We had a great day touring Luxor with Ragab as our guid and Hassan as our driver. We started the day with an amazing balloon ride at sunrise. Then he took us to the major sites on the West Bank. We had a delicious lunch overlooking the Nile. Then we took the ferry over to the East Bank and saw Karnak temple and Luxor temple. We also stopped at an Alabaster shop and Papyrus shop where they give a presentation and you have the option to buy, but there is no pressure. Ragab explained a lot of the things we saw very well, so it made it fun to see and understand better. I highly recommend it!342tanvip

From our 10 day tour of Egypt this was our favorite experience. From the start of the day with the hot air balloon was just perfect. Pilot was very experienced and it was incredibly safe. Our tour guide Abdul was the best. If you actually want to learn about the history you need to do a tour with him. He is not only very knowledgeable but he has such a big passion for Egyptology which was very nice to learn from. He wasn’t just a tour guide but a teacher that left us with great memories for a lifetime. He is very kind and took his time explaining everything from the valley of the kings to the temples and any questions we may have had.E8577HAmartinv

Khalid Eltayeb is truly one of a kind in his approach and knowledge, he was so detailed in every historic event, was very generous with his hospitality, always thought on behalf of me, in every way. I had a magical and amazing experience thanks to him. Will never forget. Also, the driver was very gentle, always drove safe and took care of the comfort part. I mean, it was very hot outside and having a car with airconditioning is truly a blessing. Thank you so much, sorry I forget the drivers name, the sun took it's toll on me, but he was really well behaved and a quality person. Hopefully Khalid knows his name, it was from the trip today, April 16th in Luxor. Thank you so much!norvster_bn

If you’re looking for a high-quality tour guide in Luxor, I can definitely recommend „Abdul“ who gave us a very knowledgeable perspective of their history. Imagine attending a course in a university with one of your favorite professors. Khaled (our driver) was always on time and drives safely. The car was also clean and in very good condition. The hot air balloon sunrise tour was amazing! What a great way to see the temples in Luxor from above. The pilot provided a brief intro about the flight/ride as well as the various views/landmarks from that we saw from above. Overall this tour was worth the time and money. Really enjoyed every single moment of this trip.
