• 5Expert Egypt travel company

  I am currently in Egypt and happy to share that I can highly recommend Far and Beyond Travel without any hesitation. Although they are based in Luxor, they operate across all of Egypt and deliver an exceptional level of service. From the start, the team did a fantastic job organising all our tours and transfers exactly to our preferred schedule. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt completely at ease throughout our trip. Our journey began in Luxor, where we were guided by an outstanding Egyptologist, Alaadin.. His knowledge and passion for Egypt’s history were truly inspiring. It was incredible to learn that he is the grandson of the young boy who discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb accidentally by dropping a bucket of water—such a unique and personal connection to history. Alaadin was kind, patient, and incredibly engaging. His storytelling brought ancient Egypt to life, and hearing about his childhood growing up next to a tomb made the experience even more special. He used to play inside and the family kept chickens in it. We wish him all the best of luck on upcoming archeology digs! All the drivers who took care of us were also excellent—professional, friendly, and always made us feel safe and well looked after. As it’s impossible to see everything Egypt has to offer in one trip, we are already planning to return—and we will definitely be booking with Far and Beyond Travel again when Nefertari’s tomb reopens. They have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. A special thank you to Alaadin, Yassin and Mariska for their impeccable service!

• 5East & West bank tour of valley of the kings, Hatshepsut temple, alabaster workshop, Karnak & Luxor temples.

  We set out at 8am (in retrospect I would recommend starting earlier as it got hot and crowded) and our guide Allehdin was great at guiding us to the the sites, through the administrative part of buying tickets and buggy rides and then explaining the interior of the tombs and temples. He didn’t come in with us, which we thought was unusual as there was a lot that needed explanation inside the places but was great before and after. It’s a long day, I would skip the alabaster workshop and stick to tombs and temples as they try to charge the craziest of prices for things you can buy online cheaper, you don’t learn much either. Whereas the rest of the day was incredible, the conservation on the sites it great, toilets kept clean and with the exception of pushy tourists in overcrowded corridors and endless wannabe instagrammers taking photos everywhere you get to see and learn so much about the pharaohs, gods and history. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

• 5Unforgettable Luxor Tour with the Most Knowledgeable Guide

  We had the most incredible full-day Luxor highlights tour with Aladdin and our driver Mahmoud. From the moment we started, they made us feel less like tourists and more like family—so warm, kind, and genuinely caring. Aladdin’s knowledge was absolutely outstanding. Every site came to life through his storytelling, and you could really feel his passion for the history and culture. It honestly felt like one of the most informative and engaging tours we’ve ever had. Mahmoud was also amazing—such a safe, smooth driver and always attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout the day. Together, they made this experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting Luxor, you’d be so lucky to have them—highly, highly recommend!

• 5Luxor Day trips- Valley of the kings n queens, karnak temple, Luxor temple, temple of hatsheput, Collosi if Memnon

  We had an absolutely incredible experience exploring the wonders of Luxor with our tour guide “Reem”. She made our entire journey even more special. She explained the stories behind the temples and tombs in an engaging and clear way. Every wall carving, hieroglyph, burial chamber had meaning and Reem main sure we truly understood and appreciated what we saw. She was also patient, friendly and attentive to our pace and interests. If you are planning to visit Luxor, I highly recommend Reem.

About Luxor

Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.

On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
