I am an active professional tour guide who prides himself on my ability to add personal touches to every tour I conduct. It is extremely important to me that my guests return home with experiences to remember. I have many years of experience in guiding tours all over Egypt's cities. As an Egyptology Specialist with several contacts and years of experience, I'm able to help travelers with their plans and itineraries. I have several years working with people from all around the world, showing them what we have here. I'm also currently teaching in a University where I work with very important professionals in the world of my field. I am looking to have more travellers giving that I can provide the opportunity to enjoy unforgettable visits to my country, so I can also do my part to contribute to the local economy bringing more people to Egypt. I started my studies in 1993 at Cairo University, where I graduated in 1997, acquiring a diploma that was followed by a Master's degree in Egyptology. I studied with Dr. Lens Zou, once Dean of the Chicago Institute in Luxor, from whom I learned a lot about the secrets of this ancient civilization. Then I worked in many archaeological missions and exploratory and touristic trips as well. Dr. Hassan Khalil also had a great influence on me after the death of Dr. Lens, and I have worked since 2002 as a guide for different groups of tourists, including American, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian, until today. Licensed Tour Guide with over 20 years of experience. Master's Degree in Egyptology University Professor of Egyptology -We will have a vehicle from a legalized and modern tourism company with a hired professional driver for our tours, I will be solely guiding you in all places.

Overview of your Luxor tour

For successive generations, my family grew up behind the Karnak Temple, next to its wall. When I was young, I entered to it and looked at those huge statues of Ramesses II and many pharaohs, wondering about this existing beauty and that stunning sense of ethnicity in art and civilization. The Karnak Temple was one of the largest places in the ancient Egyptian civilization. For millennia, it was mentioned that there was a group of temples, one inside another, connected by a road of 3 kilometers along Sphinx statues with the head of a ram, that eventually reached the Luxor Temple. It's also said that in the middle of this road and next to the Nile River, is where we now find the Luxor Museum. So if you want to explore the eastern side of Luxor, visit the Karnak Temple, Luxor and its museum, I can give you an unforgettable visit. I have been visiting them for 16 years so for example, I can show you each piece in the museum and the reason for its presence there. The following itinerary could be customized:
