Did this trip together with a group of poles. We were only 3 three english speaking people on the bus. We had the privilege of having almost like a private guide for us three - Abdu - who was great, btw. Be prepared for a long trip , early 5 a.m., pick up, after 10 pm return, but that is part of deal so nothing to complain. The tour had a promising start with a nice tour around Karnack temple. Then it all started to slide badly , instead of visiting the other main attractions in Luxor, they will fill in the time with a cruise on the Nile (10-15$) which is alright but should not be prioritized against the main attraction. Lunch offered is within local standards. Not great, not terrible. Then, instead of going to the ruins, they will take you to a sculpture studio and souvenir shops ( tour organiser's friends, I suppose), and this means you will be left with less than 90 minutes to see Hatshepshut and Valley of the kings. We totaly missed Luxor city temple and Collosi of Memnon. Expect to be rushed a lot and to hardly a true ancient Egypt experience. Our English guide Abdu was great , good knowledge and very keen to explain the things but it's not this fault as he is not the organiser who created this stupid schedule. This tour is more for East European people who generally have less interest in the Antient Egypt and more to thick the box on their checklist and take a few photos in 5 minutes. I strongly recommend opting for a more private tour or rent a car and do it at your own pace.

Itinerary
Take a day tour from Hurghada to see some of Egypt's finest historic sites in the Luxor Valley. Benefit from complimentary pickup and drop-off and the services of an Egyptologist guide as you explore some of the most important landmarks of Ancient Egypt. After pickup from your hotel, drive to Luxor to visit the most famous monuments in Egypt, including the Temple of Karnak. Relax over lunch at a local restaurant, then board a typical Felucca boat to cross the Nile to the City of the Dead (optional). See the impressive Colossi of Memnon, the last remnants of the Temple of Amenophis III. Be enthralled by the architecture of the Valley of the Kings, and visit the temple of Hatshepsut, one of the female rulers of Ancient Egypt.
Enjoy exploring the great West bank attractions. Start with a visit to the famous Valley of the Kings, There are 63 tombs within the valley, The Royal tombs are decorated with Egyptian mythology which gives rise to the beliefs of the period, There are many known kings buried in the valley but of course the most famous being King Tutankhamun, listen well to your expert tour guide who will inform you by details the history of the amazing tombs there
The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut is a mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. the temple is unique because it was designed like classical architecture. Note the lengthy, colonnaded terrace some of which are 97 ft high, pylons, courts, and hypostyle hall. Inside you'll see the sun court, chapel and sanctuary. Temple reliefs depict the tale of the divine birth of Hatshepsut and trade expeditions to the Land of Punt
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which stand at the front of the ruined Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the largest temple in the Thebes Necropolis
Take a break to refresh yourself with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Next, visit the East Banks of the Nile, aboard a ferry boat crossing for 5 minutes from West to East Bank of Luxor. The pristine temple complex of Temple of Karnak is your first destination in the East Valley. At the end of your tour, you will be transferred back to your accommodation in Hurghada.

Very nice insight in the Egyptian culture and very beautiful sightings. If you're not used to heat, you should consider doing this trip in the colder months... Sometimes you get approached by strangers to ask you to buy their stuff and that can be a little annoying, overall enjoyed every moment of it.
Great info by Khaled! Beautyfull places! Very interesting in depth information! Would recommend this guide when u visit Luxor!
Khaled made our experience! He is very kind and knowledgeable about everything ancient Egyptian. He has two masters in Egyptology, and his explanations really enhanced our experience of this magical civilization.
Khalid was absolutely amazing, his overview of the entire trip, and his knowledge of ancient Egypt was mesmerizing. If you are in Luxor or Aswan, Khalid is your man.
Khaled was an amazing tour guide, very helpful and knowledgeable. He made the group feel comfortable and informed about Egyptian history. He is a great guy and helped us get discounts at different shops. I would recommend having him as your guide!
Amazing views, great private guide, just be sure to have saved plenty as the some of the special sites will be worth it, thank you Khaled!!
