A magical experience - We visited Luxor in a 2 day-itinirary; East Bank the first day (Karnak and Luxor Temple) and the West Bank the second day. Both days we had Sherry as our guide and Samara as driver. We have seen A LOT of guides the last years (USA - Indonesia - Africa - Lapland - …) but this was truly one of our best experiences yet 🤩 Not only does Sherry know everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) about the visited sites; she also knows how to tell “the stories” as if we were children again and listened “in awe” to our favourite teacher … She went above and beyond for us … even discussing better prices at local shops because she had our best interest at heart ❤️ Samara (Ahmed ☺️) was a SUPER driver !! He drove us safely around Luxor (always on time !) and when the visits were finished; there he was … right at the exit with the car air-conditioned and cold water in his hand … We are BIG FANS of Sherry (and Samara) and recommend everybody to trust their (magical) skills ! Thank you for a magnificent time 🤩

New opened tombs in Luxor West Bank - The Dair al Madina and Vally of the Queens tours were fantastic. Tayeb is the perfect english speaking guide. Thanks for the amazing experience in the new opened tombs.

An amazing day full of information and history - Had a great time during this tour, although a bit exhausting to see everything on a single day, was worth every penny. Our guide, Sherry was absolutely amazing, was very knowledgeable and informative altogether, provided detailed information, interesting historical facts about all the sites and places visited. Kept us nicely on a reasonable schedule, there was no rush at all, had time to take tons of pictures and embrace the atmosphere of every temple and monument. Took us to see how papyrus scrolls were and are made, an unexpected but welcome addition to the tour. Very satisfied with Sherry and the Magic Carpet Travel team, took great care of us, highly recommended.

Best guide and driver I've ever had - Tour started in Luxor and also included Aswan and onto Abu Simbel for a total of 5 days. Rabi was Egyptologist guide, and Mahmoud was driver. Both were excellent. My family and I learned so much from Rabi, and Mahmoud was always reliable. Magic Carpet worked with us on what we wanted to see and then Rabi delivered making sure that everything we visited was unique. I can't say enough positive things about them.

Fantastic days in Luxor - We had fantastic days. Rabi, our Egyptologist tour guide, showed us all the special places in Luxor. We have already seen a lot of the world, but this was very impressive. Rabi told us the history in a great way and knew where to visit the sights at the right times when it was quieter. We felt safe every moment. Mohamed was our private driver. Highly recommended so you can see everything quickly. We will definitely book with Magic Carpet again next year!

It must be one of the bucket list to travel in Egypt . Magic Carpet Travel agency is recommended! - Excellent tour with Rabie Egyptologist and Mohamed driver of Magic Carpet Travel in Luxor. Jan 2024 • Friends Trip was incredible! Had a great time learning about the fantastic ancient Egypt history and culture, and seeing the Valley of King, valley of Queen, the Karnak Temple, the Luxor Temple .We are shocked, can’t imagine how the ancient Egyptians 4000 years agin they could decorated the pyramids and temples with brightly painted sculptural reliefs and large frescoes or mythical animals. Rabie who was our tour guide was knowledgeable, fantastic and was diligent in making it an informative and enjoyable day. Would recommend. Actually Right now it is real safe to travel in Egypt. We are here two weeks run all over the country Aswan Luxor Hurghada Cairo Alexandra Port said and black white desert, along all the way every one is nice and friendly to the tours.

Educational and comfortable history experience - My wife and I had two fantastic days of tours with Egyptologist Ahmed Rabie and our driver Karam. They helped us see and learn about the Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, valley of the kings, Hatshepsut memorial temple and the tombs of the nobles. Plus Ahmed had plenty of knowledge about all these sites and gave excellent local restaurant recommendations. We felt super safe and comfortable the whole trip, and were in awe of the rich and fascinating history kept alive here in Luxor. 7/5 stars!

Magic Carpet Travel- Amazing Guide Rania! - Magic Carpet Travel really knocked it out of the park on every level— we booked their services for a private car and guide for our first trip to Egypt. We used their services in Cairo/Giza/Saqqara/Dashur/Mephis and then in Luxor/ Aswan/ Abu Simbel. We were also on the Nour El Nil cruise in the middle of this 12 day trip. 7 days were organized by Magic Carpet Travel. Flawless pick up, communication, attentive service, excellent drivers and comfortable cars, and we feel they gave us reasonable prices having compared notes with some other travelers using other agencies. I’ve reviewed the first leg with Theresa which was terrific, and this is a review of the absolutely sensational guide Rania, who has two master degrees in hieroglyphics and Ancient Greek. Our visits to Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of the Kings, the Colossi of Memnon, and Habu Temple would not have been the same without the GENIUS guide Rania. Every description was riveting, we learned so much, and fell in love with each site. She is fluent in English, German, and Arabic, and maybe other languages— her depth of knowledge was impressive and immediately manifested when she spoke about any site or object. We could not have known what to look for without an Egyptologist pointing out all the major aspects of interest— from the hieroglyphs to the graffiti from historical times. Luxor is mind blowing, the size, the scale, the brilliance of the temples and tombs. I also want to note that it was extremely safe with multiple bag checks at every site and traffic checks on the road. We never felt unsafe, even walking in the streets alone at night to Luxor Museum and Mummification Museum. We also had a great time with our guide Sammy to Abu Simbel and our drivers in every location were superb drivers. Sammy and Rania both walk through all the things to look for with postcards/prints in advance so you can go inside the tombs and temples and know what to look for (guides are not often allowed inside the sites to help reduce wear/moisture/bacteria in the tombs). They were never late and drove really well. If you want to visit Egypt this is a great time. At peak season, Luxor temples attract 40,000+ people a day. I’ve uploaded some photos showing the crowds because many tourists from other countries (China/France/Italy/ Spain) were there in droves. I highly recommend going now. The whole trip was a dream! Thank you, Magic Carpet Travel!

Wonderful experience - The entire day was one truly memorable experience, not only because of thewoners people can see but also because of our super professional and enthusiastic guide, Rania. We enjoyed every moment of the tour and recommend Magic Carpet Travel to all who are interested in the history of Ancient Egypt. 10/10 - Thank you for everything.

Our guide Hamdy made Egyptian history " life!" - Our guide Hamdy showed us the Karnak Temple and the Westbank. He is a top professional guide. Great knowledge of Egyptian history, combined with humor and a great general interest in " people". Never a dull moment Always attentive to the need of the family. From places of shade for Ma, to repeating the story when we did not listen well. We absolutely can recommend Magic Carpet Travel as they deliver 100 % what they promise!
