My friend and I had one day to visit Luxor and chose Marsa Alam Tours. The good price, reviews, and private tour first attracted us, and the service really exceeded expectations. We booked the tour the day before, and they were fantastic with reaching out quickly to coordinate all the details. Both our driver, Amr, and our guide, Mohammed, were very knowledgeable and friendly and worked with us to tailor the experience to what we most wanted to see (Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, and the Alabaster shop were my faves). Mohammed even helped us avoid pushy souvenir shop workers and with haggling when we did find stuff we wanted to avoid the tourist up-charge (although all souvenir shops along the way are extremely overpriced). I would highly recommend them for those looking for a more personalized tour!

Me and My boyfriend bought a trip with this company from Ramadan in Albatros Citadel Sahl Hasheesh to go on 26.03.2021. My boyfriend wanted to go for the whole day which would have costed us 35EUR p/person and includes riding camel, driving a spider car and quad bike, lunch, show, visiting Bedouin village and other entertainment, but I just wanted to go to ride camel, drive a spider car and quad bike into the desert just for three hours for the sunset. So Ramadan offered us this trip for 30EUR (which is only 5EUR less without lunch and all the additional entertainments). So we negotiated to pay 30 USD because, we are not getting so much more what people who goes there for the whole day gets. So on the day of the trip we went to the reception like we have been told, and the guy who picked us up asked us additional 10 USD, because Ramadan didnt tell them about our negotiated price. Our trip started at 3:30PM. Then, instead of 15 mins drive to the location as Ramadan told us, we spend 45 mins in a minivan without air conditioning with other 10 people without masks. We arrived at the location at 4:15 PM and without any complimentary Egyptian tea we were rushed to take a spider car for 10mins to their trashy private beach and then they let us to sit on camel for 2 mins and then rushed to go on a quad bike into the desert. This ride was max 30 mins long and I didnt get to see the sunset on desert. We already sat back in minivan to our hotel before 5:15 PM. On the way back we got stuck by the gate back to Sahl Hasheesh for another 20 mins because driver didnt have permission to enter the region. So this is what experience me and my boyfriend got for 70USD, very dissapointing and not recommended!
