This was one of the highlights of our trip. We loved seeing Valley of the Kings at sunrise and then experiencing it on the ground right after. The valley and the temples were all amazing and a must see. Hatem was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the experience perfect.

Without a doubt one the best experiences my Wife and I have ever had. Our tour company was in contact with us via WhatsApp from the very beginning to confirm our details and our pick up time in the morning. We were picked up at 4am promptly as detailed and made our way to our boat on the Nile where we were offered Coffee to start our early journey over to the West Bank then on our tour bus to the Ballon park where we met our fellow Tourists.
We met our Pilot and was given a thorough safety briefing and after a short while we were airborne with a gorgeous Sunrise and a beautiful view of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Beautiful and serene is an understatement. Our Pilot made sure to point out all the various highlights along the way. Afterwards after our soft landing we met our absolutely wonderful guide Hatem. I cannot stress enough how comfortable and welcomed he made us feel and even more importantly how knowledgeable he was when it came to our tour of the Valley of the King's, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. We felt like we had our own personal guide that would answer any and all questions and knew everything there was to know about the History in the area. This tour hit all of the highlights in Luxor, Hatem our guide along with our driver Islam certainly made it memorable and we definitely book this tour again ourselves and highly recommend it for those considering it.
