Egypt is rich in History. And if you love History, Luxor is a destination you can't miss. Our excellent guide was Ramadan. He was very fluent in our language, which is Italian, and more over took his time to explain everything we wanted to know, and then some more. He told us in great detail about the Temple of Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut, guiding us through historical information and many curiosities. He let us free to look around and take our time, with no rush. He also brought us to a small, local restaurant were the food was pretty good, and then to a local alabaster artisan shop to do shopping. The experience was very pleasant and we'll go back for sure to learn something more about Luxor and the History of Egypt.
Thank you so much Matteo , I appreciate that.
This was our third trip to Egypt. This time we liked to see the Valley of the Queens and the Tombs of the Nobels. This was a quick decision on our part, and we were very lucky that Ramadan could squeeze us in, into his tight schedule. First he recommended a restaurant were we had delicious food. Then we went to the two places of interest, we had not visited yet. Ramadan took his time to explain everything. The entire visits were very informativ, actually more than we expected. Thanks very much for the GREAT job, Ramadan. For our next trip we will definitely ask you again to be our guide. The next trip will be Cairo, the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. Therefore, see you soon, Ramadan, and thanks for everything.
