One of my favorite tours...

Josh_C, Sep 2026

One of my favorite tours in Egypt! I didn’t really know what to expect because I was more familiar with the East Bank / West Bank tours. However, this one was spectacular. My guide was Bahgat, and he was incredible. You could tell he was passionate about his work and truly into the history. He would explain tons of facts and stories on the locations, but also throw in crazy trivia on the history of words and other tid bits that made it fun and obvious he didn’t just memorize the main facts from the book. We chose to go to Habu instead of Abydos - loved Habu and happy with that decision. I’d recommend Bahgat for any tour, especially if you’re into the history and not just a few IG pictures. Pickup and drop off was easy - they were on time and no issues with logistics. It’s the only tour I had in my time in Egypt that didn’t communicate via WhatsApp, which I prefer, but no complaints as everything went smoothly… Book this tour - it was awesome!

Great trip to the temples. Marvelous gems and must be visited if you are in Luxor. Mohammed and Omar were fun all a way and made this trip an easy breezy thing. Thank you.

Definitely worth the drive out there Amazing temple's the colours are so vibrant. A little confusion around pick up but they where quick to resolve. The guild's knowledge on the mythology was great as I have a keen interest in the gods. Historical you may find a few inaccuracy but nothing to major and I found across all my tours difference in opinions due to continually evolving theories within the archeological community anyway Nice food at a small restaurant not a big commercial one which was nice

Great day in Dendera and Obydos

Imre_H, Sep 2024

It was a really great day. Our driver was punctual and attentive. The car was clean, like new. We had a good time.

Breathtaking Lifelong Memories!

Joshua_L, May 2022

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with our guide Ahmed Omar, and our driver Abd Rabbo. We got SO MUCH done with the tour that we could have never done on our own, and our guide was polite and enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable.

Die interessantesten Tempelanlagen Ägyptens

Matthias_H, Jun 2023

Dendera und Abydos liegen abseits der großen Touristenströme. Das ist wohltuend und diese Ziele haben es in wirklich sich und sind äußerst lohnenswert. Dendera bietet u.a. die erste Himmelsdarstellung und Kalender! Zudem die Abbildungen einer ungeklärten Technologie in der schwer zugänglichen Krypta. In Abydos sind die Königsliste und das Osirion die Highlights. Leider kann man das Osirion aus gigantischen Granitsteinen nur von oben bestaunen. Als einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Location des Mittagessens zu nennen. Diese entsprach nicht den hygienischen Anforderungen! Und wir sollten gar hinzuzahlen, was wir strikt ablehnten. Ein großes Lob an den Fahrer, der uns durch den Verkehrschaos und die zahlreichen Baustellen lotste! Bitte viel Zeit einplanen!
