Best trip yet!

I’ve had an amazing time in Luxor, and been on loads of trips, and loved them all, but this was by far the best! Ahmed was a great host, and together with Awad, the captain and his son, I was very well entertained. The company was as great as the beautiful sunset on the Nile. A trip I will remember forever!

Tour of Felouque on the Nile in Luxor

We took a felouque tour on the Nile in Luxor. The experience was magical we loved. We were accompanied by Mohamed who was fantastic and with little care with us. The captain of the boat Awad and his assistant Ahmed also were great with us, I highly recommend

A wonderful guide in upper Egypt

The cities wr visited with Mohammed were Aswan, Luxor and Karnak. Mohammed has been a very friendly and competent guide, always ready to face our needs and very professional and skilled in Ancient Egyptian history. We spent three days with him, visiting all the major archaeological landmarks of upper Egypt and it was like a whole story has been told to us. Nothing was ever mechanic or staged, all made by naturally great person. Hope to see you soon, Habibi!

A great experience and a MUST for the Luxor stay!!

My guide Omar was in the hotel lobby on time and greeted me friendly. The ride on the Nile was very relaxing in sunshine. A beautiful view of Luxor from the water. My great guide Omar also made the activity pleasant: Omar was very friendly, helpful and told me interesting things about the Nile and Luxor. 100 points for the event and especially my guide!!

Ahmed is a very knowledgeable guide who took care of us at every visit. We visited Luxor, Aswan, took a 6 hour ride through the Arabian desert to see abu semble which was worth all the crazy driving in the desert. My favorite was an unplanned boat ride on the Nile to the Nubian village where we had great tea and saw a crocodile in the Nubian home. He actually stayed 2 nights in Aswan to take great care of us.

Amazing cruise in felucca

Superb cruise on the Nile aboard a magnificent felucca, the most beautiful we have met during these 2 hours of sailing. The felucca is very beautiful, very spacious and very comfortable. We made part of the trip forward of the felucca and another part on the roof, the other boats do not have this possibility. Everything is done in absolute calm because there is no engine. The views at sunset are extraordinary. Our guide Mohammed. the driver Salah as well as Captain Hamada were extremely kind. I recommend this outing that left us with stars full of eyes.
