“The trip to Karnak and Luxor Temples were amazing. Our guide Mohamed Alazeb was so knowledgeable he explained the history of the area and temples, and what the temples had been used for. Mohamed was really helpful and would be an excellent guide to ask for doing this trip. The balloon trip and valley of the kings on the second day was also great, well organised, good food and again Mohamed gave us the history of the valley and the tombs we visited. Last but not least our driver Hassan was brilliant. Private car on time, great driver, really helpful, and taught me some Arabic. Great trip with good memories…”
