Incredible experience with Ahmed in Luxor! Ahmed was great!My girlfriend and I were in Luxor for two days and we wanted to visit the King's Valley and Karnak. We are both professional tour guides in Pompeii (Italy) so we asked a few colleagues for a contact of an excellent local guide: that's how we met Ahmed!He met us at the bus station right on time with a minivan and a driver, drove us to the hotel and waited for us to have a shower and change our clothes. Then we went to Karnak and spent a long time there. I usually ask (too) many questions but Ahmed was kind and patient and replied every time with plenty of details about historical events and archaeological discoveries.The day after we arrived, we left in the morning to visit the King's Valley, Deir el-Medina, the Colossi of Mennon and the incredible site of Medinet Habu (what a place!). Again Ahmed gave us precise explanations and let us spend a bit of time to observe the breathtaking columns inscribed with beautiful hieroglyphics.So, what else to say...Ahmed is very knowledgeable and kind, he shared with us his passion and treated us like family for a couple of days. You would be lucky to have him as a guide. For sure we will contact him next time we go to Egypt.Grazie Ahmed! We hope to see you soon Fabio & Anna

Great experiences for my whole family with Ahmed! Me, my wife and my 3 kids stayed in Luxor for 3 days and Ahmed was our guide. He organized an individual tour for us with the focus on the interest of the kids. Beside the common attractions, where he explained the history in a kid-understandable speech, a highlight for the whole family was a stay for a whole day in a local farm, where we could help harvesting the fresh ingredients for our lunch, bake traditional bread, could help preparing traditional lunch and talk to the locals in english. Ahmed is very kind, reliable and professional. We felt we were in good hand for the whole time

Superb one day tour in Cairo museums I accidentally came across Ahmed from a social media post highly recommending him when I was searching for a local guide knowledgeable in Egyptian history. I booked a one day tour with him in Cairo to visit the two museums and it was amazing! He asked for what I was mostly interested in learning about and made sure that the tour meet my expectations. I learned so much about the ancient Egypt, the key periods, what happened and mostly importantly why it happened - exactly what I was looking for! Ask him anything that you are curious about, the mythology, the hieroglyphs…you won’t be disappointed. Ahmed was super patient and also ensured that the information was not overwhelming. Look forward to joining his Luxor tour in the future!

The best tour guide in Egypt ! (Personal experience, not advertisement or paid comment) We have spend two days with our guide Ahmed and we have a really great time ! We have our good and bad time in Egypt. And having a guide like Ahmed will only give you the great time ! No more scam, no more disappointment and confusion with all the chaos and misleading information in Egypt. He can arrange car and experience that you would like to have. Ahmed have great knowledge of Egypt history and culture. With his 18+ years experience as a tour guide with proper license, I highly recommend anyone who would like to travel to Egypt ! The car he arranged for us is so new with professional driver. After the tour, we met up with the Ahmed and his other tour guide friend (professional one), we’ve learn a lot about the Egypt community and culture from them. It’s such a pleasure trip with Ahmed ! 我們和導遊Ahmed一起度過了兩天,我們玩得很開心!我們在埃及度過了好時光,也有過壞時光。但擁有像艾哈邁德這樣的導遊一定會讓您度過愉快的時光!不再有騙局,不再有因埃及的混亂和誤導性訊息而感到失望和困惑。他可以安排您想要的車輛和體驗。艾哈邁德 (Ahmed) 對埃及的歷史和文化非常了解。他有 18 年以上導遊經驗並持有相應執照,我強烈推薦給任何想去埃及旅遊的人!他為我們安排的車很新,還有專業司機。遊覽結束後,我們與艾哈邁德和他的另一位導遊朋友(專業導遊)會面,我們從他們那裡了解了很多關於埃及社區和文化的知識。和Ahmed一起旅行真是太愉快了!

Trip of a lifetime! The Upper Nile is a world-class treasure trove of priceless historical sites, natural wonders, tasty food and friendly people. Ahmed was as good a guide for our multi-day adventure there as we could have hoped for. He speaks excellent, educated English, is extremely knowledgeable about the long, deep, rich history of ancient Egypt, and is friendly and accommodating. We told him that we would like to get off of the typical tourist itinerary and see how Egyptians lived their daily lives. He arranged a custom tour for us to see the Aswan market area, eat local food like khoshari, Om Ali and hibiscus tea, and to visit a Nubian village upriver from the city. Absolutely superb service!

Nahrung für den Magen und das Hirn 😊 Der Ausflug hat sich gelohnt. Der Reiseführer sorgte für eine angenehme Atmosphäre und war sehr hilfsbereit. Es fehlte weder an Kultur noch an leckere Köstlichkeiten Ägyptens.Freundliche Menschen begegnet und Leckereien probiert und dazu ein großartige Portion Geschichte.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions travelers ask us before they book

Short, honest answers. If yours isn’t here, a real person in Luxor will reply on WhatsApp.

Still deciding?

Send us your dates and a rough idea of what you’d love to see — we’ll reply with a day-by-day plan and real prices.
Every tour is private: your own guide, your own air-conditioned vehicle and a schedule built around you. We never combine bookings into coach groups.
A dahabiya carries 8–12 guests, sails under wind and stops at islands and villages the big ships skip. A cruise ship has pools, larger cabins and a lower price. Our comparison guide walks through both.
October to April brings mild days for temples and the desert; May to September is hot but quieter and better priced, with early starts and afternoons on deck. The eclipse sailing in August 2027 is the exception worth the heat.
DRAFT — PENDING CONFIRMATION. A small deposit secures your dates; the balance is paid on arrival in Egypt or by card beforehand. All prices are per person in US dollars.
Yes — tailor-made trips are most of what we do. Tell us your dates, interests and pace and we’ll send a day-by-day plan within 24 hours.
