I would definitely repeat.

Everything was very good, from the communication via WhatsApp, the pick-up at the hotel door, the driver very good, the journey of the estimated duration and without incidents or delays. We waited as long as we wanted so we could enjoy the temple without rushing. The company is very attentive before, during and after the trip.

Great transfer and ruins!

Great driver and car! The interior is very clean and comfortable. The driver was very kind. The ruins are full of things to see, from colonnades to murals and reliefs. There weren't many people, so we were able to enjoy ourselves at our own pace. You should definitely go. I recommend it!

Visit to Dendera.

I hired this company last minute for a ride to Dendera, they were very attentive to our requests, they offered us a guide but we just wanted a driver to go to the temple and back and that's what we had, the driver (Ahmed) was on time, was polite and waited patiently for us at Dendera perhaps we took too much time there (it is such an impressive place to see). I don't know other seasons, but going to this place in january was a great way to get out of the way of the cruises and the crowds at Luxor, I would recommend a lot to go to Dendera using this company. If I'm ever back here I would consider them for other activities, I was very pleased.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind review! 🌟 We are delighted to hear that your **last-minute trip to Dendera** went smoothly and that Ahmed provided a **punctual, polite, and patient service**. We’re glad you enjoyed visiting Dendera in January and had the chance to explore this **impressive temple** without the crowds. At **Eyes of Egypt**, we always strive to accommodate our guests’ requests—whether it’s a **private driver, guided tour, or full experience**—and we’re thrilled that we could make your trip pleasant and hassle-free. We would be honored to welcome you again for other activities whenever you return to Luxor!

dendera is amazing and the drive feels safe

dendera temple is amazing, I would say it is the most special one I ever visited in egypt. around 1hr 15mins drive from Luxor, it worths. and suggest you spend there at least 1.5hr as the temple has so many to see. remember to but the catacombs ticket at ticket office otherwise you have to go out to but the ticket again. highly recommend this temple. and the private driver is nice and flexible. he picked me very on time and the AC is very important after the visit.
