We had a wonderful tour With Noha! She was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. She suggested that we visit some sites which we had not heard about when booking, and these added greatly to our experience. We enjoyed every minute. The driver was also good and the vehicle was very clean and nice. We would like to have Noha as a guide if we return again to Egypt some day.
A worthwhile trip if you have the time

Mohammed the guide and the driver Ahmed were very nice. Mohammed was well educated on the history of the places we visited. The highlight would have been the valley of the queens but unfortunately, the main tomb of Nefertiti is closed for maintenance. Lunch was nice and enjoyable and afterwards they dropped us back to our hotel.
A great learning...

The Ramesseum was such a fascinating site. The towering statue of Ramses II really impressed me. It’s incredible to think of how grand the mortuary temple once was, and the ruins tell such a rich story.
Excellent trip to queens valley
