We spent a very nice day with omar visiting the temples and the aisle of kings around luxor. He gave us a lot of information and the sites were fantastic. Everything was well organized.
Everything was perfect! Omar is a real gentleman with perfect English, so I definitely recommend this tour. Also, we were advised to start the tour early in the morning at it was very wise decision, we were able to avoid huge crowds of tourists. Regarding Luxor temples, all I want to say that it definitely worth seeing, unbelievable experience! Thanks once again to Omar for smooth and calm tour!
