Transform Luxor: Private East Bank Pharaohs' Tour

Awasan spoke good English and she could introduce Ancient Egypt culture to us clearly. We enjoyed our lunch at a restaurant with nice view of Nile, although the drinks there were a little bit pricey.

This tour was ok but did not meet our expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable but only provided us with a limited amount of historical information and the majority of our time was spent alone without our guide. Given that most of this tour is done on your own, we would have been better off visiting Karnak and the Luxor temples on our own without a guide. I would not recommend this excursion.

Salwa our tour guide was on time. We had a wonderful experience. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Patient and does not rush. Would highly recommend and ask for her.

Amazing time on this tour. Half a day tour was the best to prevent getting over tired and to be able to get out of the heat. Both temples were bewildering. Our experience was made better by our very knowledgeable guide Salwa. Highly recommend.

Luxor is amazing. Karnak temple was definitely a highlight. WOW! Our experience was made better by our guide Salwa who was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Angie made sure we knew all the details needed to enjoy the day and answered all our questions as well.

The guide, Maria, was very informative as we visited Karnak and Luxor Temple. The tour took a half day and then we went to the optional, extra cost, lunch. The restaurant was very nice but it probably wasn't necessary to do the lunch through the tour operator. As for Maria. We were very pleased with her and ended up booking a tour to Dendera Temple, guided by her, the next day. Ifvyou can. Try to have Maria as your guide because she really has much more detailed knowledge of the religions during the various periods of Egyptian history.

We visited the Karnak temples with our guide and it was fantastic. We had the best guide of our entire Egypt trip. He was articulate, extremely well read on the topic and genuinely friendly. His attention to detail as well as his knack to know when we wanted to explore on our own was impeccable. Sadly, since he did not whatsapp me or kept semi stalking me to write a review, I did forget his name. In any case, please let that be a final reason to surely book your east bank trip here. Wonderful sights, wonderful tour guide. 5/5

Beautiful quality pieces, great hospitality! Ahmed took care of me and gave me a great price! Highly recommend stopping here!

From collection on the east bank to the end of the tour was only about 2.5, maybe hours, but it was enough to see everything. Karnak Temple and Luxor temple are both very interesting as is the avenue of the sphinx connecting both. After seeing these I asked the driver to leave me at the Luxor Souq which is a local market beside Luxor Temple. The famous Winter Palace hotel is only a short walk away too. PS I also did the night time light and sound show at Karnak, it is not worth it, simply a 80 minute long audio guide of the history of the place with different things lit up from time to time and only seating for the last 20 minutes!
