Guide Bio
I am an English speaking tour guide and Egyptologist. I was born and raised in Luxor, Egypt and 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 worked for many international tour companies. I am a licensed tour guide and I enjoy working as a tour guide. I enjoy meeting new people but also it is exciting for me to connect with Egyptian archaeology and connect with civilization, show the real life in Egypt, and share with others my experience. I believe the tour guide isn’t a recorder but an excellent tour guide is like an actor – he sends a message through a way of creation. I can arrange tailor-made trips for groups or individuals based on your own interests and budget. I travel with my guests whenever possible. If another guide is necessary, I refer only to guides with similar credentials and excellent standards.

The airport pick up that George organized for us worked perfectly. George was waiting for us in just outside the airport and the car that we used was modern, comfortable and in good condition. The driver was calm and not aggressive.

Gerges was very punctual and responsive to my time constraints. He was also very knowledgeable the thorough during the tour. He was able to customize the content and provided me with enough context, so that I could better understand what I was seeing. I highly recommend him. He does a great job, and he cares about his customers.

Gerges was very professional and considerate of our diverse needs, as we were travelling with small children and grandparents. We had only a half-day with him, but we managed to pack in a lot, thanks to his expertise. Many thanks.

George is a very informative tour guide, and going with him was a great way to efficienctly see everything I wanted to see in a manageable time frame. He picked me up on time from the train station and we headed directly to the West Bank, followed by the East Bank and Luxor/Karnak temples. He provides a great background and color to what you see, and I would highly recommend going with him.

George is a brilliant guide. Always attentive, he looked after me, and my family, very well during our trip to Luxor. He was a source of good information and made sure we got the best out of our trip round many of the great sites of Luxor. I would thoroughly reccomend him to anyone travelling to this magnificent place.

We highly recommend Gerges (George) as a tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, great with our kids and extremely attentive to our needs. Did a great job explaining the various aspects of the temples and showing us the highlights. After the tour he helped us check in at our hotel as we were an early arrival.
