I had Muhamad as my tour guide for this tour. He was amazing. Not only was he the an expert in everything egyptian but he was a very personable guide. Funny, great photographer but also explained and taught what we were seeing in easy terms but also was very thorough. You couldn't have a better guide than Muhammad and our driver was amazing as well. His name was Dandawary. I would be his passenger anyday. Hes safe and effective driver. This tour is a must do in luxor.
Incredible tour where not only did we learn loads but it felt like we were held and made very safe the entire time. Moreso, Mohammad our guide was incredibly respected by every community we visited. Highly recommend
By far the most magical experience to be had in Egypt, and best of all you get to experience it with relatively no other tourists. Hani suleiman was my guide for this jam packed full day tour of abydos and dendara. Two of the most exquisite temples that ancient Egypt has to offer. In fact it is my fourth time in Egypt and my sole wish to experience these temples. I was not disappointed as dendara alone boasts the most amazing standing roof of any temple in Egypt full of restored colours and glory. I highly recommend every traveller to experience this wonderful piece of ancient history and hopefully you are lucky to have Hani as your personal private guide for the day!
I really wanted to see Abydos, and was not disappointed! Dendera was great too! My tour guide Mohammed was great!
I traveled alone for 10 days in Egypt and I saw most of the temples and sights that there is to see, at least the most famous, from Cairo to Aswan. It was a all package but unfortunately these two temples were not included on that package, so I arranged to include an extra day for this two temples and I can say it was two of the most beautiful temples I saw. the conservation and the colours are just breath taking. And since they are not in the way of the rest of the sights it's mostly empty and you can take your time and pace to appreciate it all. I went with an amazing tour guide called Mona. I highly recommend you to book this tour and request for her to be your guide. She's very knowledgeable, friendly and she know's how to make you feel as if you were the king in the hold days wondering on your own temple and history. I was lucky enough to have her as well to visit all Luxor (east and west bank) (I'll leave the link for that tour in the end of this comment). Here is the only temple where you can see such vibrant colours and also see some carvings of Cleopatra. And if my words are not enough I'll leave some photos I took on my visit so you can consider include this on your next trip to Egypt.
