This was one of the awesome day tours with did with Magic Carpet. From start to finish the tour was perfect. If you see nothing else in Egypt - see Abydos. The colors and carvings will amaze you. Our guide Rabie had so much interesting information to share with us, it made the visit so interesting. The driver, Mahmoud, negotiated the crazy driving with ease. The van that we had was new and clean.

Beautiful temples. If you have an extra day and want to see how people live outside Cairo this is a great trip. Our guide was great and showed us several areas in the temples I don't think we would have found (or understood) on our own. It is a lot of time in the car on sometimes bumpy roads - but we enjoyed a break from the chaos of Cairo/Luxor and the rustic scenery. If you're really into history, hieroglyphs, or authentic culture this is a must see. If not, you might want to skip it.

From Nefertiti Hotel, Luxor, the breakfast box was also included in this tour, no worry to wake up early, prepare it by yourself. The driving was utterly comfortable, in addition to the destinations, the views from the car never let you be bored. The Egyptologist was certainly professional, there were many to learn what would be impossible by the private visit. Indeed, the difficult destinations to arrive especially by the foreign tourists, consequently the treasurable ancient Egyptian heritages that heave into sights are almost the trophies of magnificence. During the tour, just to relax, relying on the native driver and Egyptologist, the day of luxury in Egypt, which is absolutely promised!

This was a fabulous tour with Khaled, our guide and Mohamed, our driver. Khaled is a very knowledgeable guide and we enjoyed all the explanations and stories. We visited many temples on our trip to Egypt but Dendera was one of our favourites. The walls, columns and ceilings are highly detailed and coloured. We also enjoyed the interesting staircases up to the roof.

We enjoyed this tour and another to Edfu+Komombo temples (towards Aswan). The lunch box was a bit mediocre on the first tour, but it was much better the second time. Ahmed Noureldien was our guide, and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and respectful (We had terrible experiences with other male guides before because they were making inappropriate remarks to our female companion). We regret not having him for longer during our stay in Aswan.
