Picked up from our hotel, dead on time. Had a 3 hour drive to Luxor, in a nice air conditioned mini van. No more than 15 people.
Our tour guide, Ashraf was absolutely amazing. A lovely man who you could tell enjoyed his job!
He was extremely knowledgeable and took us to places other groups didn’t.
First stop was the Karnak Temple, we spent about 1.5 hours here.
Upon leaving here, we had the option to do a nile cruise (£10) Seeing as we did a Nile cruise the day before, we proceeded to the restaurant via the bus. The restaurant was clean, had nice quality food and was situated on the side of the Nile. The views were lovely!
We made our way to the Valley of the Kings. Included in our tour was 3 entries to whatever tombs we liked. As a group, we decided to stick with the tour guide and visited the tombs he recommended.
We visited KV 2,4 and 6.
There was an option to see Tutankhamen’s tomb at an extra cost. But our guide said it wasn’t anything special as all the items that were inside, were located in the museum. Thanks for not letting us waste our money!
We then visited the Temple of Hatshepsut. Wow. The views from here were breathtaking. Ashraf took us to the bottom right corner of the temple, and showed us where the image of Hatshepsut was removed from all the hieroglyphs. I won’t spoil why! But again, no other groups went here so missed out on a key piece of information!
Lastly, we stopped off at the Colossi of Menmon.
Please give the driver and our guide Ashraf the credit they deserve, in making our tour absolutely fascinating!
Please please please, book with this company!!
