- Anissa A0 contributionsFascinating Journey through Abydos and DenderaI recently joined the Abydos and Dendera day tour from Luxor with Nile Cruises, and it exceeded my expectations. The Temple of Seti I in Abydos was a highlight with its intricate carvings and well-preserved hieroglyphs. The vibrant colors and detailed zodiac at the Temple of Hathor in Dendera were equally impressive. Our guide was both knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the ancient history to life with engaging stories and facts. The travel between the sites was smooth and enjoyable, with beautiful scenery along the way. This tour is ideal for anyone interested in exploring the lesser-known but equally fascinating parts of Egypt’s ancient history. The organization was flawless, making for a stress-free and enriching experience. Highly recommended for history buffs and curious travelers alike.Written 23 June 2024

Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making the history interesting. The journey between sites was comfortable and scenic, and the lunch provided was delicious. This tour is perfect for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history. It was well-organized and less crowded, offering a more personal experience.

- danielrL9860GK0 contributionsbest experience ever!We had the privilege of sailing the Nile with Mo Noor, a renowned Egyptologist, and it was an unforgettable experience! Mo's vast knowledge and passion for ancient Egyptian history brought the sacred sites to life. From the majestic temples of Luxor to the mystical Valley of the Queens, Mo's expert guidance and insightful commentary deepened our understanding and appreciation of these ancient wonders. Mo's enthusiasm was contagious, and his ability to weave stories and anecdotes made the history feel tangible and accessible. His dedication to sharing the secrets of Egypt's past was evident in every aspect of the journey. Sailing the Nile with Mo Noor was not just a tour – it was an immersive adventure that left us in awe of the ancient civilization and inspired us to continue exploring the mysteries of Egypt. If you're looking for a truly enriching experience, we highly recommend joining Mo on this incredible journey! Thanks professor Noor!Written 29 May 2024
- Sunshine654850718170 contributionsBest tour guide!!We did the Nile cruise from Luzor to Aswan. The rooms on the cruise were comfortable and the food was excellent. The highlight of our trip was our tour guide, Mohamed Noor. His knowledge of Egyptology makes him a wealth of information. He was very friendly and patient and added a lot of very interesting information. Everything was very-well organised. I would highly recommend Mohamed Noor as a tour guide and would definitely use his services again whenever we visit Egypt.Written 28 May 2024
- ericfX8629GT0 contributionsStrongly recommendOur tour of Dendara and Abydos with Mohamed Noor was a fantastic experience. He isn't a typical tour guide who memorizes a few facts and recites them to you, but a true scholar who can not only discuss the facts but the theories behind the facts. Watching him translate hieroglyphs in real-time was a pretty incredible experience. Highly recommended, especially for true history nerds!Written 16 May 2024

Our day started with the “must do”Hot air balloon rides, although it’s an add-on to our trip, it was 200% worth it. Now the trip to Valley of kings and Hatshipshu temple, our Guide Mo is the real deal. As a PhD. Candidate in Egyptology, he really set himself apart from your regular tour guide. We feel that our money well spent because we were getting real education of this ancient history, not just some folklores that’s made up. He had lots of patience and gave us plenty of time to look around and take photos, everything was well organized. Mo will for sure be our designated guide next time we are back to Egypt. There are just so much more to see

Our guide, Mohammed was fantastic! He is an EXPERT Egyptologist, and the depth of his knowledge was truly exceptional. He presented Egyptian history in a thorough yet accessible way, and kept us engaged, while ensuring we had plenty of time for photos, rest, and questions. The temple of Habu was a real treat, because the temple itself is beautifully preserved, and Mohammed made it come to life with details that I found very interesting as an engineer. He also had great suggestions for which tombs to visit in the valley of the kings, and the concise but thorough overview of egyptian history that he gave at the beginning of the tour put everything we saw in context. We encountered about 5 different tour guides during our time in egypt, and many of them were good. Mohammed was the best of the best.

This was one of several wonderful tours I had with Pesh Tours, with Abdelrahman as my guide. The sites themselves were incredible, and Abdelrahman provided the highest level of professionalism throughout. He is a true scholar of ancient Egypt, and his thorough explanations greatly enhanced my experience. I highly recommend it!

Mo Noor is the most knowledgeable guide I have ever had the privilege of traveling with -- in the world! I spent a few days touring the West Bank and East Bank of Luxor with him. He knows so much about the historical sites, and I learned a lot in my time with him. I also felt that he did a great job organizing each day, managing logistics, and was really a delight to spend time with. I highly recommend that you book your tour with him!

Mo Noor was recommended to me by a friend. I could not have asked for a more patient, friendly, and knowledgeable guide! Mo accompanied me to both the East and West Banks in Luxor, tailoring the experience to the locations I wanted to see all in one day. He was a fountain of information and was able to answer all my questions. We toured the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and visited a stone factory and essential oil, papyrus and silver/gold shops. We then continued on to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. The transportation was air conditioned and we always had plenty of water to drink. Definitely a 5 star experience and memories to last a lifetime. Mo also connected me to his friend Mokhtar Yonis in Cairo where I continued my adventure over two days. We visited the Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, the Museum of Civilization, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, and then traveled down to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. I wish I had had more time so I could have seen even more! Maybe I need to make another trip ;-) Thank you Mo and Mokhtar for providing such an amazing experience with so much knowledge and wonderful memories. It was incredible to see such ancient creations and learn the fascinating history of the Egyptian people. I highly recommend that everyone book with Mo and Mokhtar.

Both of my tour guides, Abdelrahman & Mohamed we’re fantastic. I came to Egypt alone from NYC. They made me feel comfortable and we’re very professional. They’re both educated young men with perfect English.
Luxor was BEAUTIFUL. Hatshepsut temple and The Valley of the Kings is a MUST. Bring water as you will be climbing a lot of steep tombs.
In addition to this, I opted for the hot air balloon. The BEST choice I made. Pick up is early in the morning but the view was worth it!
