Explore Luxor in Two Half-Days with an English Tour Guide and Air-Conditioned Car

Summary: ルクソールで、人柄の素晴らしいタクシードライバーに出会いました。アラー君という青年です。 所有車両はすべてエアコン完備です。タクシー車両は４名まで乗車可能で三菱Lancer　Sharkとトヨタカローラ　リムジン。ミニバスは１１名まで乗車可能でトヨタハイエースです。 WhatsAppで英語でのメッセージが出来ることがとても良かったです。 私たちはルクソール西岸の各所をアラー君の手配でまわりましたが、例えば、じっくりと貴族の谷を観光したり、メディネトハブでは駐車が難しい人気観光地なので出口に向かう頃にメッセージして迎えに来てもらったりしました。 英語でコミュニケーションが取れるので、ストレスなしに思い通りの観光をすることができました。 アラー君は英国在住経験があるので英語が堪能です。また、日本企業と働いた経験もあるので、日本人の気質も良く理解してくれています。親日家です。 さらに古代エジプト文明にも理解が深く、観光地の情報もしっかりしていて、イシス女神を愛し、とても穏やかな性格です。 今回は日帰りでの観光でのタクシー利用でしたが、アラー君は日帰りや宿泊セットでハルガダやアビドスなども帯同してくれるそうです。 次回のエジプト旅行では、アラー君とアビドス、デンデラへ２泊旅行を計画しています。 誠実な人柄、運転技術は最高、快適な車両、流暢な英語、それでいて金額はリーズナブルです。 アラー君のおかげでルクソール観光が快適でした。強くお勧めします。 In Luxor, we met a cab driver with a great personality. He is a young man named Alaa. All of his vehicles are air-conditioned. The cab vehicles are a Mitsubishi Lancer Shark and a Toyota Corolla Limousine that can accommodate up to 4 passengers. His minibus can accommodate up to 11 passengers and is a Toyota Hi-ace. The convenience of being able to message in English via WhatsApp was very nice. We went around various places in the west bank of Luxor by Alaa's arrangement, for example, we took our time to visit the tombs of the nobles. Medinet Habu is a popular tourist destination where it is difficult to park, so I messaged him to pick us up when we were heading for the exit. Since we could communicate in English with him, we were able to sightsee as we wanted without stress. Mr. Alaa is fluent in English because he has lived in the UK for a short period. He also has experience working with Japanese companies, so he understands the Japanese nature very well. He is a friendly person to Japan. He also has a deep understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization, is well informed about tourist destinations, loves the goddess Isis, and has a very calm personality. This time we used the cab for a day trip for sightseeing, but Alaa will also accompany us to Hurghada or Abydos for a day trip or overnight set trip. On our next trip to Egypt, we are planning a 2-night trip to Abydos and Dendera with Mr. Alaa. He has a sincere personality, excellent driving skills, a comfortable vehicle, fluent English, and a reasonable price. Thanks to Mr. Alaa, we had a pleasant tour of Luxor. Highly recommended.

Summary: I had a great experience exploring Luxor with our guide, Peter. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, especially when discussing sites like the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. His insights added depth to our understanding of the ancient culture and landmarks. Peter was approachable and ready to answer any questions we had. I appreciated that he took the time to listen to our interests and adjusted the tour to fit our preferences. He also provided helpful tips for navigating the area and recommended some nice places for meals. Overall, Peter made our visit to Luxor enjoyable and informative. If you're looking for a guide in Luxor, I would recommend reaching out to him.

Summary: Pros:  Peter is a good guide. Good value for the price. Overall, Peter is knowledgeable about the region, happy to answer questions, and friendly. It was nice to have a guide to show you where things are and what to look for. Con: Unexpectedly, we stopped at a store where if you don't buy anything, the store employees try to give you a small rock and ask for tips. Tell him no markets if you don't want to spend time shopping.  If you book, make sure you buy the extra ticket in the Valley of the Kings for Seti 1's tomb. I promise you won't regret it. If you run low on time because you could spend all day there, stay and skip the Memnon statues.
