The grandeur of the buildings of the temple is impressive. A very short tour of the temple (45 minutes with a guide and 30 minutes on your own). There was not enough information, interesting stories, historical facts...Although in the heat, you probably won't be able to stand it any longer...This excursion, and not only that, was bought from Mustafa Elvani. Everything is twice cheaper than the tour operator. Everything was organized clearly, we had to wait a bit until everyone was gathered in one bus, it took four hours from Hurghada to go there and three and a half back, armed escorts were required (for our safety).

As if you find yourself in some other world or a historical film. The beauty is incredible. The Hall of Columns with its grandeur and beauty simply blows your mind. Very beautiful! Recommend.

I was looking for an opportunity to combine all the best places to visit in one tour, but the issue could only be resolved individually. We went for $85/person. First, we drove by a group bus for 2.5 hours in the direction of Luxor, and then at the fork we were transferred to a Toyota minibus and with comfort and positive we went to the temple of Hathor (Dendera). I can say: this is the brightest and most colorful temple!! ! After the same bus and guide, we arrived in Luxor at the Karnak Temple, another 2 hours of excursion time flew by, and went down the Nile in a boat to the "Coast of the Dead", where we went to have a bite to eat in a restaurant.

It was an incredible tour! The temple fascinated with its color and scale. A lot of unusual locations for photos. Feeling like I was in the movie "The Mummy". I was very lucky with the guide, a fluent Russian-speaking Egyptian, Khalid, made this tour even more exciting with his stories about the history of the temple. Of course, it is better to visit the city of Luxor when it is not so hot because you will have to walk in the sun for a long time. I advise you to definitely visit this place and plunge into the history of ancient Egypt!.

My husband and I really enjoyed the tour, an interesting place! But we didn’t have enough time to take a walk, we wanted to see everything, the territory is large, the last ones always ran into the bus . . We would love to visit this temple again! recommend!

Karnak Temple is the first point of the Luxor tour. Entrance to the territory through the framework, inspection of luggage, as at the airport with tickets. All the buildings are an incredible sight, when I touched these majestic structures, I got goosebumps, an unreal feeling. This must be experienced. Our guide Ahmed is the best, he had a very cool tour, competent narration plus subtle humor. They made wishes and walked around the scarab some times, some 5, some wound 7 circles. After the Karnak temple, the tour continued, the temple of Hatshepsut, the colossi of Memnon, Banana Island.

I was in Luxor with my wife. The guide was foolishly taken from the hotel. The road took about 5 hours only there and the same amount back from Makadi Bay. First brought to Karnak Temple. I gave 30 minutes for the tour and photos!!! ! But everyone started to boil that much and the time was reduced to 15 minutes !!! ! . As a great admirer of ancient Egyptian culture, I wanted to cry. But the beauty is incredible. You plunge into the depths of millennia, imbued with history. It was the same with the Temple of Hatshepsut 15 min.

I really wanted to touch the history of this amazing country at least a little. And where can this be done if not in Luxor? In addition, the Egyptian winter is the best suited for excursions. The tour includes a visit to several sites: Karnak Temple, Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Mnemon and the Valley of the Queens. Karnak temple is located on the right bank of the Nile in the "city of the living. " Looking at the pictures and live are two different things. To say impressive is an understatement.
