    Pola is the Ramses II of Tour Guides

    I literally tripped over Poula (or Pola as he described himself to me via What'sApp) I was looking for a driver and found a Reddit feed that praised a guy named Shady. (I know, right?) Anyway, we went back and forth on price (it's the Egyptian way) and said his "brother" Pola would be acting as a guide. On the day they picked me up, Shady was no longer in the picture, there was another driver, nice guy, no English and Pola was heading the expedition and informed me he and "Shady" were not brothers. (Again; it's the Egyptian way). So already starting off a little sketchy, but, nice car and everything turned out wonderfully. Pola is extremely well informed, has a wonderful sense of humor and a legitimately nice man. Made the trip seemless and enjoyable. I usually don't employ guides, but in this place, it's kinda' mandatory. Makes things go a lot smoother. I recommend Pola highly. (He also helped me negotiate the purchase of some trinkets which saved me a bunch.). Great guy...M.

    An Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Egypt – Thanks to Poula!

    An Unforgettable Journey Through Ancient Egypt – Thanks to Poula! We had the pleasure of touring Egypt with our guide, Poula, during our family trip in December 2024 and January 2025, and I can honestly say he made our experience unforgettable. Traveling with my wife and child, we were looking for someone who was knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, and Poula exceeded all of our expectations. He guided us through the incredible sites of Luxor, including the magnificent temples, the Valley of the Kings, and many other historic landmarks, bringing thousands of years of history to life with fascinating stories and detailed explanations. Our journey continued to Aswan and the breathtaking Abu Simbel Temple, where Poula’s passion for Egyptian history and culture made every visit even more meaningful. He was always professional, punctual, well-organized, and attentive to our family’s needs, ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. What impressed us most was his ability to make history interesting for both adults and children. He answered every question with enthusiasm, shared local insights, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the trip. If you’re planning a visit to Egypt and want an exceptional guide who is knowledgeable, friendly, reliable, and truly passionate about his country, I highly recommend Poula. He turned an amazing vacation into a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are incredibly grateful for the memories he helped us create. Thank you, Poula! We hope to return to Egypt one day and tour with you again.

    An Unforgettable 3 Days in Luxor with Poula

    We spent three wonderful days in Luxor with Poula as our tour guide, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. Poula was exceptional, not only as a knowledgeable guide who provided fascinating and detailed insights into Luxor's rich history, but also as someone who helped us organize our entire stay. From picking us up at the airport over organizing a hot air balloon trip to arranging our transfer to Marsa Alam at the end of our trip, he made everything seamless and stress-free. Together with Poula (and Nana), we visited the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the Valley of the Workers, the Colossi of Memnon, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and the magnificent Karnak Temple. At every site, Poula shared detailed historical background and not only showed us the famous highlights but also many hidden gems that most visitors would likely miss without such an experienced guide. If I ever return to Luxor, Poula will definitely be my first choice again. Thank you for the unforgettable experience and the wonderful time we spent with you!

    Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert?

    +

    Included: Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Admission fees. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Luxor Highlights Private Guided Tour with an Expert include hotel pickup?

    +
