Mohamed abdel Hamid Private tour guide in Luxor, Aswan, Cairo - Egypt

Mohamed abdel Hamid

Guide profile:

I was born and raised here in Luxor Egypt and have been visiting the Pharonic tombs and temples my whole life, and I am still fascinated with them.

I am passionate about sharing my hometown with visitors. I work primarily in Luxor and Upper Egypt; but I also travel throughout Egypt. I believe that the best sites in Egypt are right here in Luxor, and love to share the history and culture of my country.

I have ten years experience as a tour guide, and have worked for many international tour companies.I a licensed guide with memberships in the Egyptian General Tourist Guides Syndicate and the WFTGA. I am also an Egyptologist graduated from Cairo University, Hotels and Tourism section.

Mohamed's team was fantastic and I highly recommend them for anyone! I had two days with his team and saw Luxor, Abydos, and Dendera. His team was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable about Egyptian history, culture, and the sites. I was touring by myself actually but his team made me feel very comfortable and right at home in Luxor! Thanks again for a great time - I love Egypt!

Our guide Mohamed in Luxor was excellent. He gave us exactly what we expected and was extreemly well informed and professional. I would give him the highest rating possible and recommend him highly.

Tour Guide Comment: I so pleased you all enjoyed your tours, and we will see you in Luxor some day too I am sure.

5 stars Steve C. 19 Jul 2010

Mohamed was great! He has a tremendous knowledge of the Egyptian dynasties and does a good job explaining it. He arranged a great tour for our group. We had one senior citizen in the group and he was well taken care of. I would recommend Mohamed to others who want to visit the Luxor area. If I ever return to Luxor, I would look to Mohamed to be my guide again! Thanks Mohamed!

Tour Guide Comment: Hello Steve, Thanks so much, its great to hear from you. We are happy that your tours went well, and welcome you back to Egypt anytime.

5 stars Alan H. 05 Dec 2009

Mohamed was an excellent tour guide. He was at the hotel on-time and ready to head to the West Bank. Although we had visited before, he was happy to show us parts we had not seen.

We missed the hoardes of tourists and even had some of the tombs to ourselves.

Perfect English and a nice sense of humour.

Would not hesitate in using him again on our next visit.

Tour Guide Comment: Hi Alan, I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tours with me Look forward to meeting you again

5 stars Jeanne R. 29 Nov 2009

Hamed put us in touch with John who was our guide for 3 wonderful days. John was very knowledgeable, made sure we saw the highlights, but was very willing to adjust to meet our preferences. He was totally focused on making it the best visit for us. We had other guides in Cairo who made us appreciate John. You could not ask for a better guide.

Tour Guide Comment: Hi Jeanne, Thank you for that nice review and hope to see you again

Excellent guide and driver. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, seeing everything we wanted to at our own pace. Ahmed was very informative but did not confuse us with too much detail. Had an excellent lunch of local food.

Would not hesitate in recommending to anyone visiting Egypt.

I think Luxor would be difficult and time consuming without a private guide. He ensured the timing of visits to miss the hordes and we were dropped off as close as possible.

We had humour too! Thank you Ahmed.

Tour Guide Comment: Hi Christine, I am happy that your tour with Ahmed went well. Hope to meet you next time

Mohamed provided good communication, always picking us up from the hotel in time, and even arranged airport transfers for a good price. I could not fault Mohamed / Eye of Horus in any aspect, and the free Feluca ride on the last day, when after knowing I have alot of sailing experience, really finished off the tours in a nice way. The tours were not rushed, and the guides always had time to answer questions. I would definitely recommend, and come back for more. Stuart

Tour Guide Comment: Hi Stuart, I am happy that you enjoyed your tours in Egypt. Hope you can come back again.

We found Mohamed to be punctual, the transport vehicle was excellent. We had a wonderful time with Mohamed, his English was first class. He was calm and a very friendly person. We felt totally relaxed. The information he gave us about the sites was very interesting (I have had guides in Luxor before and some can get rather boring and you can end up feeling like you are listening to a guide book) This was not the case with Mohammed. I would happily recommend him to anybody.

Tour Guide Comment: Hi Carole. Glad you enjoyed your tours. Hope to see you in Luxor again. -Mohamed

We really enjoyed our day in Luxor with Mohamed. This was our first vacation out of the U.S. and we were a little nervous about leaving the tour group and going out on our own (also, a little nervous about hiring someone off the internet). Mohamed had quickly responded to all our questions by e-mail before our trip and he met us in the lobby of the cruise ship the morning of our tour and he was very helpful. We were able to see about five or six additional sites that the group didn’t see, incl

Tour Guide Comment: Gerald and Pat, is was great to meet you in Luxor. I wish you many more happy travels:) -Mohamed

I booked a half day tour of Luxor and a full day tour of Abydos and Dendera. The guides were ok, they seemed like they were just doing their job though, the bare minimum. Took us around the temples of Karnack, Abydos and Dendera for 30 min and then left us alone to take photos ourselves. We could not take photos very easily together just 1 at a time, and so a lot of the guards at the temples were harassing us and insisting we pay them to take our photos. Which was annoying.

Tour Guide Comment: Hello Veronica, David and Val I am happy to hear that your tours went well the 1st day and the 3rd day, sorry about the guide of the 2nd day, I will not be using him any more ever. I appreciate that you take the time to let me know what is not working well

2 stars David T. 27 Dec 2009

Of the 3 tours booked we cancelled the last day because of a terrible 2nd day.ie guide did not speak or understand English and new very little about his subject.We did not get Mohamed who we thought we had booked on either day 1 or 2.

1 stars Val B. 27 Dec 2009

We did not get Mohammed for our tours. The first tour was excellent, the second a disaster because we were sent out with a 'guide' who did not know the temples, gave wrong information & had v poor English. We therefore cancelled our 3rd tour. We did not get the service we paid for & can only describe our second tour as a 'nightmare'. DO check out your guide before leaving base. Gave Mohammed chance to say this won't happen again - he has not taken it sadly.
