Waleed is just the nicest guy and he cared about everything. I contacted him via hus I stagram, because a friend in Luxembourg recommended him.
We got picked up at our hotel in Soma Bay, Safaga at 05:45 just as planned and we had a private driver who took us to Luxor (240KM) in about two and a half hours.
We met Waleed, our guide, at the entrance of the Karnak temple, he had already bought our tickets and then he showed us round.
He had plenty of interesting information and explained all the ancient egyptian gods with their symbols and what they stand for and showed us which kings build the different parts of the temple.
After that we visited the vakley of the kings which was very impressive. After that we did the memnon status and then we had lunch.
Lunch was included in out price. Although it was a very crowdy place with a lot of tourists, we got a table after 5 minutes and food was delicious.
Then we stopped by a local shop where they craft things out of different stones. You can buy something, but they don‘t insist so no worries. I still bought a nice vase out of Alabaster. Very stylish.
Ladt but not least we visited the Hatshepsut temple and then we were driven back to our hotel. We were two persons and the price was more than fair.
If you wanna visut Luxor, do it with Waleed, you won‘t be dissppointed!
