- LisaG51070 contributionsFantastic tour and guide. Highly recommend!!Our full day tour of the West Bank at Luxor was everything we had hoped for and more. We paid for the driver, tour guide, entry tickets and lunch and it was worth every penny. We read up on some Egyptian history before we travelled, so we knew a little bit about what we were seeing. Rady was such an extremely knowledgeable guide, taking the time to explain in detail what we were seeing and answering all our questions, going above and beyond! We were never rushed and learned so much. This all made for an amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour and Rady especially.Written 1 December 2024

- Ilayda U0 contributionsExceptional Tour Guide for an Unforgettable Luxor ExperienceWe had an incredible experience with Sayed Gamal as our tour guide in Luxor. On our first day, he guided us on a private tour of the East Bank, and his knowledge and professionalism impressed us so much that we immediately booked him again for the next day to explore the West Bank. On the West Bank, Sayed took us to all the must-see sites: the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Habu Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. He was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the history and significance of each site in detail and even helping us choose the best tombs to visit. When we decided last-minute to add the Luxor Museum to our itinerary, Sayed was very accommodating and seamlessly adjusted our schedule to include it, all while ensuring we made it to our afternoon flight on time. Communication with Sayed was effortless, and his professionalism and reliability made the entire experience stress-free. He even took us to a fascinating alabaster shop where we purchased some beautiful memorabilia. We can’t recommend Sayed enough! If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, flexible, and trustworthy, he’s the one to choose for your Luxor adventure.Written 1 December 2024

Dendara and Abydos are amazing temples and worth visiting despite the long drive from Luxor. Especially Abydos is decorated with fully colored relief which might be the most beautiful in the ancient Egyptian temples. Our tour guide Rady is really professional ,quite reliable and good at time management. His knowledge in the ancient Egyptian history and culture is amazing. Thank you Rady for giving us a wonderful time to see around such beautiful places.

The entire tour experience was good. Our guide Mohammed brought us to Dendera and Abydos. He was knowledgable and communicated well in English. These two templea see lesser tourists, so the site visit was very relaxed and we could take our time soaking in the sights.
Abydos is especially worthwhile, as the amount of hieroglyphs preserved was impressive. Not to mention the Osirion temple , although closed, was an amazing sight to behold. The massive granite bricks and still flowing green waters within the temple was mind boggling.
Highly recommend this tour to people who want to go beyond the standard tour sites.

We did our excursion with Radi, who is an excellent guide. He took the time to explain everything clearly to us in English, and even gave us interesting anecdotes. I highly recommend this excursion which is different from the others, with absolutely magnificent and very well preserved temples. Thank you very much for your kindness and patience.

We were accompanied in this tour by an extraordinary guide, Sayed Gamel, who is a real living encyclopedia. He knew every little detail and always had an anecdote to tell. Very attentive to our needs, he , as a bonus, take us to eat in a small restaurant absolutely charming. An excursion and guide highly recommended!

We visited the Temple of Hathor at Dendara, and the Temple of Seti I and Temple of Ramses II in Abydos, which were absolutely breathtaking. Don’t be put off by the traveling hours as they’re all worth it!
Booking with Mohamed from the beginning was simple and quick. And we’re so glad to have Rady as our guide on this tour. He is passionate and knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history. It’s been quite a long day given the distances covered, but Rady was so much fun to spend time with! Everything including pickup and meal was nicely arranged too.

Early start and the guide Rady and our driver were perfect on time. The first temple Dendera was reached after a safe trip, and we were the first visitors. A very impressive and well preserved temple and even more fascinating because Rady gave a passionate and professional explanation. The second temple is upon its best when explained in detail, and Professor Rady was perfect in it. After a fine lunch with locals we turned back to the hotel and will remember the trip as one of our most surprising ones! Thanks!

Mena was a terrific guide for Dendara and Abydos. He has a wisdom and pace that draw you in to learn. He walks you through the history and noteable things to see and teaches which I really enjoyed. Then he let me explore the sites for a lot of pictures and to reflect on what he taught me. I felt respected and I had the time to fully enjoy the sites and appreciate them. Again, Mena was a wonderful guide and I highly recommend him. Also, go early as the sites are amazing with few other tourists.
