We contacted Kamel the evening before our sunset felucca ride. He answered promptly and we agreed on a price and departure time. Shortly before our appointed time, Kamel was in touch to give us our captain’s information. We thoroughly enjoyed our felucca ride with Captain Ahmed. He was very professional, friendly, polite, informative and fun. He’s a great sailor and captain and made our trip very memorable. Thank you Kamel and Ahmed!
Kamel runs a reliable tour company. My family and I are from Australia and we contacted him on the day of our arrival and everything was organized promptly. We did sunset felucca cruise, hot air balloon , 2 full day driver hire and a transfer to Hurghada I would definitely use him again if I come back
Amazing experience thanks to Kamel. He was the most attentive guide I had during my Egypt trip, he a showed us with passion his land and his culture, organized a romantic ambiance on his boat and provided us a ton of attention. Thank you for this experience.
Kamel was a wonderful host. I was a bit hesitant because of the low number of reviews - but the service was incredible and 5 star for sure. It was a great experience. The boat, sunset and mint tea was amazing. This was by far my favourite activity during this trip to Egypt. Kamel is a star, very helpful, and a genuine guide. Highly recommend !!
Located outside Steigenberger Resort Achti, we booked a couple of trips with Kamal. One being a 2-3 hr trip across the Nile to see likes of banana island and down the Nile to see some viewpoints. He also gave us the choice of going on a sailboat rather than a motorboat (better for the environment). The following day he arranged a day trip for us to see the West Bank including the valley of the kings and 3 other top spots. Plus recommendations on the best places to see based off previous tourist experience and his own. This included transportation across the Nile, car transport around West Bank and when we had finished, food on the Nile (which was amazing) and a relaxing sunset. Friendly guy, didn’t hassle us and made our trips in Luxor one to remember!
