Magnificent Egypt - My name is Warren I just want to express my utter content of having a life time trip in one of the most fabulous countries on the planet earth ..Egypt! In April 2024 Me and my wife and daughter went to magnificent places and breath taking monuments starting from Cairo and Giza to Hurghada and the red sea where also we had a great opportunity to spend a day in Luxor ,it was surreal and we couldn’t believe our eyes of how great especially that city used to be for thousands of years .We were lucky to find Love Egypt Tours on your distinguished website to help us get the most of our short trip and how professional are they in making us cover the best of that city in that short span of time.Our van and driver Ahmed were so great and safe in such long and a bit scary road from Hurghada to Luxor and back ,we never felt safer and we were taken care of by Ahmed who was very kind and caring to my family.Upon arrival to Luxor we were met by fabulous Abdo ,who was our tour guide for the day and he shared with us his passion and knowledge about his country and city.Abdol took us to different places and he managed to give us the best of his 25 years experience in a place such as the Valley of the Kings where the number of choices of tombs are mind blowing in such a short time and very warm weather one could find it hard to make up his mind but Abdul knew it all and he planned the best for us with a great consideration of saving our energy and money regards the optional tickets of some tombs ,let alone giving us a great info about the well done and colored figures of the Ancient Egyptian Spells and books .Then we went to The queen Hatshputt temple in the mountain beyond the valley of the kings .Then before we leave the west we stopped by the 2 Colossi of Memnon as it was already the Lunch time ,Abdul planned an Authentic and Romantic lunch in the Nile ,in the same Boat we used to cross to the east side for the last place to enjoy in Luxor which was unbelievable ,Karnak Temples ,we could stay and wander our way in this huge place which is also very distracting for hours without finishing it ,but we were luck that our professional and outstanding Abdul made it fun ,easy and deeply educational .We truly appreciate the organizational skills of Love Egypt tours and we recommend it for also its reasonable prices.Thanks to Ahmed and Abdul for taking care of us and treating us as family ,Best wishes .

Overwhelming sights of Luxor - On the recommendation of our guide Adbul, we departed early on our 3 day tour. The Valley of the Kings was our first stop. Be prepared to be dazzled by the sheer brightness of the area . Abdul had previously purchased all our tickets , so no queuing. 3 tombs can be viewed on one ticket. As Howard Carter said , "we saw wonderful things".Abdul was very informative about all the wall depictions. Breathtaking. We spent around 2 hours there before departing for Deir El Bahri to view Queen Hatshepsut s temple. What an amazing structure, hewn out of the mountain! After an exhausting but marvellous morning, a well deserved stop was made for lunch ,over looking the Collossi of Memnon. So ended Day 1.
On anticipation of more wonders, day 2 began with a visit to the Ramesseum to see the fallen statue of Ramesses named by the poet Shelley as Ozymandias. Another colossal marvel. Next , on to a very recently opened site, the Tombs of the Scribes , a place never before mentioned so all the more exciting. Abdul accompanied by the custodians of these tombs showed us inside these much smaller intimate tombs, depicting more family life than the great royal ones. The final visit of the day took us to Medinet Habu, the mortuary temple of Rameses 111. Talk about megalomania. Extremely elaborate carvings adorned all the walls. Again Abdul was a mine of information. Another tasty lunch followed before a cool a/ c drive back to the East Bank.
This was where our third day was devoted to. The east bank is where to find the huge temples. Our guide took us early again to enjoy Karnak Temple at its quietest. What a spectacle. This place is overwhelming! Pylon after pylon, statue after statue. It stretched for miles. Our next stop was Luxor Temple . Beautiful colonnades and courts , more open and airy, right at the river. The River Nile itself was the final part of our 3 day tour. A gentle peaceful sail on a felucca, drifting past the everyday life of todays Luxor. A great tour. Thank you LOVE EGYPT TOURS.

4 days of excursions. - We had a really early start with the balloon trip but we're trying to pack in as much as possible. Love Egypt Tours organised the tickets with fantastic guide Abdul so that we saw 3 tombs in the valley of the kings and entry to Hatshepsut temple. He just knew so much and made it very enjoyable. We went for some lunch (great food) near the Colossi of Memnon. After lunch we went to take a closer look around the Colossi. Then dropped back at the hotel.

Check on Zacharias if you speak Spanish and want a private tour Luxor-Aswan - We did a three people private tour from Luxor to Aswan with Zacharias travelling inside the excellent Nile Premium cruise. Zacharias is the perfect companion for such a tour: he speaks excellent Spanish, shows sound knowledge of the main attractions of the tour but also of important daily and history topics...but most of all, he is kind, extremely polite and at the same time friendly, trustworthy and great help if you are in trouble (i.e. Egyptian belly sickness). I cannot recommend enough him as a guide for a private tour in that area

Fascinating day at Karnak and Luxor Temple - We had an amazing day at Karnak and Luxor temples. Our guide Dr Abdul was incredibly knowledgeable about the temples and took the time to explain us in great detail. He answered all our questions, made our tour extremely interesting and gave us plenty of time to complete our visit and take photos. Highly recommend.
