Always happy - Early at 4:30 a.m. we - mom 53 & daughter 34 - were picked up very punctually at the hotel in Safaga. Travel companion Hany and driver Wadi picked us up in an air-conditioned comfortable vehicle. First we went to Dendera. Hany has incredible knowledge. He is an Egyptologist by training and speaks incredibly good German. With charming anecdotes, he gave us everything we needed to know about the history of the temple and goddess Hathor. He gave us time to study the cartouches and drawings. We took advantage of the “extra visit” of the “basement” and the roof and were not disappointed: through a small opening we crawled in and out of one part on all fours. Another part could only be reached by ladder up, there it went through an opening.. This time with the feet forward - all adventurous and exciting, which deepened the impression of the great tour. We were even able to enter the Osiris temple, which is normally closed off (partly still preserved).
Afterwards we went to Abydos to the temple of Seth I. The roads there through Sohag were more than adventurous, but clearly showed us how well we Germans are doing.
The temple complex is smaller than Dendera, impressed by the staircase up to the inside. Hany told us about the 7 deities worshipped here and explained the drawings to us in each room. Even though we were all very tired, Hany did not lose his good mood, drew our attention to small things and made for great pictures.
After the temple tour we were in Sohag, about 3 minutes from the temple eating typical country food together with very friendly hosts. It was very delicious!
Conclusion:
Hany gave us tips, made sure we weren't getting ripped off anywhere and always nearby to answer questions and take care of us girls. We were treated with respect by him and Wadi. Next year we will come back and will explicitly ask for “our two men” when booking – anytime, anywhere. We're in as long as you're in!
Easy booking online, queries via WhatsApp are answered competently, within a short time.
The only thing you could work on would be payment. We would have liked a card number, Paypal or whatever. The walk to the vending machine to pick up 15000 XP was - I call it nerve-wracking at 8 pick-ups of 2000 and contributed to the exhilaration of the watching crowd.

Amazing Temple Experience! - I had an incredible day with Bahgat! He's an extremely knowledgeable guide and very excited to share his knowledge of the temples and ancient Egyptian history. The site themselves were unforgettable and I got plenty of time to walk around and take extra pictures. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

100% satisfied with the excursion to Denderah and Abydos! - Two temples to discover absolutely! Denderah is certainly the best preserved temple in the Luxor area. The colors of the friezes have been beautifully preserved. A real feast for the eyes and the same is true of the temple of Abydos even older. Excursion carried out with Emo tour whose organization was perfect!

Ahmed Mostafa, the spiritual guide to Egypt - This trip was very important for me during this time. We were traveling with a small group and our personal guide Ahmed Mostafa. Our guide was there for us at all times, guided us through his culture, his country and the people with his very personal way. His spiritual connection and his specialist knowledge of Egyptian archaeology have made this trip an unforgettable experience for me.
When vocation and profession meet, Ahmed Mostafa comes out of it.
There is no trip to Egypt for me without Ahmed Mostafa.
Thank you very much
