Luxor Guide Who Made History Come Alive - Our guide Ahmed was awesome. Super knowledgeable and made everything actually make sense instead of just pointing at temples and moving on. By the end of the day I honestly felt like I could start reading some of the hieroglyphics, which made the whole experience way cooler. He kept it fun, answered all our questions, and you could tell he really cares about the history. Made the day easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely recommend if you want more than just a basic tour.

Luxor charm in one day - We strongly recommend that anyone thinking of travelling to Egypt go to Luxor and anyone going to Luxor join Ahmed's tour Luxor is a city full of Egyptian charms and plenty to see, but this full-day tour gave me days worth of experiences. Luxor is divided into two main regions across the Nile. It takes time to travel from one to the other, but we were able to efficiently make two round trips and enjoy Luxor from morning to night. We first crossed the Nile by boat in the morning, then ballooned from just below the Valley of the Kings, for an amazing aerial view of the Valley of the Kings and the Nile in the morning light. Return to your hotel for breakfast, then visit Karnak Temple and cross the Nile to the Valley of the Kings I was thrilled to visit the Valley of the Kings, especially the cemetery of King Tutankhamun, which I had always wanted to visit. Ahmed told us in detail beforehand about which cemetery to enter and how much time to allocate, so we enjoyed the limited time we had. "Before my visit to Luxor, I had seen the exhibition of Tutankhamun in the newly built Grand Museum of Egypt in Cairo, and when I thought, ""Those wonderful items were found in these,"" I was stoked to think about the times when the pharaohs lived and how those who remained felt about seeing off those who died." For lunch, we had delicious Egyptian food at the restaurant where Mr. Carter lived, where he discovered Tutankhamun's tomb. "Lunch was exceptional because you could see the Valley of the Kings and think, "Was Mr. Carter living here while excavating the ruins?"" I wanted to relax more because the food was delicious, but it is time-oriented because it is a tour full of After lunch, visit the Queen Hatshepsut Burial Hall. Again, Ahmed devised an efficient way to get around, so I could see the murals and the amazing views from the hilltops where the colors still remain without getting caught up in the group. Many Japanese people seem to think Egypt is scary because of the incidents that have happened here in the past, but now the Egyptian army is sending soldiers to guard it, so I felt it was a bit grim but safe. It was a long tour, but Ahmed introduced me to the shop and bought me an alabaster vase to commemorate my trip to Egypt because he wanted to buy something unique to Luxor. I was able to buy beautiful, beautiful items that could be used as tea utensils at a safe price. In fact, there were museum-like items on display that I had been to since I returned to Cairo, and my friend and I said, "Thank God I bought them." Then continue to Luxor Temple. Actually, we were planning to visit in the morning, but we couldn't go because there was trouble with the balloon and we didn't have time. A normal guide might say, "Sorry we can't go, we have to go ourselves," but Ahmed came with us inside the temple even though it wasn't his fault. I think they're trustworthy guides who take responsibility and deal with problems with integrity.

Flight over the Valley of Kings - We met Ahmed on our arrival in Luxor, he was immediately a very friendly person and attentive to the explanation of the various archaeological sites visited. On the day of our hot air balloon tour he made sure of transport to the starting and finishing site. It was a beautiful and exciting experience, certainly thanks to him.
