2 Nights Tours Luxor, Aswan, Hot Air Balloon & Abu Simbel by Plane from Cairo

Hany Soliman provided my son and I a wonderful experience. My regret: not adding a 1-3 days to enjoy ALL the sites. Shame on me! Hany, our guide in Aswan and Luxor, along with Waleed, our guide in Abu Simbel, were very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. They did a great job not just explaining what we saw, but the context of what was going on at the time. They included the discoveries and excavations that we are now able to witness. A special bonus was lunch in an Egyptian home and conversing with the family members. So often we tourists only have the tourist experience without the privilege to participate in the culture itself. Our hotels in Aswan and Luxor were nice with the rooms overlooking the Nile River. While in Luxor, make sure you eat at Makka Restaurant which my son found on-line. We simply told the owner we wanted an authentic Egyptian meal. It was our best meal in Egypt and a must-do side excursion very close to our hotel as well as the train station.
