"Concerning Egypt, I will now speak at length, because nowhere are there so many marvelous things, nor in the whole world beside are there to be seen so many things of unspeakable greatness. " Herodotus Dear Friends, Egypt holds the key that unlocks seven millennia of history and hospitality. I invite you to explore this living, breathing past with me! When you visit Egypt, you will stand in awe before the ancient treasures. You will marvel at its natural beauty; the golden dunes of the Sahara, the holy land of Mount Sinai, the fertile Nile valley, and the underwater paradise of the Red Sea. But most of all, you will be impressed by the warmth, generosity and hospitality of its people. Egyptians are justifiably proud of our very special country; a fascinating blend of timeless traditions and modern innovations; a colorful tapestry of many cultures living together harmoniously. I genuinely care about my country, my guest, and your well being while in Egypt. I want you to enjoy your visit, and allow me to share with you the very best Egypt has to offer! What makes a travel experience unforgettable? Again and again, my travellers tell me it's the time they spent with their local guide. Why? Because guides bring more than knowledge — they bring creativity, flexibility, and a genuine desire to make your day remarkable and unique to you. Whether you're chasing hidden gems, seeking out niche interests, or accommodating accessibility needs, I will go above and beyond to tailor your tour to you. The best thing you can have in every place is someone that can take you around and show you exactly what you want, and enable you to dive straight into the local culture, traditions and more. I will be able to help you to meet lots of people and choose the experience you think most fits your interests. I have been working as a tour guide throughout Egypt for over 16 years. This year, I am very proud to offer you a portfolio of top quality tours that are customized for a wide variety of interests. Whether you are interested in the ancient sites, a very special family vacation, camel and horseback riding, a desert safari or romance, I can make it all come true with a tailor-made tour just for you! Whether you are a solo traveller, family on vacation, a teacher planning a field trip, or a group of friends or co-workers looking for something different to do together, I have got you covered! I want your stay in Egypt to be the most exciting, memorable and satisfying travel experience of your life. I know that once you have traveled with me, Egypt and its people will always have a special place in your heart! Remember, when you are in Egypt, you are part of my family. Welcome home to Egypt!

I will be able to help you to meet lots of people and choose the experience you think most fits your interests. Today, visitors are still awed by this city, the world's greatest open-air museum filled with awe-inspiring monuments of ancient civilizations. In the east stands the City of the Living, where the life-giving sun rises; and in the west lays the City of the Dead, where the sun, in its never-ending orbit, bids farewell to life. The complex of Karnak is a vast open-air museum and the largest ancient religious site in the world. Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the River Nile in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes) and was founded in 1400 BC.

Melad was great! I highly recommend him for any tours in Luxor! Wonderful time !
Melad was an excellent tour guide for us. He took us to the Karnak and Luxor temples. He is very knowledgeable about the history and culture and kept it fun and engaging. Even before the tour, he advised on the best times to visit to enjoy the temples in daylight and the evening lighting at Luxor, and he had tickets available for us to use to skip the ticket lines.
Melad delivered an incredibly unique and personalised tour that took us to one of the oldest and most original village houses on the West Bank. The family opened their modest rural home to us with such pride and excitement that we felt humbled and honoured to be able to glimpse their daily life. It is a step back in time of hardened earth floors, bullocks and other farm animals in the small back area and an open second floor that allowed for the drying process of various foods. Tea and coffee was freshly prepared and offered as we sat on their handmade settee that doubles as a family bed after dark. Melad was our interpreter, teacher and guide. We smiled with wonder and appreciation as the family beamed when we asked for photos. This was such an unparalleled experience that the memory will linger longer than most travel moments.
We enjoyed a wonderful 2 day tour with Melad. Luxor is an incredibly special place and I’m sure we enjoyed it even more thanks to Melad. He is extremely knowledgeable & shared many fascinating stories. It has left us wanting to return to other historical sites in Egypt. Thank you!
This was the largest Temple we visited & well worth the time. Picked up & delivered by Melad directly from our hotel lobby. Melad made our time in Luxor & Aswan memorable. In addition to providing top shelf guide service Melad provided concierge care with restaurant, hotel ,transportation & banking services ( I had trouble with a debit card). This is the way to tour Upper Egypt.
I will pick you up from your hotel or another agreed location in Luxor. Our tour will begin with a visit to the impressive Karnak Temple. Next, we will proceed to explore Luxor Temple. At the end of the tour, I will drop you back at your hotel. P.S. This is a suggested itinerary, and I can customize it to suit your preferences and schedule.
