About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Talebdib0 contributionsLuxors Finest - Khalid!Thank you to Khalid for providing an above and beyond tour experience, captivatingly educating me of each site that was visited and what it contained. Not only was he a man with a large container of knowledge that seemed to be endless, he also made the tour fun! He loves to have a joke and make you laugh whilst educating you of every detail of the site you visit. It was a short visit to Luxor but the next time i come back, i will be using Khalid as my guided tour around other monumental locations in Luxor. Thanks Khalid for everything!Written September 7, 2024
- mukainom0 contributionsI had special memoryI spend amazing day with nice guide khaled!! He is kind and entertaining. I'm not speak English well, so he talk to easy to understand English for me.Written September 6, 2024
- Odyssey540377803810 contributionsGreat cruise, we loved it!Our cruise was such a great experience! The Temples and tombs are fascinating, we had a great guide Hany, who quickly and accurately gauged our level of interest. He was great fun, but the main thing was his knowledge and love of Egyptology, which he shared in a way that kept engaged on each and every visit. He looked after us very well and helped us navigate buying the very few things that we really wanted. Hany was great! Boat staff were so nice and friendly.. Colette. UK.Written September 6, 2024
- NorthStar069364413590 contributionsAmazing day!!Our guide, Roshdy from reflections travel, has been amazing!! He has a lot of knowledges and he guided us all day for the main sites. He has been very kind and helped us for the food allergies in the restaurant too (since the lunch was included in our trip). So guys, I couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Thank you Roshdy!Written September 5, 2024
- Andrea24880 contributionsGreat tour with Roshdy from Reflections Travel!I’ve done this tour with Roshdy from Reflections Travel, it was perfect, well explained, helped us with our food intolerance with the restaurant and he was very kind and polite. The driver with him drove very safely and always ready following our time schedule. Well done!Written September 5, 2024
- 327hinac0 contributionsLuxorLovely full day tour of the Lexus temples and Valleys hosted by Khalid. Khalid was very knowledgeable and friendly and didn’t rush us thru the tours. Which I think is very important. He gave us our time in each excursion and made the experience very smooth. He knew his entire history on Egypt and answered all mine and my husband’s questions.Written September 3, 2024
- C9762JKallisonm0 contributionsWonderful day of history and culture in LuxorI had an excellent day tour with Roshdy from Reflection Travels. I did not have much time to spend in Luxor, but he took me to all the best spots, and was ready and waiting first thing in the morning at the hotel. We visited so many places - the valley of the kings and Karnak temple were my favorites. It was amazing to see how the colors of the paintings in the tombs have survived for thousands of years. He had the perfect local spot for lunch and the hibiscus drink was perfect on a hot day with a gentle breeze coming off the Nile. He said up front that if I wanted to do any shopping, he could take me to find papyrus or cartouches, whatever I like - but when I said I wasn’t feeling like shopping he listened and we focused on the wonderful cultural sites. He is also an excellent photographer and we had an expert driver in Mahmoud! I am a solo lady traveler and felt safe the entire day - he was very good at keeping pushy touts away. I had an excellent day and am very happy to have chosen Roshdy as a tour guide for my day in Luxor!Written September 1, 2024
- 63nicholast0 contributionsFantastic TourWe had this wonderful experience in Luxor seeing the most important monuments of the place. We were accompanied by Roshdy, a fantastic guide and person who, in addition to explaining every aspect of what we saw, was attentive to our needs and preferences. Tanks Roshady We highly recommend this experience.Written August 31, 2024
- marikamY5811UG0 contributionsAmazing tour with RoshdyWe spent all day with our guide Roshdy. My husband and I are italian but we had to book english tour, so he was very kind because he spoke a simple english so we could understand all what he said. This tour is amazing, we saw historical wonders and Roshdy brought us to a typical restaurant where we ate special foods. Moreover Roshdy is a very good photographer and so now we can collect memories of this day. Thank you RoshdyWritten August 31, 2024

- Explorer4462410 contributionsVery informative and interesting tour!Our group did a full day tour with Roshdy starting right when we landed in Luxor in the morning. He offered to pick us up from the airport directly rather than our hotel for a small additional charge. Providing cold water and a well air-conditioned vehicle was amazing as it quickly became quite hot outside and most of the tour was spent outdoors. Roshdy was very informative and passionate about Egyptian history and culture as he guided us through the valley of the kings, Hatshepsut and Karnak temples, and drove by Luxor temple (by choice because it was too hot outside). Lunch was delicious. The alabaster factory and shop was interesting to browse. Overall would recommend the tour! Though would suggest going at a less hot time of the day/year.Written August 29, 2024
- B7897QLandyn0 contributionsRoshdy from reflectionstravel was very goodRoshdy from reflectionstravel was a good guide.

Touring Luxor with our guide, Roshdy Khodary, and Reflections Travel was one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. The sites are spectacular and Roshdy brought them to life with his in-depth knowledge of the history of each spot and the key people who were instrumental in creating them. I loved seeing Hatshepsut's temple, in particular, and hearing about all of the pharaohs who made their mark on the Temple of Karnak.
All of the details of the trip were expertly taken care of, from well-air-conditioned transport to punctual, smooth logistics. We had plenty of time to take in the sites, take lots of pictures, and not feel rushed. Roshdy guided us to make the most of our time, while also going out of his way to adapt the tour to our needs. I highly recommend this tour. It was a wonderful way to see the highlights of Luxor and truly a beautiful day.

As a frequent traveler, this was one of the best day tours that I've ever been on! Mohsen is an amazing tour guide and Egyptologist who went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about thousands of years of Egyptian history and was able to answer all of our questions. Unfortunately, we took this trip on one of the hottest days of the year (44C/111F) but Mohsen went above and beyond to make sure that we still had a great time, including bringing us cold water after every stop and even ice cream after lunch. He was also very helpful in telling us when to tip various people or pay for restrooms and to ignore the "guides" in each tomb.
Our driver Mahmoud was also excellent; he picked us up promptly at every site and kept us cool in the air conditioning.
We stopped at the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. Each stop was unique and well worth the visit; we opted to skip the Valley of the Queens because of the weather and the relatively poor condition of the tombs. If you're visiting Luxor, I highly recommend this day trip to cover the main sites efficiently. You see and learn so much in just one day and the private tour experience is unbeatable.

The tour was perfect!! What an incredible day. Our Guide Mohsem had so much knowledge about everything and he also gave us plenty of private time to explore with no rush, take some pictures, which I find very important and a distinguishable positive characteristic.
I highly recommend exploring all West Bank, is tiring but there isn’t anything we’ve done that I would not recommend or that would not be in my mind forever. Thank you so much for that experience and that perfect sunny and knowledgeable day!!

Roshdy was an amazing tour guide. We had so much fun with him and we felt so safe. He was very knowledgeable and friendly! He went above and beyond our expectations, he took us to a restaurant where we ate the most amazing food. We had never eaten Egyptian food and my whole family loved it! Roshdy made our Luxor trip an unforgettable one!

My friend and I had a satisfying trip in Luxor thanks to Reflection Tours and our tour guide Barry. We had a very detailed introduction at each site from Barry and he answered our questions with patience. We had a very tight schedule to finish our tour of both the west and east side of Luxor in less than ten hours but Barry helped us to see the best of Luxor by allowing us free time at each site to look at the arts by ourselves so we had a great experience together. Barry also has a sense of humor within him. The company also accommodated our special requirement to drop us off at the airport by 5pm with a reasonable extra charge.

Our tour guide, Barry, is awesome. We booked our tour on 4/13 but for some luggage issues, we would have to postpone it to 4/14. Barry showed up on 4/13, not knowing the change. After I explained to him the situation, he was very kind and understanding, and told us that he (and the crew) would come back on 4/14, at no additional charge, even though this means a day of wage loss to them. On the day of the tour on 4/14, Barry showed up on time, and welcomed us again. He is very knowledgeable about the Egyptian history and willing to share and address our curiosity.
The Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens are really impressive, a must-see in my opinion. The Temple of Hatshepsut is magnificent. We got some really fabulous pictures there.
Some tips:
1. It's gonna be really really hot. So pack your water and sunscreen, and if possible, start your day early.
2. All attractions banned the tour guides from going inside with you and have some sort of local tour guides trying to tell you story and help you with your pictures, in exchange for tips. Be prepared with some changes in your pocket
Overall, highly recommended the tour, and our tour guide, Barry.

I would definitely recommend this tour. My guide Mohsen was very knowledgable and gave good information about the attractions, such as the best tombs to visit. It was great to hear about what the things I saw meant in a historical context and really adds to the experience. The vehicle is clean and modern with AC, and the driver drove safely. The pacing was good, I never felt that I was being rushed along, and Mohsen was always happy to take pictures.
Overall it feels like a very professional operation. When I spoke to other people about their tours they said that the guides harassed them to spend money, tried to drive them to another tour, and didn’t explain the sites well. But this wasn’t the case here at all, I didn’t feel pressured into anything. This tour is high quality. Thumbs up from me! A must when you are in Luxor.

Everything ran flawless from start to finish. Roshdy showed up right on time, his knowledge of the valley of the kings and hatshepsut’s temple was exceptional.
Couldnt have asked for a better guide and driver. The van was massive, easily sat our group of 4 and could accommodate 8-10+ most likely.

A fantastic tour of West Bank with Aladdin, we have seen so much in such different styles from Valley of the Kings and Tutankhamen’s tomb through to the workmen’s tombs and Hatshepsut’s temple.
Medinet Habu was a treat, spectacular in its scale, colour and hieroglyphic engravings - it made the temple that would have been at the colossus even easier to imagine.
Aladdin’s knowledge was excellent, he deftly managed to navigate the crowds so sometimes we felt like the only ones there! We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. A must to see the diversity of ancient Egypt styles.

We had an amazing trip with Ashraf to the West Bank. He was incredibly informative and he took great care to make sure that we had a fantastic experience and avoid some of the tourist traps and scams. He was really enthusiastic about what he was describing which added to the enjoyment, and was happy to answer lots of questions! We’ve discovered with these tours that you can request particular people, so if you speak Arabic, English or Romanian I would really recommend asking for Ashraf Mohammed.
