Ahmed Abdelhamid Private tour guide in Luxor, Aswan, Cairo - Egypt

Ahmed Abdelhamid

Guide profile:

I have been working in and around Luxor for 12 years since graduating from Cairo University as an Egyptologist. I have worked for many international tour companies.

I am member in the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate and the WFTGA.

I was born and raised in Luxor, Egypt , that’s why I know all the places and wonders of my beautiful city, the best sites in Egypt are right here in Luxor.

I love to share my knowledge of ancient Egypt with visitors to Luxor and make it interesting and understandable.

I particularly enjoy touring with families and can always find something interesting for the children.

Ahmed and his brother Mohammad are an amazing team. Book these guys. We wanted for nothing on our 7 day Egypt trip and felt like we were treated like rock stars the whole time.

5 stars Giovanni G. 07 Mar 2013

the tour was amazing!! the only problem was that i had just one day to visit Luxor. I would have liked to spend more days. Anyway the way in which the team of Ahmed has arranged my tour was perfect! maximum flexibility, efficiency and kindness: just what I wanted because I had limited time available. The guide was competent (he has met many of my curiosity about Egyptian history) and the driver always on time.

I hope to have more time in the future to arrange more tour with Ahmed

Choosing Achmed as a guide during our 2 days staying in Luxor was a very good thing, he was a whole day our private guide to see the historical monuments of Luxor ( Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatsjeput, Collosses of Memnon, Temples of Luxor and Karnak + a stone-worplace and a papyrus-shop). His knowledge of the history of Luxor and from the English language is very good,his explanation is very clear and he is a pleasant and social person. The second day ( we had only a half day left to see

Ahmed was a very good tour guide.He asked me what I wanted to see and he was able to take me to all the places.I orginally boked a 5 hr tour and was going to do the rest on my own but he suggested taking me and saving the hasle and haggle of taxis and waiting for buses.He spoke english very good and I was able to understand him.Before entering each sight he gave me background information so I was able to understand more about the temples and tombs.He was very friendly and learned alot.Thank you

5 stars Ivan M. 28 Apr 2012

We just finished one of the best vacations we ever took. The crown on this trip was the visit of several temples and the Valley of the Kings along the Nile between Luxor, Aswan and Dendera. This could not have been better with our guide, Ahmed! His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, wit and excellent English made it so interesting, enjoyable and fun for us. Two thumbs up on a job well done. To all who are interested in taking this trip, Ahmed is THE MAN!

The Tour was amazing what i learnt i didnt expect to learn that much, the knowledge of the tour guide was absolutely amazing, i can not describe in 500 words how good he was & how much he made my trip memorable for life. His english was amazingly spoken & he as a person is funny, kind, caring, honest, helpful - words can not describe this guide, i am already planning a trip back thats how much he made me feel welcome

5 stars Violet B. 12 Mar 2012

Once again Ahmed proved to be invaluable during my visit. He is the best guide that I have ever used, always helpful, always knowledgeable, the patience of a saint especially when being asked question after question. Karnak Temple gets better every visit and Ahmed always finds something new and interesting to tell you. I am happy to recommend him as trustworthy and very professional, book with him and you will not be disappointed.

5 stars Michelle T. 14 Feb 2012

We booked on the full day East and West Bank tour with Ahmed and had an amazing time. Ahmed speaks excellent english and answered all our questions - his knowledge and understanding of Egyptology is fantastic! Ahmed gave us plenty of time to take photos and look around the tombs and temples, always ensuring we had some background information on what we were about to see or were currently viewing. Thanks for a day we will never forget!

5 stars Peter P. 03 Oct 2011

My daughter and I had several antiquities tours in Luxor and Ahmed was an excellent guide. He speaks perfect English, was always prompt, courteous, humorous, friendly and flexible with our itinerary. We felt very comfortable with him but more importantly safe too. Ahmed really opened the world of Egypt’s New Kingdom for us by sharing his fantastic knowledge and pride of his country - a true professional. I give Ahmed my highest recommendation and will definitely use him again on our next trip.

5 stars patricia Y. 26 Jul 2010

Ahmed was a great guide. He spoke perfect English, gave just enough history to keep all the family interested and provided us with some great memories of the wonders of Egypt on our trip. Absolutely no hassle about buying souvenirs and an easy informative way to explore.

5 stars Mark D. 05 Apr 2010

I am delighted to offer my highest reference for Ahmed Abd el Hamid. He was one of the finest tour guides I have ever encountered. He was well educated about the historical significance of all of the Luxor sites and was also very much in touch with the personal needs of our group. Ahmed’s English is excellent and is he is not only a superb guide, but also an excellent teacher. Ahmed would be my first choice if I return to Egypt for future tours.

5 stars Susan F. 29 Jan 2010

Thank you for a great day, Ahmed is very knowledgable and explains things so that you understand. I felt very comfortable he is charming and professional a true gentleman. I felt as if I was back in ancient Egypt to walk where the Pharoa's walked WAW.
