Khaled, fantastic guide! - Khaled is the best! You’ll have a choice of guides, and I really recommend Khaled. He’s extremely knowledgeable, speaks great English, shared a lot of information beyond guidebooks. He also has a lot of local information and experience and never rushed us. We got terrific photos and enjoyed our time with him so much, we booked several whole-day tours. They felt like day trips with a friend. Most highly recommended.

Hassle-free trip from Luxor to Aswan, with temples along the way - I needed to go from Luxor to Aswan, and wanted to visit temples along the way. Mohamed organized a private tour for me, so the whole transfer went super smoothly.
The driver Ahmed and the guide Ayman were great. We were able to make all the stops we planned - Edfu temple, Kom Ombo temple and Philae Temple on the island near Aswan.
Each of the three temples is unique and interesting in its own way. Edfu’s structure is more preserved than other ancient structures in Egypt. Kom Ombo os dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek. And Philae has such a magical location on the Nile that pictures cannot describe it.
The trip went at pace, but I had enough time to explore all these wonderful shrines. I would go on another trip with this crew in a heartbeat!
