Excellent private tour with fantastic Egyptologist and great service throughout - 10/10 - Fantastic tour with great guide and friendly service, was able to cover the highlights at our own pace with private car and tour. Egyptologist guide was amazing explaining everything and having great knowledge to answer any questions Managed to mix between the deals with flexibility slowing us to cover all the places we wanted to in the short amount of time we had available. Unforgettable experience

Unforgettable Luxor experience with incredible guide - We recently enjoyed an amazing tour in Luxor with Abdalla Fouad, an exceptional Egyptologist. Abdalla’s engaging and deep knowledge made our visits to the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut unforgettable. He also shared helpful tips for navigating local hustlers, how to spot them and tricks they use to engage tourists (e.g., commenting on my dad's moustache). Abdalla’s caring nature ensured we were well-looked after. He also paid special attention to our 4 year old son, which really made sure he was part of the experience. Our driver, Alaa, was careful and amazing driver, I felt very safe with him. He was also considerate, providing cold water throughout the tour and took great care of us when we needed a break from the tour and stayed in the van. If you're visiting Luxor, I recommend Abdalla Fouad as your guide!

Wonderful excursion to Luxor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The tour was awesome. Our guide guided us well throughout our excursion and answered all our questions. Top transportation. I recommend this excursion if you want to learn as much as possible about ancient Egypt with a French-speaking guide.

Awesome tour to the Westbank - It was the best decision to do a private guided tour to the Westbank. Our guide Fawakeh gave us so much insight on the history. We had the best time and would highly recommend the tour.

Great experience! - Amazing experience with Al-Hassany travel agency. We stayed at Jolie Ville hotel and the staff at the travel desk was very courteous and polite. Shout-out to Viola that arranged for us the west bank tour to the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hashetsput, Colossi of Memnon and organized an Italian giude for my parents that don't speak English after payment of a small supplement. Our guide Suad was an absolute star, my parents were super happy of the outcome and we indeed booked her again for a second visit to Karnak and Luxor temples. Suad brought us also to see a local jewelry, tea/spices house and a shop where they produce and sell original papyrus. From the initial 3h reserved for the total journey we stayed almost 4.5h in order for her to bring us to the shops above and explain us in details the wonder of the world that Luxor can offer. Thank you Viola, Suad and the drivers that came with us!

A must! What a wonderful tour!! - Abdalla was simply wonderful and by far the best guide we’ve had during our stay. He was definitely a level above the rest. As a soon-to-be qualified Egyptologist, he spoke passionately about the ancient wonders. I had been keenly reading up on the various site ahead of our travels and Abdalla was only too happy to answer all of my incessant questions. It was also refreshing to hear Abdalla speak about the theories and hypotheses of the history of the sites but also acknowledge and entertain the concept that we have still much to learn and where some of the existing narratives have inconclusive evidence (some of the other guides didn’t even want to consider reasonable explanations beyond what old textbooks may have to say). What was very impressive was Adballa’s ability to read and translate the hieroglyphs which enriched our understanding even further. It is worth noting that he had the patience of a saint - we had our two young children (aged almost 2 and 4) with us and put up with the various situations that unfolded when travelling with little ones (frequent toilet stops and unending requests for ice cream). The driver Mousa was also very kind and always in the right spot at the right time! He even looked after one of our little ones who had enough of site seeing while we took in another majestic site. We can’t recommend the both of them enough, they were amazing!!!
