Ragab was extremely kind and shared a wealth of fascinating information with us. The private air-conditioned transport ensured we reached the attractions ahead of the large tourist buses. Our driver, who picked us up at the hotel at 2:55 a.m. for the trip to Luxor, was excellent. The windows with blackout curtains helped shield us from the heat, and we were provided with fresh water throughout the journey. One suggestion: it would be helpful to have bed pillows (with pillowcases) in the vehicle so you can catch a little sleep on the way.

Starting from Marsa Alam made the trip to Luxor a bit longer, but we knew that in advance. Our driver was very kind, checking in frequently to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. In Luxor, our guide Aziz welcomed us at the Karnak Temple with a warm smile, and from that moment our day began on a high note. We gained a wealth of knowledge about ancient Egyptian life, their customs, and culture, with all our questions answered thoroughly. We also opted for the Nile boat tour, which was unforgettable. Later, we explored the Valley of the Kings, including the open tombs—an absolute must-see in Luxor! A brief stop to see traditional sculptors and the Temple of Hatshepsut completed our trip before returning to the hotel. We would gladly book this tour again. Huge thanks to Aziz for making this day truly special!
