An absolutely incredible day trip, Long but worth it! - We took this full-day trip to Luxor from Hurghada with my wife and our two children (15 & 17), and it was simply amazing, impressive, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We booked a private tour with Love Egypt Tours on direct recommendation, and every part of the day exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Dr. Abdul, was a true expert who made the history come alive. He told the stories in such an engaging way that even our teenagers were pulled in and kept asking for more — he even peppered things up with a fun quiz along the way and was genuinely open to all of our questions. We also loved that the program felt flexible and could be adjusted to our interests and pace.
Lunch was at Paris Oasis Restaurant, a lovely family-run place with authentic, delicious food — exactly what we needed to recharge a bit from the heat. We also visited the Thutmoses family workshop, 4th-generation stone artisans, where we could admire real craftsmanship passed down through generations with zero “must-buy” pressure. Just genuine art and skill on display.
A huge thank you to our driver Ibrahim, who got us there safely and took care of every stop and restroom break we needed. Since it was a long day, the drivers swapped on the way back, and Mohamed Davida continued the same top-quality driving service.
If you’re in Hurghada and considering this trip — don’t hesitate. Dr. Abdul, Ibrahim, Mohamed, and the whole Love Egypt Tours team delivered an unforgettable family experience. Five stars all the way.

Super recomendable ! - The tour is truly worth recommending — seeing the ancient Egyptian tombs and their well-preserved art, but above all having a passionate guide (Abdul) who makes you experience this culture from the inside

Great day visiting Luxor. - We had an amazing time with our driver Ahmed and guide Abdul. Abdul was super friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and kind. He even bought us scarabs which was unexpected and generous. We had been apprehensive when we booked the tour as you never know what to expect, but I can't recommend the experience enough. The temples were amazing and the lunch was delicious. 5 stars from me!!

Excellent way to visit Egypt - We had a wonderful trip, fully organized by Hass. We started in Hurghada. Hass picked us up in a luxury car and took us to Cairo, where he organized all our visits with a very knowledgeable guide. We visited the new museum, the pyramids, and made an extended stop at Sakkara. From there, he arranged our domestic flight to Aswan, from where we traveled to Abu Simbel in the same car.
From Abu Simbel, we returned to Aswan to visit Philae and the lesser-known but very interesting Kalabsha.
We then took the road to Luxor, stopping in the desert at El Kab and the Temple of Esna. We finished in Luxor with a visit to, among other things, the Temple of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. Hass did an excellent job organizing everything. We highly recommend his services.
Thank you, Hass!

Brilliant from start to finish - It's not the first time I've booked a tour with Love Egypt Tours! They are a brilliant, reliable, trusted tour company, and I'd recommend them time and again. Hass provides a top-class service from start to finish for his clients and he really cares about you and your trip to make it the very best it can be.
Over the years I've been visiting Egypt (Luxor, Cairo), Hass has arranged an Egyptologist to join me for the trip, all of which have been very knowledgable, each bringing they're own love of ancient history with them on the trip to share with you. I've always travelled to Luxor from Hurghada and the cross-country journey has been brilliant and hassle free. Just sit back and relax! Thanks again, as always, for a fantastic trip Hass! Fancy lunch on the Nile while you're there? Just ask Hass 🌺
