In den Luxor East und West Banks ist ein professioneller Guide enthalten

Wir kamen mit großen Erwartungen nach Luxor, aber derjenige, der diese Erwartungen wahr werden ließ, war unser privater Reiseleiter El Tayeb (auch bekannt als LT). Er ist ein ausgezeichneter Reiseleiter mit großem Wissen und Stolz darauf, in dieser Gegend in Ägypten geboren zu sein. Er vermittelt die Liebe, die er für die Geschichte der Region hat, spricht klar und detailliert. Die Zeit verging schnell, als er die Geschichten hörte, die er erzählte. Wir besuchten die Tempel von Karnak und Luxor und einige Gräber im Tal der Könige sowie das der Hatschepsut. Wir empfehlen El Tayeb sehr, Ihr Führer zu sein, wenn Sie die Gegend von Luxor besuchen.

We had the best week with Memphis Tours, and our expert Egyptologist, Ibrahim, who exceeded our highest expectations. Not only did Ibrahim make the tour educational, but his great sense of humor made it fun, and his English is excellent. We felt that he went above and beyond to show us extras and we were safe under his care. We have taken guided tours in the past, and truly the quality of the guide will determine your experience.

Cannot rate this highly enough. We were extremely fortunate to have Dr. Hassan as our guide for the day. Not only is Dr. Hassan an experienced archeologist and Egyptologist (he pointed out the dig he was currently working on to us at Luxor Temple and only does tours in his free time/holidays) but he also was very good at reading our energy level and ensuring that we got lunch and breaks at intervals that kept our over all interest and energy levels up so we could really appreciate what we were seeing. He had excellent advice of where to buy more authentic, Egyptian made souveniers, and helped us gauge the appropriate amount to haggle as none of us had experience doing so. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide for the day, know that it will be a memory you will treasure and that no one more knowledgeable could be your guide. Our tour manager in Luxor was Abrahim and he was also excellent. We arrived after the (brutal) drive from Aswan pretty tired and Abrahim and Dr. Hasan coordinated to change our private group schedule so that we could do a relaxing evening city tour that day and save the Valley of the Kings, West Bank and East Bank (Luxor and Karnak Temples) for the following day when we were more rested. Abrahim arranged a horse carriage ride through the city in the evening and took us to get fresh sugar cane juice and to try the Egyptian bakery Twinky (both very delicious). As a Luxor local he was able to point out many points of interest and seeing Luxor Temple at night was a great way to be introduced before the more indepth tour the following day. Truly a highlight of our trip to Egypt.
