What an amazing experience!!! - An incredible tour with Sayed and our driver Ahmed. I absolutely recommend booking this tour. The long car journey is worth the wait…Abydos Temple is amazing. Sayed then took us for a delicious lunch at a family who open their home to feed the hungry tourists, fantastic food!
The best bit of our trip is Dendera Temple, magnificent and it took our breath away.
A trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much for all your knowledge Sayed, you were a fantastic tour guide.

Private transfer and day tour from Luxor hotel ➡️ Abydos temple ➡️Dandera temple ➡️ Hurghada hotel. - We found this great Luxor tour company from TripAdvisor, contacted by WhatsApps for ccustomizing the private transfer tour: picking up from hotel in Luxor, visiting to Abydos temple and Dandera temple, after this, driving to hotel in Hurghada directly. It was quite a looong way trip, but with the professional, patient and kind driver, we had super great experience at that day.

Great day trip from Luxor. - Beautiful temple at Dendara! Sayed gamal was a great guide with explanations for the many rooms, their use and descriptions. The temple is two hours form Luxor each way. The car was very nice with a great driver Tamer. Was interesting to see the country side and small villages.

My end and beginning - I did this the first day of the year and what a start. Just an hour away is perhaps the most beautiful temple I have seen during my trip. Beautiful colors and unique in its existence. The ride was again pleasant thanks to Hamo and to my guide Adam/Ahmed nothing but gratitude. Thank you!

A sublime day in the Valleys of Queens and Kings! - 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!

Knowledgeable Guide and an Incredible Temple - Our guide, Sayed Gamal, was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable and brought to life what we were looking at.
As for the temple, it is incredibly preserved and well worth a visit. Some of the most vibrant colours and details we've seen in all of Egypt!
