Full Day West Bank Tour

Chloe_R, Apr 2026

The full day tour of the west bank was amazing! The guide Emad & driver Tamer were great and made everything smooth. I felt very comfortable with them as a solo female. Emad gave great advice for navigating Egypt as well as amazing information at each of the sites. We had some great discussions about cultural differences and current events. We started at 7 and I would definitely recommend the early start! I would recommend this tour and Emad to anyone wanting to explore the west bank!

Luxor/Karnak tour

Brian_B, Apr 2024

We had a really nice time with Remon as our tour guide. He was very knowledgable and took some great photos and knew the perfect photo-op locations. Will use Remon again if we return back to Cairo.
