What people are saying about Luxor, Egypt

This day was really incredibly beautiful. We were picked up at the hotel in Hurghada at 11.50pm. Our driver Bebo spoke good English and got us safely to Luxor so we could sleep in the car with no worries. We got to a parking lot in Luxor at 4am and had to wait an hour for a minibus to take us to a field near the Valley of the Kings. The balloon ride there took 45-60 minutes and was really beautiful with the blood-red sunrise! After that we met our tour guide Sayed who studied Egyptology and German. We had such an instructive and exciting day with him, we agreed with him individually what we would like to do. Our Itinerary: Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Workers, Guided Stone Workshop, Nile Cruise, Lunch, Karnak Temple and Luxor Coach Ride. A truly unforgettable day :)

What an amazing experience. Very well organised from Bomba and Arwa, however a very long journey and quite cold in the early hours (bring a jacket and bag because it gets hot later on). Our Driver Mohamed Zamzam was supportive and helpful throughout the whole journey to and from Luxor and in Luxor too, couldn’t have asked for a better driver. Our Tour Guide Mohamed Sadiq was very knowledgeable and also very helpful when it came to recommendations, I liked that he never forced anything on us and let us choose our desired locations, he also welcomed me and my wife into his home city with open arms. Overall great experience but a very tiring one.

We had an amazing organized day. First we had a boat just for ourselves which took us around the Nile, the guide realized we loved nature so he gave us a proper treat by letting us walk on an island on the Nile to see birds and cows grazing. Then we went to the valley of the kings and temple. We had a very good guide which was very informative, he gave us a lot of info re kings and tombs. This day was great and an amazing experience in Luxor. Highly recommended

BREATHTAKING Experience!! Thank you so much to Arwa who arranged our whole tour was so good! Everything was organised and on point! Mohammed was an amazing chauffeur such a lovely guy and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Ahmed he was also amazing very good at story telling could listen to him all day haha!

Adam and his crew are excellent! We got lucky and had some wind and the sailing was great. If you are interested in a felucca trip when you are in Luxor, you can’t go wrong with these guys.
