very good experience with Mohammed,very detailed explanation on the site. The temple we visited is not mainstream but I strongly recommend this, you will have unforgettable memories and surprises.
We had a safe and comfortable journey from Luxor to Aswan. He was friendly and polite, english speaking, so easy to communicate. The car was in great condition too.
The tour was very nice. Esna, Edfu and Kom Hombo are must-see stops on the way to Aswan. We had the driver-only option and enjoyed it. Mohamed drove safely and left us all the time we needed for visits.
I highly recommend this trip. Everything was perfect: the guide, the car, the tour organizer—everything was wonderful. We enjoyed our trip from Luxor to Aswan. Thank you, I recommend you.
One of the best trips I've had in Egypt was visiting the Temple of Edfu and the Temple of Esna. The guide was excellent, the driver was clean and drove very calmly. Thanks to Masar Mohamed. I recommend Dr. Mahmoud. The wonderful guide, I recommend you
Our trip from Luxor to Aswan was wonderful. The tour organizer was always attentive to every detail and maintained constant communication with us. Our guide, Dr. Mahmoud El-Geblawy, specializes in Egyptian archaeology. We also visited the Temple of Khnum in Esna.The Temple of Edfu is one of the most magnificent ancient Egyptian temples. Everything about the trip was excellent: the driver, the car was very clean, the food was of a high standard—everything deserves more than 10 stars. Thank you very much. I highly recommend you.
Excellent trip and very well organised. Dr. Mahmoud who was our guide is an expert Egyptologist with a PHD. We learnt so much about the history and heiroglyphics from him. We would highly recommend this trip to everyone who wants to learn from the best. Thank you so much.
I did a day tour from Luxor to Aswan with stops at three temples, and it was a great experience. Our driver, Jasser Hamada, was very friendly, polite, and easy to communicate with. He is a English speaker. He drove safely, kept everything smooth and on time, and made the long ride feel comfortable. BTW, the tour operator replies very quick and take care of their customers. I’m very happy with the tour and highly recommend this tour.

You impressed us with your enjoyable narration of the story of the conflict and balance between 'Sobek' and 'Horus', and your precise explanation of the surgical instruments tablet made us see the temple with different eyes. Thank you for your knowledge and high morals."
