Incredible and huge temples, with a full explanation about them. Thank you thank you thank you
The tour was amazing and I really enjoyed Luxor. Our tour guide was really nice and tried to explain the Egyptian history as clearly as he could. He was very polite and very professional in every way. The food at the local restaurant for lunch was really tasty.
