    Amazing Experience in Luxor

    Luisana_R, Feb 2026
    I had a wonderful time touring the West Bank through this experience. I booked the only driver option as I am a single traveler on a budget but for the price it was worth it. The driver, Ahmed, was very helpful and kind throughout the tour. He picked me up at my rental promptly and we began the day. I appreciated his clean and spacious SUV and his offering me water throughout the morning. When we arrived at the Valley of the Kings he explained to me the process for buying my ticket and what it included (3 tombs of my choice but King Tut’s tomb is extra which I decided not to do). He let me know it typically takes around 2 hours to walk around and enjoy the valley and to shoot him a message when I was wrapping up. After exploring the Valley of the Kings, which was incredible, we were off to Hatshepsut’s Temple. Ahmed was happy to chat with me and answer my questions. He also highlighted other points of interest throughout our excursion in the West Bank. After taking in the Temple of Hatshepsut, I was off to my final stop, the Colossi of Memnon. On the way, Ahmed was kind enough to stop so I could take pictures near the mountain and of other temples/sites along the way. When we arrived to Memnon, it was very cool to hear Ahmed share how he grew up watching the archeological site unfold and how it has changed in the last 20 years. He even pointed out a new statue that they just finished erecting this past November, I didn’t realize how much research and new findings are still occurring all around Luxor. After visiting this last, awe inspiring monument, Ahmed was kind enough to checkin and ask me if I was hungry. I definitely was and so he offered to stop off at a local authentic Egyptian restaurant so I could pick up some food to take back with me to the Airbnb. Since this was a place not frequented by tourists, he helped me decide and order which, again, was so kind. This was legitimately one of the best meals I had while in Egypt. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, the kofta was perfectly seasoned, even the rice and salads that came along with it were delicious. As a single woman traveling in Egypt, there are moments that can feel intimidating but touring around Luxor was a lovely and calmer experience compared to Cairo. Ahmed was so friendly, respectful and kind that I asked him if I could make arrangements with him to take me to tour the East side of Luxor which he thankfully was able to accommodate. The East side is a lot more traffic and city like compared to the West so I was so happy to have someone trustworthy to take me on adventures there. The following day, Ahmed was able to take me to see Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Souk, and to another delicious hidden gem for dinner. I really enjoyed my time in Luxor thanks to Ahmed and his Nile Neighbors hospitality. He consistently went above and beyond to make me feel like more than just another tourist. I truly felt Ahmed’s love for Luxor and his desire to share the Luxor he knows with others. Thank you again Nile Neighbors and Ahmed!
