Unforgettable Journey Through Time in Luxor - We started our tour in the Valley of the Kings, where standing before the tombs of iconic pharaohs felt surreal. Our guide, Sam, was deeply insightful, explaining each tomb's unique history and sharing details we never would have noticed on our own. He also helped us pick the most remarkable for us to visit inside.
Next, we visited The Temple of Hatshepsut. Another fascinating stop that showcases the story of Egypt's first female pharaoh. Her temple stands out for its elegance and distinctive design, set against the beautiful cliffs of Deir el-Bahri.
Karnak Temple was another highlight — its grand columns and towering statues are overwhelming in the best way! Sam explained the complex's architectural evolution and pointed out specific reliefs depicting key events in Egyptian history, making the experience much richer.
Overall, Sam was exceptional, balancing historical facts with local insights and stories. He also gave us plenty of time to explore on our own, which allowed us to absorb the ancient beauty around us fully. This trip to Luxor was unforgettable, and I left feeling connected to a history I’d only read about before.
Highly recommend this experience.

The wonders of Luxor - Shareem was an amazing tour guide, expertly guiding me through the wonders of Karnak, the incomparable tombs at Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, and ending at Luxor. She truly is the #1 tour guide of Egypt and even graciously provided me with an umbrella to help shield from the Egyptian sun. I learned so much about Egyptian history and mythology-- thank you EMO for a great tour.

Excellent service with Emo tour - I had a great experience with Emo Tour, they were in contact with me the whole time to organize the tour. Our driver was Abd Rabboh who was very friendly, with good English, showed us places during the route and gave us plenty of information about the place. Plus he picked us up at punctual time. Thank you very much, I recommend this company.

All in all a good day out. From 0900-1600 - The tour was really nice. Started on the East bank with the Karnak Temple and then headed to the West Bank for the rest of the attractions. Went for lunch at a local restaurant and then headed back to the East Bank, Luxor Temple to end the tour. If someone is a history enthusiast and wants to spend longer, slightly in advisable as some tour guides don’t tend to give more than 45-60min per place.
