Well run trip tailored to my requirements

Published on Feb, 2025

Very well run trip tailored to my requirements because I had already visited Habu temple so we went to the valley of the kings instead. All the places visited were very interesting - especially the ones less visited by tourists such as the workers’ tombs. The Egyptologist was very knowledgeable.

Great and special opportunity

Published on Nov, 2023

It was much more relaxing but very detailed visit comparing with the visit to The Valley of kings. I definitely recommend this package. My guide Azab was very professional, easy going and kind so that I can look at the details of places and ask him many questions. He used work as alqueolog before and worked in som sites in Luxor. He as excellent guide and good English.

Amazing tour

Fabulous itinerary to the Valley of the Queens

Published on Jul, 2023

We did a 10-day Nile boat cruise with Saga, which was excellent, but by far the best day of our holiday was the day trip with Nile Tours on our first day. Tayeb, our guide was very good. Nile Tours and Tayeb even organised an extra birthday celebration for my husband on a felucca, which we were thrilled with. The content of the trip to the Valley of the Queen's was brilliant and the quality of the artwork in the tombs was unforgettable. Thank you so much, Nile Tours and Tayeb.

Expensive ticket to Nefertari’s tomb and surprising Habu temple

Published on Jul, 2023

You will find the Valey of the Queens repetitive after you have done the e Valey of the Kings. I recommend doing it only if you are interested in visiting Nefertari’s tomb and you are interested enough to pay 1,600 EGP per person ( $52 USD AS OF July 2nd 2023). They also don’t offer student price, so it can come expensive for a family. They say no more than 10 minutes in the Nefertari’s tomb but not sure they really apply that rule. The Habu temple was surprisingly interesting and better preserved than other temples. We skipped the Valley of artisans. About the driver and the guide, they were very accommodating in adjusting to our plans. The guide is quiète knowledgeable which may lead to you getting more information than you need. I recommend this tour if you are passionate about ancient Egypt and you have extra time to go beyond the most famous sites
