Great day at Luxor and Karnak - thank you Sawsan!! - We had an outstanding experience with Sawsan at Karnak and Luxor Temple. From the moment we were picked us up at our hostel, cold water and juice already waiting in the van, it was clear this was going to be a well-organized day.
What sets Sawsan apart is the quality of her knowledge. She doesn't stop at the surface-level facts you can find in any guidebook. She goes a level deeper, sharing context and details that made the temples genuinely come alive. Her passion for Egyptian history is real and infectious.
She also had a wonderful instinct for reading the group, knowing when to let a moment breathe, noticing when we wanted a photo, and never rushing us through something.
Logistics were seamless, the pacing was perfect, and we left feeling like we'd actually understood what we'd seen. A big thanks to Sawsan🙏 We highly recommend the tour!

Perfect Afternoon Tour for Karnak & Luxor Temple Sunset - I booked this private tour for the East Bank and had a fantastic experience.
The Driver: My driver, Yasser, was excellent. He picked me up from my hotel around 2:00 PM. A huge plus was that I could communicate with him via WhatsApp at any time, which made coordinating pickups from the busy parking lots very easy.
The Car: The vehicle was a Chery Tiggo 8, which was spacious, modern, and very comfortable for the transfers between temples.
The Itinerary:
1. Karnak Temple: We went here first. Since the complex is massive, I spent about 2 hours exploring. Yasser waited patiently in the parking lot.
2. Luxor Temple: We arrived late in the afternoon, which was perfect timing. I was able to see the temple during the "golden hour" sunset and stayed until the lights came on to see the night view. I spent about an hour here.
Yasser got me back to my hotel safely just before 6:00 PM. I highly recommend asking for afternoon start time to catch the sunset at Luxor Temple!

Amazing! - We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple with our guide, Sawsan. She took the time to explain the significance of the temples, the symbolism behind the carvings, and the fascinating stories of the pharaohs. We learned so much while still feeling relaxed and never rushed. She also took many beautiful photos for us.

Special 5th anniversary celebration - Highly recommend this experience. It was tailored to us and it was the perfect amount of time to not be overwhelming or tiring. Our driver Amr was prompt on pick ups and drop offs, and drove safely. He even had a cold Fanta waiting for us after the first temple! That was a kind and unexpected surprise. Our guide Susan was delightful. She is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She took all of our questions with grace and explained what we were seeing very well. She took the time to make sure we had great photos at the sites as well! Finally, we were greeted with a surprise for our 5th wedding anniversary. That was completely unexpected and so thoughtful. Everyone in the company was telling us happy annniversary and it made us feel so special. Highly recommend this company. Thank you!!

Fantastic Tour!! - I had a fantastic private tour of Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, with Sawsan as my guide and Nasser as our driver. Everything was very well organized from start to finish including tickets.
Mustafa, the coordinator, was highly responsive and communicative beforehand, making the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day, Nasser was punctual, professional, and ensured a smooth, comfortable ride throughout.
Sawsan was an excellent guide with thorough knowledge of the sites . She explained the history in a clear and engaging way and was patient, flexible, and attentive to my interests. I never felt rushed, and she was happy to adjust the pace and focus where my curiosity led.
They also went above and beyond by showing me around part of downtown Luxor and recommending great places for dinner afterward, which I really appreciated.
Overall, excellent service, great communication, and a genuinely enjoyable experience with a constant willingness to accommodate and help. I would highly recommend this team to anyone visiting Luxor - you’ll be in very good hands.

Luxor Temple is beautiful... - Luxor Temple is beautiful at night, just gives a new feel to the experience. We did the 3:30pm option and we had a bit of traffic, so we were rushed a bit at the Karnak Temple as they close at 6pm.
