Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

An avenue of human headed sphinxes of over one and a half miles (3 km) once connected the temples of Karnak and Luxor. This road was used once a year during the Opet festival when the Egyptians paraded along it carrying the statues of Amun and Mut in a symbolic re-enactment of their marriage. At Luxor temple Amun was magically transformed into Min the god of fertility. Around 1,350 sphinx statues are thought to have lined this road together with barque chapels stocked with offerings. Queen Hatshepsut (1479-1425 BC) built six of these chapels. Each of which had a precise function such as to cool the oar of Amun or to receive the beauty of Amun.

The balloon portion of this trip was disappointing- we took off after sunset as they were monitoring the winds. We also drifted East so did not go over any historical sites, just farmland. The second portion of the trip with our guide Khalid totally made up for it though! With advanced degrees in Egyptology and hieroglyphics he explained so much from the many essential Luxor sites and was so helpful and accommodating. He took some great photos for us (knows all the fun angles). I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide any time!!

We are returning from Hurghada, making contact before leaving with Yohana
to book our excursions to the pyramids, Luxor, Sindbad, Paradise Island,
Everything went very, very well, very friendly and reassuring, Yohana contacted the drivers or guides during excursions like in Cairo upon arrival at the airport to ensure that we were with the right driver! Top.
So happy that we asked him to take a hot air balloon ride,
he managed to organize it for us the next day, we highly recommend it.
Speaks French very well and is a good listener because we wanted to do Orange Bey which he advised us against because the same thing as Paradise Island so super correct!
The prices seem consistent to us given what we find elsewhere.
Thanks to Yohana and her entire team (drivers, guides etc...)
we had an excellent stay in Egypt a little greasy to you!!!

Had a fantastic day with Ragab which included a wonderful balloon flight at sunrise then a tour of the important sites of Luxor . He gently introduced us to the various topics without giving us a lecture. We were entertained for the whole day absorbing information without realising it. He has a great understanding of the ancient Egyptians, instantly answering any question we threw at him but keeping things on a light note. It was one of the best tours we’ve been on.

The sunrise hot air balloon ride with the King Tut Balloons company was phenomenal. Our guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable, courteous and funny! Definitely recommend this company if you are interested in a hot air balloon ride to get a good view of the West Bank of Luxor or if it is first experience riding one.

After the hot air balloon ride we met up with our guide and Egyptologist Ragab who gave us an excellent tour of the East and West Bank in Luxor. He was very knowledgeable, answered any question we had and is also a great photographer/knows the good places to get pictures. I would definitely recommend Ragab and this tour if you are wanting to experience Luxor and its history, which was perfect for us since we were in town for a short amount of time.

Great experience, great guide, good lunch.
Best tour in Luxor. Start’s earlier, about 5am, and we must be prepared to the hard conditions of weather (43ºc), but at the end it was very interesting and complete.
