Sympathy, knowledge, comfort. It's worth it because the car we take to go to the right sights
Top! Very good knowledge. And in French. Good advice on visit choices. To recommend. Very good day
One of the best tour guides I have ever encountered in my travels. Ayman was extremely friendly, professional, and deeply knowledgeable not only about the monuments and temples we visited in Luxor, but about history in general as well. You could truly feel his passion and experience throughout the entire tour. What stood out even more was his honesty and genuine care for us as visitors. He warned us about common tourist scams, gave useful local advice, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe during the whole experience. Thanks to him, Luxor felt much more authentic and enjoyable rather than just another tourist destination. He transformed the experience from simply “seeing monuments” into actually understanding the civilization, culture, and stories behind them. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Luxor who wants a memorable and trustworthy guide.
We had a wonderful trip. Salwa was very knowledgeable and helpful. We couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Salwa was amazing! Great communication, kind and very informative. Very patient with us and very knowledgeable. Can’t recommend Salwa and this tour enough. Emo tours are great
The tour guide might have some knowledge of Egyptology. However, after the tour all I can remember for this trip is the unwanted and nonstop forced sale of cartouche from her and the “surprise” visit to the papyrus and alabaster shops, which were not even included in the original itinerary. Also, I was wondering what actually happened to the LUNCH money for the 2 of us. The package we purchased was only for car + guide, but close to lunch time, she told us we are going to a restaurant and the meal would cost 700 LE for each person. How did she know what kind of food we were going to order and it would cost 700 LE for each??? I asked her if we could change to another restaurant, and she said no because it was “recommended” by her company (another forced sale?). She then said she can talk to the restaurant and ask them to reduce to 600 LE for each person. In the end, the food we got was beef tajine which only had TWO cubes of unchewable meat. The total cost of the beef tajine not even including drinks cost us 1,200 LE. From the beginning to the end we never got the menu from the restaurant and didn’t know how much the tajine really cost. We were asked to hand the money to her and then she supposedly handed it over to the restaurant. Well, well, well… We all know what’s going on. Be aware of what tour company you choose from.
Sayed was a fantastic guide! He recommended all the best activities to do, less touristy, saving time and money by offering us the best options. Advice to everyone Sayed!
