Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms.

Amazing tour guide experience

Published on Sep, 2021

This was my second time coming to Luxor and doing this tour. The first time was in January 2020 with a group of friends and Khalid was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. This second time I came back to Luxor as a surprise trip for my boyfriend. Again we had Khalid as our tour guide and I was happy we did because my boyfriend has researched Egyptian history before and we would need someone who could provide him with more. Khalid delivered! 10 minutes into the tour my boyfriend turned to me saying how much he likes Khalid and how smart he is. Both times coming to Luxor have been great thanks to Khalid!

Well worth it!

Published on Jun, 2021

So much to see! With low tourism at the moment (pandemic) I was the only person on the tour. That just made it that much more special. I got so many pictures and the tour guide took many of me. Which is very difficult when traveling solo. We went to a great restaurant with very good chicken shawarma. The guide was so knowledgeable and his English was fantastic. He even helped me push off the vendors getting in and out of places. Get a full night sleep ahead of time! Lots of steps and walking. And with temperatures up to 115 F in the Summer, try to visit closer to winter. I will note that the vehicle had the best AC in all of Egypt and they gave me lots of water. Times are tough during the pandemic, so I highly recommend this tour.

What a day!

Published on Jan, 2020

We had a Super day with Ahmed Aziz our guide. Ahmed was interesting, fun, passionate about Egypt’s history and very knowledgeable. The car was really comfortable and driver safe. Both were very professional and our lunch was the nicest food I have had since I arrived in Egypt a week ago. I also appreciated Ahmed’s mastery of the English language as it allowed for great conversations. We went to Clossio Memnon, Valley of the Kings and saw Ramses 111, Ramses 1X, Ramses 1V tombs. Then onto Hatshpsut Temple followed by Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. it was almost too much... fascinating, overwhelming and beautiful. Another big plus...The shopping at stalls was fun and Ahmed was so patient! I would Also advise people to come at this time of year as the weather is cool and gorgeous.

Best Tour in Egypt!!!

Published on Oct, 2019

My guide Khalid Eltayeb and my driver Hassan were the best I had in 10 days worth of tours in Egypt! Accurate historical information, friendly, on time, clean vehicle, and no extra selling. They had so much water on hand for me as well. If you go to Luxor ask for them. We covered so much stuff in one day, and I wasn’t even tired after all of it. The company was also very nice in dropping me off at the airport for my flight after the tour for a small fee. The wonderful part was the fee was less than what a taxi would cost. Luxor Travels is #1 in Egypt!!!

Amazing Tour!

Published on Sep, 2018

This tour was better than expected. Khalid was amazing, super knowledgeable and very kind with us. He made sure we had enough water since it was 102 degrees. The lunch was great, very delicious. The driver would always be there waiting for us. We enjoyed this tour very much. Luxor have wonders you must see and our guide made sure we saw the best tombs and the best of the temples. If your planning to go to Cairo in Egypt you must go to Luxor.
