Outstanding tour with an engaging and most knowledgeable guide (Mohamed Ali). Covid concerns are keeping tourists from traveling right now so, if you are vaxed and use common sense precautions you have the sites virtually to yourself.

The guide Mustafa Ragab is friendly and good. He has a lot of knowledge about everything around. We did Aswan, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Luxor with him. Whenever we asked a question, about anything, he knew the answer.
