Excellent 3 days tour Soma bay - Luxor. Recommend to everybody
Beyond expectations! This tour was the highlight of our trip to Egypt. We are a couple from Europe and we did not plan the tour before coming to Egypt -- it was an absolutely incredible experience (we were a bit worried about having to pay in cash all in advance but it was totally worth it ).
The entire journey was seamless, thanks to the exceptional help of our driver Carlos and our tour guide Ebram Sobhy that made everything smooth and enjoyable.
Our driver, Carlos, was fantastic— efficient, and truly a master of Egyptian roads! ???? Our tour guide Ebram Sobhy, is a Doctor in Egyptology made our tour a walk to the past. His deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and insider secrets about the temples transformed each visit into a journey through time. He not only shared fascinating historical insights but also added humor and local perspectives, making the experience both enriching and entertaining.
We had the chance to dine at authentic local spots, immersing ourselves in the culture through its flavors and traditions. The itinerary was perfectly balanced—fully packed with incredible sites, yet with moments to relax and soak in both ancient and modern Egypt.
Highlights:
✔️ Dendera and Abydos temples – Hidden gems filled with breathtaking carvings and mystical energy.
✔️ Karnak and the royal tombs – A deep dive into Egypt’s glorious past, including the legendary Tutankhamun’s tomb.
✔️ Hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings – Watching the sunrise over the Nile was simply breathtaking! ????
We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt. If you want a truly unforgettable experience, ask for Ebram Sobhy as your guide—he will make history come alive before your eyes!
Unforgettable getaway!
My partner and I are so happy to have chosen this trip with Zakharious! Coming from Europe we are not used to pay in cash and felt a bit cautious at the beginning, but we had no reasons to worry (almost every payment in Egypt is made in cash): The treatment from beginning to end was wonderful, every visit, hotel and pickups coordinated. Our driver Carlos gave us a great treatment, thank you so much! The highlight was our wonderful guide Dr. Ebraam Sobhy, expert Egyptologist who had the generosity to share his passion with us these three days and accompany our visits with his great energy. We feel so honoured we could be in such wonderful company!!
About the trip, it is difficult choosing the highlight: the Dendera temples, the valley of the kings and Karnak temple stand at the top for me. Also the hot ballon sunrise ride flying over the valleys of kings and queens. Absolutely recommendable!
