Our trip to Egypt was amazing and made even better with our great tour guide. Abu Bakr was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the tour really fantastic. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to visit, 10/10!
A very nice day to travel with my guide Abu. He tells you the stories as if you were live in that time with passion and a laugh. We went to Karnak and Luxor temple and had dinner by a local family. So nice to see how they live. They received me very friendly and we had nice conversations. A day I will never forget!
Thank you very much 🙏
Our Tourguide was amazing good. He, Abu Bakr Ahmed, realy knew a lot New informormation about the accient old Egypt culture. And how the tempels were built and for what purpase. Unforgeteble trip.
My husband and I had the pleasure of touring Luxor with Abu last Spring and he made our experience the trip of a lifetime! We cannot wait to come back to Egypt and explore again with Abu. From the moment he met up with us, his enthusiasm and knowledge drew us in to the magical world of ancient Egypt. He is a reservoir of information and we could have spent hours asking him questions and listening to his knowledge of history. His tours were the perfect balance of “sight seeing” and education. As a local, he also had some great stories about the experiences of locals and possible ancient Egyptian curses. Make sure you ask about them! Very cool stuff. We cannot wait to go back and see more of Egypt with Abu!
My family and I traveled with Abu during our stay, and we had an amazing time! He did a wonderful job of explaining each site and artifact, and made sure we did not have any difficulty as tourists in a foreign country. He was very knowledgeable about each site and friendly with us and everyone he interacted with. We went to Karnak and Luxor temples, Valley of the Kings, and Dendara temple, to name a few. He explained each site’s history, cultural significance, and its relevance currently. Overall, we had a lovely time, and we would not hesitate to recommend him to other tourists!
Had been to Luxor, Dendera and Abydos before, but this time with our guide Abu it was a new experience. His passion for his work, the enthusiasm with which he shares his knowledge about Ancient Egypt and the ease with which he can tell fascinating stories made the old days come back to life. Heard and saw many new things that inspire me to explore even more. Fascinating to listen to. Abu also had the necessary sense of humor and sensed when we needed time to discover and feel for ourselves. In short, very enjoyable, fascinating and educational to travel with Abu. Highly recommended!
Abu was one of the best tour guides I had while visiting Egypt. He knew his stuff and was so passionate about his work. He really makes you feel like a friend and not like a tourist 🙂
Abu was our tour guide showing us the fabulous sights of Luxor. He was very enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable (I’m still in awe on how he can remember all that information and dates, etc) and answered all our questions that we had on ancient Egypt. Abu is very personable with a great sense of humour and certainly made our holiday very enjoyable …so thanks again Abu 👍😁 If you are looking for a great, knowledgeable tour guide , then we highly recommend Abu
We very much appreciated having Abu as our local guide. Here are just a few things we can say: -He enjoys sharing knowledge of the ancient cultures + that made it fun -Great sense of humour + always smiling – Well planned itinerary with lots of local options woven in for experiencing local culture and food – As meditators we appreciated that he has a connection to the temples and their high energy spots which enhanced our personal experience of the various sites – We always felt safe & well cared for – Abu opened doors for us on our trip for deeper experiences only a local operator like this could offer —thank you for making our first Egypt trip potent and extraordinary!
Abu was a brilliant tour guide. He made sure everything was great and gave us much knowledgeable information on beautiful sites. Everything was planned out well and he was very good with timings. He spoke very good English and we had direct contact with him. Without him our great memories of Egypt wouldn’t have been created. Thank you Abu!
