It was a great tour. We also enjoyed the pleasant guide of Mohammed. His English and Spanish was good, and we learned a lot from his knowledge of the history Egypt . We recommend Mohammed as guide. The local food was also delicious.

Itinerary
Luxor Temple, which is dedicated to the Theben Triad of Amun-Ra, Mut and Khonsu. There you will see the granite statues of Ramses the Great. These ancient temples are a must-see for Luxor travelers.
The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’
.The tomb of Ramses IV (KV 2) in the Valley of the Kings is rather different than most other tombs built here. This tomb is by far the most spectacular of the other tombs you will see. The hieroglyphics on the wall depict scenes from the Litany of Ra, Book of the Dead, Book of Caverns, the Book of the Heavens, Book of Amduat, and the Book of the Night. The blue and white colors on the walls inside the burial chamber are very vibrant and you can see the king's sarcophagus made of rose-colored granite. There is also a beautiful scene of goddess Nut on the ceiling, where she is depicted swallowing the sun, and it traveling through her stomach, for Nut to give birth to it. The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.
.In Egyptian mythology, Ptah is the demiurge of Memphis, god of craftsmen and architects. In the or simply in its falcon form of the new deity, began to be placed in tombs to accompany and protect the dead on their journey to the West of Luxor .Tomb 8, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial place of the Pharaoh Merneptah and is the model of royal tombs Merneptah was a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret.the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. He did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb and instead built the entire tomb on a single axis. Also, for the first time, the entrance was made considerably wider than earlier tombs .
After visiting the tombs you will be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as Pharaoh. This queen was an ancestor of King Tutankhamun and belonged to the same dynasty. Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as Pharaoh .
The Colossi of Memnon, the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, which date back to the era of King Amenhotep III.
Karnak Temple , you visit what is considered to be one of the world's greatest architectural masterpieces, namely the complex of Karnak Temples on the East Bank of Luxor. Karnak is a complex of temples built in different reigns, starting with the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 gigantic columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and papyrus designs, the Granite Scarbeus of Amenophis III and the Sacred Lake. Karnak beats every other pharaonic monument: it is simply one of the most beautiful ancient monuments in Egypt.
King Tut Entrance fees to the tomb of Tutankhamun (700.00 EGP) (optional), the most famous king in the world. This young king from the New Kingdom was around 10 years old when he ascended the throne and died when he was only 19.

In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in central Luxor or harbor by an air-conditioned vehicle for a full guided trip of about 8 hours. First you will be transported to the Necropolis of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor travelers. There you visit four royal tombs, including the Tomb of Ramses lV the Tomb of Ramses lll, the Tomb of Merenptah .Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor.
Avenue of Shoinxes ,Spectacular avenue stretched from Luxor to Karnak, a distance of 3 kms. Today, its only a few hundred metres long but its very impressive. This avenue used to conect the Karnak templo and the Luxor templo. A six miles avenue with sphinxes in both sides of it.

By far my favourite tour company that I used in Egypt. Thank you Mohamed for coordinating this tour and offering other tours to us which we also signed up for, such as a balloon ride over Luxor. Mohamed also arranged a ride for my one daughter and her friend to the airport as they had to leave a few days early. Mohamed made it all happen and was always kind and prompt to respond via what's app....Thank you Mohamed. A full day of learning and experiencing Egypt's ancient sites around Luxor. We had the most wonderful tour guide, Ali. Ali is a true teacher; kind, calm and an all around amazing person. His knowledge and passion was evident, and shone through to us, brightening our day and even in teaching my daughter some hieroglyphics. We are so appreciative. You helped make our experience in Luxor amazing and authentic. Our driver was also very professional and we always felt safe. I would definitely recommend this this company for tours. One thing to point out is that they also have a stop to an alabaster factory and papyrus company to show you how products are made, but also with the intent to buy something. I told them I already experienced the papyrus company in Cairo so we did not stop. The alabaster factory is expensive so be prepared but I bought a few beautiful pieces after talking them down in price. If you do not want to go there just tell them no and they will take it off the trip.
Egypt is a wonderful country, its people, its culture, its climate, its ancestral history and the professionalism of Mohamed Tiger, our guide.
It was part of our wedding trip and it was wonderful. Mohamed, as a guide and as a person, is exceptional. We are very much looking forward to repeating, and we will certainly do so with Mohamed. We are very happy and have recommended it several times.
SPECTACULAR, the tour is magnificent and the guide my corduro Mohamed does it even much better, he speaks perfect Spanish and tells the story of each place very fluid, pay attention to what he tells as he will still give you enough time for photographs, advises you what to do so that the sellers do not rip you off, and helps you make money change (Euro or Dollar to EGP) without any scam... Pay for the full package as it saves you time and lines at the ticket booths to pay for tickets... The temples of Karnak and Luxor at night are uffffff a visual spectacle. Lunch is buffet type and you can pay in egp or euro or dollar without inconvenience. I RECOMMEND...
Highly recommended excellent a very father trip and very good attention very good escursion and excellent guide the attention and explanations of history very good and understandable
Mohammed's excellent treatment made our cruise experience even more special. His friendliness and attention to detail, along with the impeccable organization of the trip, ensured that we enjoyed every moment on board. Undoubtedly an exceptional service that left a very positive impression!!!
We took the tour with Mohamed, we were able to tour the temples, we really liked the explanations he gave us. Thanks for everything
We made this tour with Egypt Trips and they were fantastic, they cared about us at all times and gave us all the fundamental information to tour with fresh history in mind. I totally recommend it as they were also willing to give us relevant information about the city and took us to Top-rated places with enough time to take pictures. Very good experience.
Mohamed is a Very Pro Guide explained to me in great detail the history of each of the temples and besides being a friendly and answering all my questions, the tour was relaxed without rush
Great visit! Good Guide, interested in explaining each place of interest! Constant sense of security. I recommend!
During our visit to Luxor, we toured with the guide Mohammed. It was a spectacular experience, service and attention 10/10. We learned about the history of each place, the itinerary was very well planned and we had the opportunity to visit each place (Hatshepsut Temple, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, Limestone and Perfume Fabrica). If you are going to visit Luxor, I recommend this agency, our experience was very positive.
Mohamed's Luxor Guide made our visit spectacular. He shared many historical details and suggested tombs to visit in the Valley of the Kings. Their recommendations were super accurate and allowed us to visit the valley of the kings with very few tourists. I would recommend guided tours with Mohamed to anyone visiting Luxor, it is like visiting him with a friend in Egypt.
We went on a cruise along the Nile and in Luxor Mohamed took us as a guide through east and west to the temples of Karnak and Luxor, it was spectacular, excellent service, perfect Spanish and very friendly, we learned a lot
An unforgettable experience, I was with the guide Mohamed the whole time, he was super fun and I had an incredible time, he knows a lot and speaks Spanish perfectly, the truth is that everything was great and exceeding all my expectations, a lot of fun and a lot of culture, excellent service
Mohamed Hagag was an exceptional guide highly recommended and very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed all the excursions we did with him
We start from Aswan with Mohamed Tiger until the end of the Nile tour. Great person, warm and always ready at all times. Clear and detailed explanations. I recommend doing the hot air balloon ride. AMAZING !!!
The trip exceeded our expectations, beautiful places with an excellent guide, we have seen temples, tombs, incredible architecture, with stories that are amazing, I recommend it!
The guide is wonderful! Everything coordinated, without problems. The beautiful excursions. You can't miss it! The unforgettable balloon ride! It's worth it :)
The experience was wonderful, Mohamed made us feel at home, very attentive and very knowledgeable! Luxor was wonderful with his company, we learned a lot and took many interesting photos! 😊👏🌅
Mohamed's guide during our visit to the monuments, temples and valley of the kings of Luxor was impeccable, 100% recommended. He explains in Spanish with great clarity the entire history of the places visited, he is very well-disposed and friendly in every way.
