Day Trip From Hurghada - Excellent experience, my wife and I really enjoyed viewing the early history of Egypt. We had a very early start to the day, picked up on time 5am by our private taxi driver who although did not speak much English was very friendly and we enjoyed his company very much. In Luxor we picked up our tour guide Hatem who was very knowledgable & you just new that he was very passionate about what he was telling us. We visited Karnak Temple in Luxor Valley Of The Kings. The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. In all I think it was the knowledge of our guide Hatem that made it a trip to remember

Trip to Luxor from Hurghada - I had the pleasure of visiting Luxor accompanied by Heba from Egypt Gift Tours. She was extremely knowledgeable of all the temples, provided clear explanations, answered all questions and was very patient with all exploring and picture requests! I always felt very safe and would highly recommend contacting Heba at egypt gift Tours for tours in Luxor. Will definitely be back!
