About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F1113EKrossm0 contributionsGreat tour of the West Bank!!!Ask for Shimiaa Rabie - a highly educated and great tour guide who was more than equipped to answer the numerous questions throughout the tour, not just about the history but the wider area. Visited the Valley of the Kings and other sites on the Nile West Bank, it was a great day and whilst very busy she helpfully guided through the history of the area and the links between each of the sites and the city itself! I would highly reccomend!!!Written December 5, 2024
- p3tran0 contributionsComfortable and funOur driver (Ahmed) made our trip from Luxor to the valley of the Kings and the temple of Hatshepsut comfortable and fun. He went the extra mile to briefly inform us about historical facts that interested us. Towards the end of the trip, we said we'd like to try the local sugar cane juice while in Egypt and he offered us some from a local shop as a gift, without asking anything in return (of course we offered a good tip at the end). I definitely recommend Magic carpet's professional service for day trips in Luxor👌Written November 17, 2024
- E3617AWveronicar0 contributionsVery recomendable, amazing tour!Amazing tour, we loved every monument, tomb and temple we have seen. All the history and monuments are so beautiful. We have learnt a lot from our fantastic guide Shaima, she has explained lots of interesting details about everything very kindly. We’ve had a very good experience :)Written November 4, 2024
- D9770WDnicolam0 contributionsAmazing day at LuxorThe 1-day tour at Luxor was amazing wireless our tour guide Shimiaa Rabie! She explained us everything in a nice and fun way! I super recommend itWritten November 4, 2024
- re9460 contributionsthe best driver of eagyptI hired the best driver ever! Ask for Yasin. We made four tours together. Temples Tombs and a Taxi drive to Port Ghalib. I can really recome d him. Five StarsWritten October 9, 2024
- H3782BCjoaquinm0 contributionsExtremely interestingHighly recommendable! We visited the valley of the kings guided by Sheima. She is the best guide in town, extremely professional and funny. We are a group of 8 spanish students and we had a great time.Written August 24, 2024
- jorgedW7202KM0 contributionsWonderful explanations and best treatShimiaa Rabie was such a great guide. She is a wise egyptologist and knows how to catch your attention. I really enjoyed her explanations.Written August 24, 2024
- A4142IEsantiagom0 contributionsReally interesting and comfy tourOur guide Shimiaa Rabie made the tour around valley of kings and Hatshepsut temple much more interesting and made us feel comfortable, as opposed to all the people who offer you "information" in these touristic sites. Really kind and easy to understand, doesn't rush the explanations and answers all the doubts. My only complaint is the visit to alabaster shop, which is just a trick to make you spend more money, but I'm fully aware is part of his job and doesn't depend on herWritten August 23, 2024
- rub_nm2340 contributionsGreat visit to the valley of the kings with Shimmia RabieNice day with Shimmia as our guide, we went to the valley of the kings, and a few temples. She has quite a lot of knowledge of Egyptian history and a high level of English to communicate it. She lets you take your time on the tombs of the valley and answers all your questions. Nice time!Written August 23, 2024
- johannesandgraces0 contributionsHighly recommendable tour with an extremely good guide!Thanks to our extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide Shimiaa Rabia the tour became an unforgettable experience. She is a university trained Egyptologist and very experienced guide who knows how to convey the necessary context an info about the visited places in a highly professional and at the same time entertaining manor. So those temples and tombs became very much alive for us! In addition Shimiaa also was a reliable guide and big help when it came to questions concerning souvenirs and prices. Shukran so much Shimiaa!Written July 30, 2024
- WiNcze0 contributionsFly away on the magic carpet of exploringGreat group of people offering nice trips all around Egypt. We did a balloon trip above Luxor and then visited Valley of Kings and Hatshepsut temple. Our guide Adem and driver Mahmed did amazing job showing us the beautiful places near Luxor and gave us good tips. I can definitely recommend this company. It is not the cheapest option, but it is definitely the best. They are professionals. You will not get similar experience with anyone else. Good job!Written July 13, 2024
- Sherpa085374134350 contributionsEpic and warm morningThe tour is really good, you visit almost all the important stuff, everything is super beautiful and impressive, but it's also important to give credit to our amazing driver Ahmed, he was super friendly, kind and nice, it wouldn't be the same without him.Written June 21, 2024
- EderS_130 contributionsThe best option for tours in Luxor without hesitation!!!Before arriving in Luxor, we booked a tour with an agency we found online for a round-trip tour in the same day, which was very tiring and therefore very expensive, to Abu Simbel. When we arrived at the Nefertiti Hotel, we asked about tours in Luxor, and they introduced us to Magic Carpet Tour, who offered us packages at a very competitive price for a private tour for just a couple, since we didn't want to be in a large group. We booked a tour with them to the Valley of the Kings, with a visit to 3 tombs, as well as the temple of Hatshepsut, and a visit to the beautiful tomb of Sennefer, in the Valley of the Artisans. When asking about another tour to more far destination - adapted to our choices - with Edfu, Kom Ombo, a night in Abu Simbel, the Hydroelectric Power Plant (dam) in the beautiful city of Aswan, with a quick "sightseeing" and a quick lunch in Aswan (which certainly deserved a stay of at least one night and not just a quick stopover as we decided - which is good, however, because we will definitely return) and last but not least, visiting the Temple of Isis, on the island of Philae, which was our preference because we loved the view of this temple on an idyllic island surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, the beautiful river and the beautiful rock formations, the proposal of the tours and the final price, with both tours were so good, that as we still had time to cancel the other tour, we canceled it and did all with Magic Carpet. We are extremely happy with our choice and with the excellent service, hospitality, friendliness, kindness, of everyone we dealt with, from the booking of the tour, at the hotel itself with a representative of Magic Carpet Tour, to our private driver, the kind, super polite, extremely professional, and more important: the excellent driver - our dear (habib) AHMED who is certainly super responsible. May God bless them all at this dear company that deserves very good recommendations and the best possible review. Since we are not rich tourists, we were really grateful for the proposal, perfect for our budget, and we only didn't request Ahmed's as our private driver to take us to Hurghada because our budget was already very tight, so we took the local bus. Otherwise, we would love to have his service again. We can't wait until we can go back to Egypt, and certainly won't waste time looking for other companies. Magic Carpet is without a doubt our first choice, without hesitation!Written June 20, 2024

Booked a private full day tour. I was very privileged to have Hassan Abn-Elbaset Aria as my host and guide. Hassan has a rare combination of personality and knowledge that will put anybody at ease. Need insite and information you will receive it in excellent English, not pedantically, with a sense of humor.

Dear guest,
A bit of humor can be really nice during the trip. The Egyptian history is so complex, it's nice to make it a little light sometimes. Very good you had a great trip with Hassan.

Our awesome tour guide Mansour led us through the temples at Dendara and Abydos. He would walk us through telling us about the history and highlight some of his favorite parts and then give us time to wander and take pictures on our own. He even starting drawing cartouches to work us through the pharaonic names. Such engaging and chill trip!
Mansour was great for answering ancient history and legends as well as giving us insight to everyday Egypt. Can’t recommend him enough!

They provided a driver and English-speaking guide (Ghada) for sites including Luxor, Abydos, and Dendara. Service was prompt and the guide was informative. We were also able to arrange transport to the train station using one of their drivers. We recommend Aladdin Travel for your touring needs in and around Luxor!

I have arrived in Luxor thinking that it’s going to be a hard experience dealing with the guides and drivers, but these gentlemen made my experience so interesting and enjoyable.
They are providing a full service, from the nice hotel, tasty restaurant with an amazing rooftop view over the Westbank, to the tours I have organized with them.
My guide for 2 full days was Mansour, intelligent, considerate and with very interesting explanations. Nothing like any other guide I had during my one month trip all over Egypt. I was reluctant at the beginning, but I’m happy I had them helping me visiting Luxor’s marvels. They save you all the stress and let you enjoy what is important.

This was a fabulous tour with Khaled, our guide and Mohamed, our driver. Khaled is a very knowledgeable guide and we enjoyed all the explanations and stories. We visited many temples on our trip to Egypt but Dendera was one of our favourites. The walls, columns and ceilings are highly detailed and coloured. We also enjoyed the interesting staircases up to the roof.

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!

A wonderful tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Mansour went at our pace and because we were only in Luxor for one day he allowed us to make special requests and we were able to see so much in one day. I highly recommend asking for Mansour if you book your trip through them.

Dear guest,
You used your one day in Luxor to get the maximum out of it. Mansour is a very experienced guide and can show you such a lot in a short time. Good to know you were so happy with him.

Aladin Tours saved us when we got to Luxor and our partner tour agent was not able to meet our requests. Mohamed has stayed in regular contact with us through WhatsApp and email to make sure that this trip in Luxor and Abu Simbel and Aswan are perfect and trouble free. He helped us with hotels and saved us money on flights. He is also taking care of our trip to SharmelSheik, St. Catherine's and Dahab and back to Cairo.
Wonderful company and great people. Marian was the perfect guide in Luxor!
