Unforgettable Day Trip to Dendera & Abydos
We had an excellent experience with Mena Gamil as our Egyptologist guide for our tour of Dendera and Abydos from Luxor! Mena was incredibly knowledgeable and did a fantastic job bringing the history of these amazing sites to life. He explained the historical details in a way that was easy to understand, engaging, and memorable, which made the experience so much more meaningful. We learned so much throughout the day and came away with a much deeper appreciation for the history, culture, and significance of these incredible temples. One thing we especially appreciated was the balance Mena struck between providing information and allowing us time to explore on our own. He shared fascinating insights and answered our questions, but also gave us plenty of time to wander through the sites, take photos, and enjoy everything at our own pace without feeling rushed. Mena also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the day. The vehicle was comfortable and air-conditioned, and Omar, the driver was quick and efficient which made the journey that much more enjoyable. After visiting the sites, Mena offered us lunch included in the tour, which we weren’t expecting and unfortunately had to decline due to time constraints. Another thing we really appreciated was that there were no unexpected stops at shops or pressure to purchase anything. We have had experiences with other guides in the past who incorporated unplanned shopping stops into tours, so it was refreshing to have a guide who respected our time and kept the focus entirely on the experience we had signed up for. Overall, Mena was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to making sure we had a great day. Dendera and Abydos are incredible places to visit, and having a guide like Mena made the experience even better. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor who wants to explore these remarkable temples, learn about ancient Egyptian history, and enjoy a comfortable, informative, and hassle-free tour. Thank you, Mena, for such a memorable day!

Temples and Prayers
We used Egypt Luxor Tours an Sameh organized several trips. This was a great day. Got there early enough we were the only ones there. Walking quietly through the temples with prayer in the background was an experience. Sameh uses great guides and drivers.

Rare Experience to Abydos & Dendera
This was a well planned tour to the more distant temples outside of Luxor, which our driver professionally and safely Ahmed was a great driver on this extremely long day. Our Guide was good providing us information regarding key locations around Abydos and the history of Dendera. During our visit the trip to Dendera, the famous "Dendera Lights" are underground and seemed to require an additional Ticket. I would highly recommend this tour if you wish to see these unique temples with hieroglyphs nowhere else!

Beautiful visit, incredible art!
A wonderful trip to Abydos and Dendara! These are genuine treasures of Egypt, and not many people visit them. Emad gave us lots of information about what we were seeing and helped us better understand this beautiful country and its wonderful temples.

Abedos and Dendera are great! Do not miss it!
Mena, our guide, and Ahmed, our driver, were great. They picked us up on time, drove us to Abedos and Dendera quickly and safely. Mena refreshed our knowlege of Egyptian geography and history on the way to the sites. Quick overview of the main sites and segnificant events was provided before letting us to explore the sites on our own. We had planty of time to take pics and explore the temples. No rush, no pressure, well orgonized and easy... probabely the most easy going tour we took in Egypt this far. Highly recomended.
