A totally unique tour! With a fantastic guide :) - We were absolutely blown away by both the temples we saw! They were a little drive from Luxor but completely worth it. The temples themselves contained beautiful art and Michael told the story of the meanings behind them so effortlessly! We felt like we were transported back in time. These temples do not have the amount of visitors that the Valley of the Kings does which made it more special and unique and enjoyable to experience in my opinion. Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you Michael 😁
