Luksor

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights because of my schedule, but if time had permitted, I would have extended it to 4 days and 3 nights to visit Abu Simbel as well. Going on tours during the day and then lying back on the rooftop from around lunchtime, tanning, drinking beverages, and enjoying the view is simply the best. Even if you aren't fluent in English, the dedicated staff member takes care of you constantly via WhatsApp (this was the absolute best part; they reached out to me first every single day from the day before boarding until the end, asking if anything was uncomfortable and resolving any issues immediately). The guide might be hit or miss, but I was extremely satisfied.

Overall, I am satisfied. The guides and coordinators were mostly very kind. I was very grateful for the quick responses during our prior communications. However, I would have liked a more detailed schedule. If I had known there would be time to explore the cities in Aswan on day 1 and Luxor on day 3, I believe I could have spent my time more productively. It was unfortunate that the quality of the guides varied, and on one occasion, for transportation, we had a carriage transfer where we were asked for a higher-than-average tip.

The Aswan High Dam was a very interesting stop, and the guide explained its history and importance to us. The cruise was comfortable, the food was good, and the crew was very friendly. An unforgettable trip along the Nile.

Dzisiejszy dzień był bardzo udany. Choć byliśmy mocno zmęczeni wczesną pobudką ze względu na lot balonem, to dzięki połączonym wycieczkom podróżowanie było bardzo wygodne.

Watching the hot air balloons at sunrise is as beautiful as a painting, well worth the price. Everyone should definitely try this experience in Luxor; you'll regret it if you miss out.

Mieliśmy niesamowite doświadczenie podczas 2-dniowej prywatnej wycieczki po wschodnim i zachodnim brzegu Luksoru z transferami. Mohamed był doskonałym przewodnikiem — bardzo kompetentnym, przyjaznym i profesjonalnym przez całą podróż. Upewnił się, że zobaczyliśmy wszystkie główne miejsca bez pośpiechu i wyjaśnił historię w bardzo wciągający sposób. Wszystko było doskonale zorganizowane i punktualne od początku do końca. Prywatny transport był bardzo wygodny, a posiadanie prywatnego samochodu sprawiło, że doświadczenie było relaksujące i przyjemne, zwłaszcza w upale Luksoru. Zapewniony lunch był również pyszny i przekroczył nasze oczekiwania. Naprawdę doceniliśmy dbałość o szczegóły i troskę, abyśmy mieli wspaniałe doświadczenie. Gorąco polecam tę wycieczkę każdemu, kto odwiedza Luksor, a zwłaszcza polecam Mohameda za uczynienie podróży tak niezapomnianą!

Naprawdę podobała mi się wycieczka. Była niesamowita i komfortowa. Pan Ahmed to fantastyczny i bardzo dobry przewodnik. Naprawdę miłe doświadczenie w Luksorze.

The itinerary was very well organized. The driver was polite, drove safely, and kept the vehicle clean and comfortable throughout the journey. Our guide, Mohammed, was professional, friendly, and considerate. He made it easy for us to understand local culture and customs, allowing us to focus on enjoying the historical sites without worrying about logistics. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history was impressive, and his clear explanations brought the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon to life. What seemed like ancient ruins became fascinating stories that deepened our appreciation of Egypt’s remarkable civilization. The lunch was also excellent. We highly recommend Black Camel Tours and would gladly choose them again on a future visit to Egypt. Thank you for a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience.

Booked 3 days before arriving in Luxor. A practical and convenient way to explore the West Bank! They picked us up at 5 AM sharp and followed the itinerary as planned. One thing I wasn’t too happy about was the unexpected stop at a random shop for a “welcome drink.” I couldn’t help wondering if it was a commission-based stop to encourage tourists to buy marble, glassware or souvenirs, especially since it wasn’t part of the original itinerary. 🤔 Entrance tickets to the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple are not included, so you’ll need to pay for those separately. I really liked the Egyptologist, though! He was very knowledgeable and explained the history well. The transportation was clean and comfortable, too. However, I wasn’t quite sure why we were expected to tip the driver extra on top of what we had already paid.
