Day trip to Luxor from Hurghada: a must! (And our guid Ahmed was exceptionally good) 😊
Three main highlights: 1. Our guide Ahmed was the best, very knowledgeable, kind and funny! 2. It will be very hot so go prepared (hat, do not expose a lot of skin, even a scarf to cover your head, shoulders and arms. I bet saved us from a heat stroke. Despite the extreme heat it is so so worth it. 3. The trip there was long but we knew what we sign for so it was as expected, long but comfy. Luxor and it's wonders it's stunning to see. Karnak temple it's simply breathtaking, the valley of the kings was unreal. The temple of Hatshepsut it's shocking and knowing about the queen only makes it more special to stand there. The drive on the bus was pleasant, we all could rest on our way there, the drivers were kind and gently when driving and avoided to put music which I think was very respectful. However for me the most important and the best was our guide Ahmed. He made this experience go smoothly with professionalism and care. From the moment we stepped out of the bus he took care of us really well, he was amazingly organised, the way he explained everything was interesting, clear and to the point. He knew how to avoid the crowds and you could tell he was very aware of what he was doing. He was very caring, making sure we would all be on the shade when giving long explanations. He bought water for us and snacks. I instantly felt safe with him and I enjoyed every bit of the day because I knew I was in good hands. Me and my partner had the best experience and we think Ahmed played the key role to make it so special. If you read this Ahmed, you're the best and we wish you all the luck and good things for you and your loved ones! Erola&Victor
