General Information

We strive to provide a more friendly, personal experience for your visit, especially here in Luxor. We can provide tailor made tours therefore allowing you flexibility and the time to explore at your own pace.
We feel that we are contributing to the local economy by using local guides and services. We are not further lining the pockets of big tour operators from abroad.
You will have the opportunity to meet local people and enjoy their hospitality and friendliness.

Shopping
We can organise escorted shopping trips, helping you to avoid the hassle which goes with the territory here. Haggling is required for any purchase, even bottled water! We can ease this experience and teach you to understand the culture of this haggling process.
