The blue and white colors on the walls inside the burial chamber are very vibrant and you can see the king's sarcophagus made of rose-colored granite.

Ahmed Aziz is an amazing guide. He made sure we would get to the best places when there were the fewer people. He was available to answer any questions about Egyptian history and day to day life. If you are on a tight agenda in Luxor I truly recommend this tour!

Saber was our tour guide. He arrived promptly to pick us up and we were on our way to thee sites! Before each spot, he sat down with us and explained what we were about to see in each tomb, or each area. Although the tour guides are not allowed to enter the tombs, he made our check in spot very easy for us to locate him after we were done with each one. Saber took us to an Alabaster factory where the men were working on handmade pieces from the precious stone. It's a family business and the great-grandfather of the owner were the first ones to discover King Tut's Tomb! For lunch we stopped at restaurant overlooking the Nile and the food was delicious! Right after we took a short boat ride across the Nile and met our driver to see Karnak!

Khalid is very enthusiastic about his subject, he has a wealth of knowledge and is more than happy to explain or answer questions. He gave a very interesting day, picking me up from the airport with the driver, doing the tour and returning me to the airport at the end of the day. At each stop he explained the story but also allowed time for me to look at the site on my own. His suggestions of tombs to visit were spot on and I was very pleased with my day with Khalid and driver. Thanks very much.

From the minute Khalid and our driver picked us up at the airport we were completely spoilt. Excellent attention to detail and a thorough knowledge of the Valley of the Kings and temple. Nothing was too much to ask for and he even stopped to quickly help me buy some Egyptian cotton on the way. Thank you so much for a lovely day and cannot recommend Khalid enough :)
