"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!

Overview of your Luxor tour

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. If you chose to visit Luxor and you got only one day and you want to see the most visited and attractive sights in Luxor, join me on this tour to show you the beautiful tombs of the Valley of Kings and will lead you to the tomb of the boy king Tut and climb up the temple of the queen Hat Shep Sut which will enable you to shoot the best photos of the temple and its surroundings. I won't let you leave before you walk between the forest of the gigantic columns in Karnak temples and show you the image and name of Alexander the Great in Luxor temple and a lot more! I promise, you will have a memorable experience touring Luxor with me.

We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Melad! He is SO knowledgeable about Egypt’s history and he also gave us special and unique experiences in Luxor. We went on a private boat ride on the Nile and ate at a wonderful farm-to-table restaurant. He taught us about food, culture, agriculture, history and so much more-the whole package. It was such a unique and special day with him and we loved every minute! He was also willing to go above and beyond and show us so much more, but after 10 hours, our family decided it was enough for the day. That meant a lot to us though, that we had to call it, even though he was willing to go on. He is truly passionate and great at his job! We don’t think anyone could have done a better job showing us around Luxor! We miss him and would recommend him to anyone!

Melad is a great guide. He met our very early train from Cairo and stayed with us until dinner and transport back to our hotel. While he had a set plan, he was able and willing to tailor the tour to my suggestions and needs. He also provided just the right amount of information on the various sights. Not droning on and on about every detail which we did not want or need. Although I'm sure with his knowledge, he could do so if a client wanted. I'd hire him again without question.

Melad was an excellent tour guide during our time in Luxor. His knowledge of the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and the fascinating history of ancient Egypt made our visit truly enriching - especially for a family with teens. Melad’s friendly approach created a relaxed atmosphere, and he was always happy to answer our questions. His tips on local culture and authentic cuisine were much appreciated as well. I highly recommend Melad for anyone wanting to explore Luxor and delve deeper into its incredible history!

We toured Luxor with Melad this past July, and he was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Egypt’s history, he made every site come alive with engaging stories. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable in the July heat—always having cold water ready and finding shady spots when needed. Melad’s kindness, professionalism, and deep knowledge made our visit truly unforgettable. Highly recommend him for anyone visiting Luxor!

We have a wonderful day with Melad. We had a great day tour in Luxor with Melad! He made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He took us to so many amazing spots and was very knowledgeable and kind throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a guide in Luxor!

Melad was a great guide! He picked us up at the airport in Luxor and took us to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temple, a boat on the Nile, an Alabaster factory and a great lunch. He was very informative and changed our agenda to accommodate us because we got so over heated and couldn’t spend anymore time outside in the sun. We would definitely recommend Melad for any tours that you wish to take in Luxor.
