Ammar was punctual, fluent in English, knowledgeable and was patient waiting while I visited the tombs, as guides weren’t allowed to enter? 👍 The Valley of The Kings and Hatshepsut temple are worth the trek from Cairo! 😊

Ahmed Abdulteif is such a sweet guide, very knowledgeable, and he made the entire experience the best highlight of the entire 12 day trip to Egypt. We loved this itinerary and experience. Valley of the Kings is incredible, and so is the Colossi, but Hatshepsut Temple is just a sight to behold. 10/10 day!!
Received clear explanations from the guide, in addition he took into account what the group itself wants. It has been a very nice day!
