We embarked on his journey bright and early at 5 am, departing from Hurgada and heading south to Safaga before traversing the desert to a coffee and pastry stop near Qena city.
From there, we travelled down the Nile Valley, remaining on the east bank until we arrived in Luxor itself. Here, we met our Egyptologist, Hussein, who immediately took us into the Luxor Temple.
The Luxor Temple was quite quiet as it was early morning, and Hussein provided us with talks on the various areas and their histories, pointing out many fascinating details that we thoroughly enjoyed. We then had free time to wander among the ruins and marvel at the wonders of history before us. It was simply breathtaking.
Our next stop was a trip into the Valley of the Kings, where we were granted access to three of the tombs in the valley. With over 63 known tombs, there is plenty of choice, but we took our guide’s advice and visited the three he recommended. His knowledge proved invaluable, and we had a fantastic experience capturing some truly unique moments deep underground.
After the Valley of the Kings, we were taken to the stonemasons’ village, where we received a demonstration of how the ancient stonemasons shaped rocks and artefacts found within the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. This was a fascinating insight, though it also included a visit to the obligatory souvenir shop.
Hussein then took us for lunch to his family home, where we met his brother, his wife, and all the children of the family who live there. We were treated to a delicious traditional homemade Egyptian lunch, with all the food grown on the family’s farm or sourced directly from their cow in the garden. It was an amazing experience, very humbling, and it felt gracious to share some moments in the shade, enjoying a meal together.
We then departed back to the West Bank of the Nile visiting another old ruined temple and it gained marvelling at the history that stood in front of us.
The day concluded in the afternoon with a cruise up the River Nile, where we drifted idly on the tide, taking in the sights of the city around us before heading back to the minibus for the long journey back to Hurghada.
As a private tour, I would highly recommend this. You have the opportunity to direct questions to an experienced Egyptologist who can explain things on your terms and in your language. We also found his advice and guidance on what to do and not to do at the various attractions we visited to be invaluable, something we wouldn’t have had if we had booked a group experience. The business owner we met at lunch and his brother were great guys, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to you.

Wir haben einen tollen Ausflug gehabt. Wir wurden pünktlich von 2 sehr netten Fahrern abgeholt, mit denen man sich auf Deutsch und Englisch unterhalten konnte. Die Fahrt an sich empfand ich schon als sehr interessant, da man verschiedenen Landschaften gesehen hat.
In Luxor angekommen hat uns unser Reiseführer Ahmed alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und uns in sehr guter deutscher Sprache alles erklärt und unsere Fragen beantwortet.
Die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren super interessant. Die Größe und Schönheit des Karnak-Tempels war imposant. Das Tal der Könige war für mich überraschend, da ich nicht erwartet habe, wie gut erhalten die besuchten Gräber waren. Man darf 3 der 9 Gräber besuchen und wir haben bei der Auswahl der Gräber auf Ahmed vertraut, was wir nicht bereut haben. Eine kleine Nilkreuzfahrt war auch inklusive, bei der wir sogar auch einmal ans Steuer des kleinen Bootes durften.
Es hat uns auch gefallen, das wir bei Ahmed zuhause seine sehr nette Familie mit Frau, Mutter und guterzogenen Kindern kennenlernen durften. Wir durften dort das leckere Mittagessen seiner Frau genießen und haben danach noch eine kleine Führung durch das Haus erhalten. So durften wir einen kleinen Einblick in das typische ägyptisches Leben gewinnen.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Tag! Ich kann diese Tour nur jedem empfehlen, der ganz privat (ohne andere Touristen) einen tollen Tag erleben möchte.

Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihr ausführliches und wunderbares Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie bereits die Fahrt nach Luxor als interessant empfunden haben und mit unseren Fahrern eine angenehme Unterhaltung auf Deutsch und Englisch hatten.
Schön, dass Sie die imposante Größe des Karnak-Tempels und die beeindruckend gut erhaltenen Gräber im Tal der Könige so begeistert haben. Ahmed freut sich immer sehr, wenn er sein Wissen teilen und bei der Auswahl der Gräber mit Rat zur Seite stehen kann.
Ganz besonders freut es uns, dass Ihnen auch der Besuch bei Ahmeds Familie gefallen hat. Für uns gehört das gemeinsame Essen und ein Einblick ins alltägliche Leben unbedingt zu einer authentischen Luxor-Erfahrung dazu – es macht uns glücklich, dass Sie sich so willkommen gefühlt haben.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Empfehlung! Wir würden uns sehr freuen, Sie eines Tages wieder in Ägypten begrüßen zu dürfen. 🌸🇪🇬
