Long Trip but Exceptional. - The trip is long driving from/to Luxor but no problem at all as our driver Ali was very good and the transportation was comfortable. Nice and well organized tour which gave the great tour meaning. Our tour guide Samir was very good and gave us a a lot of information about the temples of Abydos & Dendara. Samir was very accommodating and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend it for everyone!

Great tour to special monuments - I had a great time with my tour to the 2 temples Abydos and Dendra. I took my enough time exploring the area with NO RUSH. Great experience with well- educated guide Abdul Hamid. He was very passionate to the history of Egypt with patience of answering the entire question all way to the temples. The journey is terrific and full of adventure especially when I had the chance to take many photos for the temples. Very well worthy!! As a solo traveler, everything was comfortable and very well prepared. Great experience

Our dreams come true with Samir!! - We arrived at Abydos as we were planning. Driving is long but safe. Samir was our guide. Smooth pickup from our hotel on time with bottles of water. Samir picked up us with our names sign with air-conditioned clean car. He started explaining all stories about about the temple all the way and when we arrived at the temple, he continued telling more and more about the history of Ramses|| and his father Seti. Trip was long but exciting. We returned back to Dendra to continue our trip to the temple of Dendra which was really fantastic and beautiful. Nice hospitality. We recommend it.

Dendera and Abydos is the best - Salah has been great. So friendly making his best to be enjoyable. His English was very clear to understand. Many photographs have been taken by him for us. Started early morning and came back around 5 pm. Had a special beautiful time in the 2 temples. The tour combined with lunch box. Thanks for everyone and for the arrangement.

Huge thanks to Salah - We spent a great full time trip seeing the two massive temples of abydos and dendera which are located far from Luxor. Our egytology tour guide Salah - our private guide during all day - has explained to us every single information in each temple. Lunch boxes were included as for a long trip with no stops for lunch. Tour arrangements were perfect and our guide Salah was very helpful during the tour. A great story teller all the time. Our driver Memo was very funny and drove safely all the way. Great tour with Salah. We have booked the tour with Discover Luxor tour agency. Highly appreciated.

We recommend Hassan - Best guide - Our experience in Luxor was amazing with Zero issues. We will tell everyone who is seeking for memorable time with the history of Egypt. Discover Luxor with MR.Hassan did a great job and organized our tour to Ddndra and Abydos from the fair price to the clean comfortable car with nice driver Ahmed. Trip is long but it deserves to be there. Abydos and Dendra are the best to visit. Hassan is very knowledgeable Egypt ology guide with excellent speaking English. We highly recommend Hassan and Discover Luxor to arrange anyone trip in Luxor.
