed, a friendly archaeologist who explained everything thoroughly. The car was also nice. An SUV with a cool AC. And the lunch venue and the menu selection for us were perfect. So I give 5 stars for this guide & trip!

Ali S.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind wishes! I truly appreciate your understanding and am sorry I couldn’t join you personally that day. I’m very happy that Mohamed took great care of you and made sure you had an enjoyable and informative experience. He is a valued member of our team, and I’m proud to have him represent us. I’m also glad we could help you arrange your entrance tickets in advance and that you enjoyed the comfortable vehicle and lunch. Your satisfaction is always our top priority, and it means a lot to know that everything went smoothly despite the unexpected change. Thank you again for your trust and for choosing us for your journey in Egypt. I hope to meet you personally if you visit again, and I wish you many more wonderful travels!

“Very cool tour with Ali 10/10”
We had a great day doing the temples on the east side of Luxor with Ali. He arrived early to pick us up in a nice air-conditioned mini bus and told the stories of the temples of Karnak and Luxor very clearly and showed us all the coolest spots. It was great because he knew all the answers to the questions we asked him and was very generous with his sharing of local culture and laughing at our English jokes . When we wanted to make extra stops for snacks, the pharmacy or shopping he took us to his recommended places and helped us get what we needed. I would recommend this tour because Ali is patient, kind and great for our family as we wanted to learn more about the amazing history of Egypt.

Ali S.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and 10/10 recommendation! It was a real pleasure spending the day with your family and exploring the magnificent temples of Karnak and Luxor together. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the stories, discovered some special spots, and had fun along the way! For me, a great tour is not only about ancient history but also about sharing Egyptian culture, having a few laughs, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Thank you for your trust and lovely company. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Egypt for more unforgettable adventures!
