    Highly professional and very friendly!
    We had a great time! I first reached out to the company through WhatsApp, while I was planning our trip to Egypt. Shaimaa was very nice and helped me to book all our tours of Upper Egypt, as well as transportation to and from the airport. Then, when we got to Luxor, they assigned us Ahmed Azis as our guide and he made sure we had a fantastic time. Ahmed was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and our tour would not have been the same without him. Not only he explained a lot of the history and mythology of Ancient Egypt, but also helped us find good places to eat and with anything else we needed. Also, our driver was very professional, chivalrous and careful. He made sure the car stayed clean and comfortable for us at all times. I highly recommend Magic Carpet!

    Very good agency in Luxor
    The travel company is very well organised and the staff is super friendly and helpful. We have arranged the Hot balloons tour, trip to dendera and car transfer from Abu Simbel to Aswan + Marsa Alam to Luxor. Service has been impeccable, drivers/guides always on time and super friendly and helpful! Special thanks to Ahmed that took us around southern Egypt. Highly recommended company and if I will be back in Luxor, I will definitely book tours and guided visits with them! Thank you very much!

    Amazing tour with Ghada Hagagy!
    Our tour with Ghada was amazing!! She's a great guide, told us so much interesting information, and was very attentive to our opinions and thoughts. She was happy to answer any and all questions we had during the tour, and even encouraged us to take pictures in the tombs and show them to her if we wanted further info. We were worried when going to Luxor because we hadn't booked a tour in advance, as we wanted to skip some of the "usual" sights and recommendations on what to see instead. Luckily, Magic Carpet worked from the lobby of our hotel (Nefertiti Hotel) and helped us tailor-make a custom tour for the very next morning, for a great price! Even more importantly, they gave us very honest and direct advice on what we should see and what was unnecessary. Ghada and her driver picked us up in a very nice van at 5.45 the next morning and showed us around Karnak Temple, per our request. She then dropped us back at our hotel as we didn't want to miss the breakfast, and picked us up an hour later to go the the West Bank. This tour (and Ghada) were awesome and we're so happy we booked it!

    Highly Recommended... Best tour guide in Luxor
    I cannot speak highly enough about my guided tour exploring Dendora and Kaynak. My guide Tayeb was not just a warm, friendly, kind person, but was very professional too. I don't feel my experience would never have been as magical with any other guide. Tayeb listened to my needs and wants throughout the day, and came up with the perfect way to achieve just that. He also added helpful suggestions that I would not have considered. In addition he could read the heiroglyths, which was awesome and he would explain the meaning and significance of those things I would have missed completely otherwise. He suggested amazing photo opportunities and allowed me time to explore yourself. Having him present also stopped me being hassled from hustles. I learnt so much throughout, although it doen't feel like being in school at all. I would highly recommend the Magic Carpet team to absolutely anyone. You will be so pleased that you did. They are A+++

    Memorable experiences, worthy for a day!
    From Nefertiti Hotel, Luxor, the breakfast box was also included in this tour, no worry to wake up early, prepare it by yourself. The driving was utterly comfortable, in addition to the destinations, the views from the car never let you be bored. The Egyptologist was certainly professional, there were many to learn what would be impossible by the private visit. Indeed, the difficult destinations to arrive especially by the foreign tourists, consequently the treasurable ancient Egyptian heritages that heave into sights are almost the trophies of magnificence. During the tour, just to relax, relying on the native driver and Egyptologist, the day of luxury in Egypt, which is absolutely promised!

    Great Experience
    It was an amazing experience! Tayeb did a great job. He shared all of his knowledge generously. We learnt a lot from him. He was also keep asking if we are ok, if we have any questions etc. He took care of us a lot so his customer care was from beyond and above. I can recommend anyone to join Tayeb’s tour. You would be more than satisfied. Thanks for everything again, much apprecited 🙏🏻❤️

    Good tour to visit Luxor in one day
    Very good tour if you just have one day to visit the most important places in Luxor. Our guide Tayeb was very didactic.

    Best trip ever
    The credit for our terrific experience in Luxor goes to Dr. Cherry, our guide. Her knowledge and expertise in explaining the history of each temple ensured we were well-informed. The driver Mohammed was exceptional. Both of their personality made the drive from each temple memorable. Dr. Cherry and Mohammed will tell us stories about the city as we drive around. Mohammed's van was always clean! I truly appreciate their generosity and people skills. If we were to go to Luxor again, whom would I specifically request to drive us around and be our tour guide? Dr. Cherry and Mohammed, you are the best!

    The temples were amazing! Got good information and tips about what to see. The car ride was comfortable and air conditioned. It was a very hot day in the desert. Complimentary water was key.

    Luxor and Aswan dream vacation
    My husband and I spent 7 days touring Aswan and Luxor. We chose Magic Carpet Travel for this trip. Our driver was Ahmed Zaky, and guide was Ahmed Aziz. We could not have been in better hands. Our guide was so knowledgeable about every attraction and was an expert at counseling us on the best times to go to a place in order to avoid the crowds. He was also very patient, waiting for us to complete our endless photography. Our driver, Ahmed Zaky was also extremely professional and careful. He managed to navigate the traffic and road conditions in a way that still amazes us. The car was always spotlessly clean, and Ahmed was always right there to pick us up. It was clear that both the guide and driver were highly experienced and professional. This trip met our every expectation and we can highly recommend Magic Carpet Travel.

The tour was well organise and the guide very kindly, funny and prepared. They took us from the hotel, we do the tour and they bring us back, the driver was very punctual and precise. We have the possibility the most important site of both part of the city with the explanation of the guide and than we had free time for photo and whatever we want. In particular we saw Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple in the East Bank and Valley of King, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon and the Temple of Ramses III in the West Bank. It was nice to do a group tour that give us the possibility to know people from different nationality.
When we arrive at the hotel Emad propose us different type of tour and organise teo day in Luxor based on our needs and our budget. Maybe in the future it will be nice to have the possibility to choose between different languages for the guide.
In general a very good tour that we suggest to try if you come here!

The team at Aladin Tours was amazing. Emad organized everything and ensured our tours went smoothly. They were very response to our specific requests to personalize our trip. Naglaa was a fabulous guide with extensive knowledge of Egyptology who was able to show us the best of each site in Luxor -- with the most detailed carving, most vivid colours and most interesting history. Our Luxor driver Salah was safe and efficient enabling us to cover a lot of ground in our three days of sightseeing. Sabry (our guide in Cairo) was wonderful - knowledgeable, and able to tailor the tour to our interests (and he introduced us to the best Egyptian food!) during out 2 days in Cairo. Drivers Ismail and Hamad were amazing at navigating the crazy traffic in Cairo. Overall we had a great trip and highly recommend Aladin Tours.

I enjoyed admiring the sculptures in the Luxor Museum and going to the tomb of Hatshepsut among other kings. Our tour guide Shimiaa Rabie used gestures and expressions to make her material come to life. She answered questions directly and clear cut. It was also fascinating that the statues and temples were built so long ago.

We schedule our tour very late, at 11:00 am and Ghada arrived very promptly to start our tour. She is very friendly and very knowledgeable. She answered every question we had, and even enlighten us on some subjects about Egyptian history we had wrong. I really enjoyed talking to her, it was as if we were vising a very closed friend and she was giving us a tour of her city. We visited the Luxor temple, the valley of the kings, the tomb of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon and Karnak temple. Ghada helped us schedule a Feluca ride along the Nile to enjoy the sunset, and even accompanied us, helped us with photos and highlighted the best places along the Nile. We asked her about the Hot Air Ballons, and she knew all about it. Thanks to her, my friend Jorge enjoyed his 1st hot air Ballon ride as she took care of all the logistics.
I want to go back to Egypt to enjoy a cruise along the Nile, and definitely would get Ghada to help me on that tour too!
If you really want to know what you are looking at when visiting the sights in Luxor, you definitely need to get Ghada, as she is very knowledgeable in Egyptian History!!!!!!!

Tayeb representing Magic Carpet was on time and very professional in explaining the history of the ancient Egyptians. He even taught us how to count in Egyptian hieroglyphics so we could interpret some of the writings ourselves. He had studied this at university and knew what he was talking about. The bus was very comfortable with AC and as a solo traveler I was happy another two groups were on the tour, while most other operators had no groups booked on their tours. A very attentive service and a fair price, I would highly recommend it. It was a good mix between visiting the tombs in the valley of the Kings and some of the temples as well.

Hi! We stayed at Nefertiti hotel and prebooked a west bank tour, a trainride and a taxiride to the coast with Eman from magic carpet. Everything he organized went perfect, the drivers being on time and the guide very knowledgeable! I would recommend Eman and book through him again. 100% satisfied!!
Thanks Eman !

Ahmed, who is usually in Nefertiti Hotel, is always ready to organise a tour for you at any moment. We shared with another couple a day tour to the highlights of the west bank, and we were very excited to visit valley of the kings. Transportation is top and the guide (Sheema) was very nice with us. However, consider the next points in order to improve the experience. 1) Research a little bit about what tombs do you want to visit in the valley of the kings, since the recommendations are not always de best ones. 2) Feel free to visit extra tombs and spend extra time in the valley of the kings. 3) In our case, Sheema included a visit to Carter's House which is relatively expensive and totally not worth it. 4) Be carefull if the guide asks you to take a drink in a nice place, they will ride you straight to a local souvenir shop which is a tourist trap (worst thing is to loose your time there instead of valley of the kings...).

We had an excellent guide in Khaled during our Tour.
His narration of all the historical stories made it a joyful learning experience for our family.

We started our day in the West Bank, at the valley of the kings, on to Hatshepsut’s temple, back to the East Bank where we were staying, for a tour of the Karnak Temple. His knowledge shows how passionate Khaled is about ancient Egyptian history. He wss patient in answering all of our questions.

Khaled also shared helpful tips about culture and exploring other parts of Egypt throughout the day so we were better prepared for some of the interactions we had with local people. Khaled's excellence in customer service made everything worthwhile. The Magic Carpet are lucky to have an amazing guide like Khaled.
