Had a great morning in Luxor thanks to Ali. Lots of explanation, some free time, and he is incredibly knowledgeable. There is always room for questions, and the transport back to our hotel was also very pleasant.
Thanks so much for your kind review 😊 ☺️
We had an amazing day with our guide Ali visiting Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple. He picked us up from our hotel early in the morning and made sure we arrived at Luxor Temple before it got busy, which made the experience even more special. Ali speaks excellent English and has a deep knowledge of ancient Egyptian history. He is very friendly and explains everything in a clear and engaging way. At Karnak Temple it was a bit more crowded, but he always found quiet spots where he could comfortably share his explanations, which we really appreciated. After each guided part, he gave us enough free time to explore on our own and take photos, which was perfect. At the end of a fantastic day, he drove us safely back to our hotel in El Gouna. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with great explanations and plenty of time to enjoy everything at our own pace. Thank you, Ali! We highly recommend him to everyone.
It was hot and we slowed down our pace. Ali our guide was patient and worked with us per our speed. Good thing was we didn't do East and West in one day.
Thanks so much for your kind review 😊
It was a guided car and driver-only tour, but it was very efficient. The driver was very kind and the car was beautiful. Thank you for the water and juice too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It was a real pleasure welcoming you to Luxor
Me and my mother had a wonderful experience with Ali. He and his driver collected us from our hotel and drove us to multiple sites across the West Bank. He gave informative, detailed descriptions of The Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Workers, Hatshepshut Temple and much more. He gave us many insider tips and told funny, personable stories about the lives of the Pharaohs. Ali also took us to see some traditional craft taking place and afterwards recommended somewhere lovely for food. I can’t stress enough that Ali is the best in town. He knows everything you want to learn and more. All praise for Ali!

I took the Private Half-Day Karnak and Luxor Temples Tour, and it was easily the highlight of my trip. The temples are stunning, but what made the experience exceptional was my guide, Ali. Ali was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Egypt’s history. He brought the sites to life with fascinating stories and made the tour feel personal and unrushed. His ability to explain complex history in a relatable way was impressive. If you’re visiting Luxor, this tour is a must – and be sure to ask for Ali. He made the day both educational and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Very Professional, knowledgeable and friendly guide. Did a full day Abu Simbel, and a Karnak and Luxor tour with the guide.
