The mighty Nile has been providing Egypt with water for millennia. Deserving of its reputation as the world's largest open-air museum, the Nile River Valley contains thousands of monuments at sites such as Luxor and Aswan. Don't miss the city of temples ar Karnak, the dozens of tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the massive rock temples of Abu Simbel or vast and powerful Luxor Temple. Visitors can float by these astounding sites on a felucca boat or cruise ship or catch a train from Cairo.

We did a customized version of this tour, adding also Medinet Habu and Nefertari’s tomb in the Valley of the Queens (planned, though at the end we decided not to visit the tomb as the heat was too much for our baby boy and we felt we had seen enough in the Valley of the Kings). Our guide in Luxor and an apparently highly experienced Egyptologist was Remon - very knowledgeable and professional. We were on a tight itinerary, wishing to see 4 different sites on the West Bank while returning to the hotel by 12:00 for our baby’s nap (just a one-way drive took almost an hour), but Remon put it all together in a way where we managed to see just about everything we had planned, though ultimately we decided to skip Nefertari’s tomb and came back to the hotel a bit early. Of the three sites we saw, I would rank them in the following order in terms of excitement: - Valley of the Kings (tombs of Ramesses V/VI, Seti I, Ramesses III and Ramesses IX, in this order) - Medinet Habu (temple of Ramesses III) - temple of Hatsepshut With the baby boy, what we perhaps needed the most was flexibility, which we got in addition to the sea of knowledge about the sites as well as broader ancient Egyptian history from Remon. Recommended!

Unfortunately I was unable to take the tours booked given my decision to cancel the trip with the Caronivirus concerns. Heshem, who had been most helpful and cooperative during my planning readily refunded my payments and was courteous and positive even when losing business.

Thanks to Walid for setting up our Cairo tour. We had an incredible experience with Sabry! Not only was he an incredibly informative guide, but a fun and skilled photographer as well. He showed us around all of the important sites in Cairo from the Pyramids to the Egyptian Museum. At each stop he explained everything in depth and professionally, and had an answer to every question we had. And for the cherry on top, he knew the best places to take pictures and they came out incredibly well. Not only did he provide us with an incredible experience, but left us with some great photographic souvenirs to show to family and friends at home! Thanks for your help Sabry, couldn’t have asked for a better experience in our short time in Cairo! Ask for Sabry if you need a tour!

My tour with Saber was absolutely amazing he was so knowledgeable and comes from a family of artisans and that history was incredible to hear firsthand. He also knew the best times to visit the sites and I was fortunate to have some of the spaces to myself! He took picture taking just as seriously as I did and went above and beyond to capture some great images of me. He was very passionate about the subject matter and patient and I felt I could ask any question!
