Luxor Private Tour

We spend 3 days with Ashraf and the Team of Luxor Private Tours. The program we requested (Valley of Kings, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Habu Temple, Hot air balloon) was executed efficiently and timely. The local guides Rama and Abdul were wonderful. They were very kind, answered all ours questions and did not hesitate to help us with any problems that occurred. Rama walked with us through Karnak Temple in the morning which is a very impressive structure and informed us of its history and the structures which were added by multiple Pharaohs at the time. She also showed used the traces the Greeks and the Christians left. We highly recommend doing Karnak in the morning and visiting Luxor temple in the evening. The light at Luxor temple in the early evening is amazing and with a guide you truly see the stories behind the ancient hieroglyphs on the wall.

The next day in the morning we visited the Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Habu Temple with Abdul who is an Egyptologist, who has worked in the valley of the Kings himself at excavation sites. We visited three Tombs and one that was especially beautiful because instead of simply showing the procession of the dead it showed the imagination of what the afterword would be like. The Tombs retain their original colouring a fascinating process that our guide explained to use in detail. At the Temple of Hatshepsut, we were told the story why her Temple and why her likeness was destroyed by her successor and shown the only intact image of her.

We highly recommend taking a private tour with Rama and Abdul as they are able to explain to you the stories and history of each place in great detail so you can really appreciate the ancient wonders you are seeing.The last day we did a Hot Air Ballon ride during sunrise, which was absolutely beautiful. We were picked pt at our hotel at 4am and transported in time for the sunrise to the starting site. Overall, we spent a very nice 3 days with the team of Luxor Private Tours and can highly recommand this company.
