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.

General Information
Baksheesh/Tipping
This is part of everyday life
in Egypt. Many locals, probably the majority, live on or
below the breadline. Tipping can make a massive difference
to the life of a family. Tip for any service you receive if
you are happy with it. Tip with 1LE, 5LE and 10LE notes
depending on the type of service you have had. Just bear in
mind as an example that a headteacher here earns around 50
English pounds per month!!!!

If you are looking for
property to rent, buy or renovate, then we are in a position
to help you. Just ask us for more information.
Interested in Golf
Challenge yourself on a
desert course, one of the best in Egypt. Start times early
or late. All equipment available for hire, it’s just a phone
call away.
