Beautiful and amazing! - This tour with the amazing Ahmed Nofal was very informative and intimate. I was able to learn a little about the hieroglyphics and was taught to recognize the names and figures. Definitely a different experience from the other more well known tour spots. My favorite part of the trip was the Habu Temple and seeing the difference in carvings/paintings. If you have some off time, i recommend a visit!

Experienced guide and customized experience - Hatem was a great guide, well-versed in Egyptian history of the new kingdom. He knew I was interested in history so He took his time to dive me in details about hieroglyphics, hidden symbols and special places in the Rameses III temple and Tombs of the nobleman. Deir-el-medina is worth the visit ! I recommend add to your tour the visit to Seti I temple, It's empty of tourist and worth it if you're interested in ancient history. On the other hand, There's a visit to an stone-workers shop where you can find and buy handcrafted work. If it's your first time negotiating something in Egypt I suggest ask your guide to help you bargain. as a personal tip always ask first for the price and bargain at least 50%. Note: Remember the tomb guardians may ask you for tips if they take you pictures. :) , do it ! They are really good photographers :) and I was alone in the funerary chambers so I strongly recommend it since your guide is not allow it to walk with you in. Enjoy! :)

Amazing tour with lots of history - We had a fantastic experience organizing the trip with Heba and her team. Mona, our guide, gave us very accurate information about the different sites on the West bank. They suggested us the best times to visit each site, to avoid as much as possible the big crowds and had a lot of flexibility on starting times. We also stopped to have lunch at an amazing place in the West bank which was recommended by them. The transfers to the sites were very professional too. Overall, we loved our tour with Mona and would recommended to anyone visiting Luxor.

Incredible Sights with knowledgeable friendly tour guide - First of all, I must say that Hatem is one of the best guides I had in Egypt, very professional, excellent English, fun to hang out with. I love to ask a lot of questions and he was never tired of me, always with an insightful response. "Egypt Gift Tours" helped us plan a very thorough Luxor visit with only two days time, nevertheless, this tour, in particular, is a must see even though is not one of the mainstream sights.

Nobles and Deir El Marina tour!! - This tour was great! Our guide Hatem was very personable, and very knowledgeable. I learned more on this tour than any of the others. The guide is not just knowledgeable about these sights, but all of the sights and the pyramids. I felt safe and enjoyed the tour very much!
