Highlights
  • Temple of Karnak - When visiting Karnak, you are paying a visit to the heart of Egypt during the New Kingdom. This huge temple complex was the center of the ancient faith while power was concentrated at Thebes (modern day Luxor) and its significance is reflected in its enormous size. In addition to its religious significance, it also served as a treasury, administrative center, and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs. It is considered as the largest temple complex ever constructed anywhere in the world.
    It developed over a period of 1500 years, added to by generation after generation of pharaohs and resulting in a collection of temples, sanctuaries, pylons, and other decorations that is unparalleled throughout Egypt.

  • Luxor Temple - This temple might be the greatest testament to why Luxor has earned its nickname, \

Awesome experience - We did this the day after the West Bank, both tours with Memphis and the same guide and driver. Really looked after us and tailored the tour to what we wanted. Our guide Beshoy was very experienced and knowledgable while allowing us plenty of free time to just enjoy the experience too. Door to door transport in a comfortable car felt very safe. Karnak and Luxor temples of course are a must if you are here and completely live up to expectations. A lot has been reconstructed using all the original material that was buried and done in a very sympathetic way, to show the full awe of the locations without looking like a remodel. Breathtaking really. Memphis tours as always are brilliant to use and would very much recommend them and their guides

Best guide - Hany, our guide for 4 days as we cruised down the Nile, provided excellent insight into our ability to understand the history behind the building of these amazing temples and tombs. We were able to put into a more relatable context the ways of being and doing in ancient Egypt because his delivery of so much information was simplistic and clear. The scope of all that we saw was a bit daunting- so much to see! Hany’s expertise and authoritative command of Egyptology is remarkable. But, perhaps more important for 2 ladies traveling alone was his sincerity and diligence in keeping us safe and advising us on unwritten rules, regulations and customs. He was simply delightful to be with, a very warm and kind man who deserves mountains of praise and heartfelt appreciation for a job so very well done. As guides go, he has to be considered one of the best, so please- do ask that he is assigned to your tour. You won’t regret it, I promise you. Thank you, Hany for making our journey so meaningful. We wish you only happiness and joy in your future. Be well!

We also loved our time with Hany on the Luxor, Aswan river Nile tour. We learned so much about Egypt. We highly recommend Memphis to everyone.

Our Niles cruise to different towns and all the temple tours would not have been complete with Mr. Hani The tour in general was very organized and informative.

Jimmy Omar is a rock star - Jimmy Omar at @memphis.tours.Egypt is simply the best Egyptologist in all of Egypt. He is smart, amusing and a pleasure to travel with. His knowledge of ancient Egypt and other cultures is extensive and he shares the information in a way that kept even our young people (21 ish) interested. We will always appreciate his patience with our kids and his passion for ensuring we had a tremendous experience. I highly recommend Jimmy Omar and Memphis Tours.

East and West bank of Luxor tour with Shaima Beegh - Memphis tours - Our tour guide Ms Shaima Beegh was very good and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour and had a great time. She took great care of us not only during the tour but also for the hotel and dinner arrangements as part of Memphis tours. I would give her 5 tars rating and would recommend her to other tourists as well.
