Day Tour to Luxor from Hurghada

I have been on two tours in Cairo and two tours in Luxor with Memphis and they were all excellent. They pick you up fromyour lodgings in the morning by private car and take you to the sites. They get the tickets for you and help you deal with the hawkers. The egyptolost tour guides are really knowledgeable and helpful.

I was particularly impressed by Mohamed Salam in Cairo though Maha and Abdou were also good. I would recommend Memphis Tours to any of my family and friends who come to Egypt.
 

We used Memphis Tours for trips to Luxor and Cairo. Despite the tensions in Egypt, everything went well. You are escorted 100% of the time. All staff were very professional and friendly. Guides were very knowledgable and did a good job keeping souvenir vendors at bay. For me, going to Egypt for a beach holiday from the UK makes zero sense, unless you also want to absorb a bit of culture and history. I would definitely recommend Memphis Tours - there might be some others that are a little bit less expensive, but they can't be faulted for professionalism.

Me and my 13year old daughter have just come back from a visit to Makadi Bay, Hurghada and while we were there used Memphis Tours to organise our trip to Luxor and I cannot rate them highly enough! Fantastic company with some great guides.

Having researched a little while in the UK in the weeks before our trip to Egypt, I decided that we would visit Luxor and the temples and tombs around this area. However I didnt fancy 4hrs each way on a coach so decided to book a private car instead and it was one of the best decisions I have made. We were picked up at 5.30am promptly by Islam the guide for the first part of the journey, and Mohammed the driver for the whole day. Both were extremely courteous and welcoming. The journey is 4 hours to Luxor, with a break half way. It actually didnt feel that long and the car was very comfortable and islam was very informative and chatty along the way.

Once in Luxor our guide for the day was Alaa and he provided an excellent sevice, informative, helpful and also kind. The tour was well put together, showing us the major sites around Luxor - totally fascinating!
The resturant where we had lunch was brilliant - happy to accomodate us when learning we are vegetarians, and showing great kindness to my daughter who was feeling a little unwell from the heat. Because of this care, she was able to recover enough to complete the tour.

Because of the good service we recieved during our trip to Luxor, I was happy to organise other outings with the company - Alaa organised a visit to Hurgadha one evening to see an egyptian show/display - a brief history of Egypt with impressive models of the Sphinx etc, a display of horsemanship - which was brilliant, belly dancers, whirling dervishes and a coloured fountain display - beautiful. Our guide was Aziz and he showed us around the massive hotel complex where the show takes place and around the small museum that holds replicas of many famous Egyptian artefacts - again very imformative, interesting, and a fun evening - highly recommended!

Aziz was also able to organise trip on a glass bottomed boat - which was amazing. This boat doesnt just have a small veiwing hole - it has a section inside the boat that is submerged and has strengthed windows that provide huge veiwing stations. You sail out for about ten minute sat on the deck, looking at the beautiful coastline, then you go inside the boat where its nice and cool and take a seat and watch as millions of fish go by and see all the beautiful coral- its like an aquarium, there are so many fish! I can see why its a top destination for diving! Absolutely stunning - and a must do!

Memphis Tours are an excellent company and I fully recommend them, and thank them for making our trip to Egypt so memorable. If/when we get a chance to return I would definately use them again.

As it was a private tour my son and I were picked up by car and driven from our hotel at Soma Bay and to Luxor. En route our guide, Abdelaal Wanan, gave a formidable history lesson, and then escorted us to through the main Luxor sights: Valley of the Kings, Memnon, over the Nile to Karnak Temples. Despite the number of tourists and tourist development the sights themselves are still spectacular. The lunch stop was fine, but don't expect white table clothes and a superior restaurant. Considering the price of the tour I would have expected more. Both the guide and driver, Magad, were upmost repectful and friendly, which is much valued as a mother traveling with her son. They clearly helped us avoid the usual hassles of becoming tourist prey, which for us is a premium well worth the investment.

We went on a one day trip to Luxor to see valley of kings, Karnak temples and Hatshepsut temple. We were picked up early morning in our makadi bay hotel (close to hurghada) by our excellent guide and our excellent driver! Abdelaal Wanan was our guide, he gave us great insight into the history of the ancient places we visited and he was very friendly and funny! Our driver Magad made sure we had a safe and pleasant drive, he was very friendly and we felt very comfortable with him as our driver! It was a great day exploring the amazing sights in Luxor. We also had a delicious lunch arranged by Abdelaal on the rooftop in luxor looking over the Nile. and we would strongly recommend both Abdelaal and Magad - and using Memphis to arrange your sightseeing! Thank you for great service!
