Luxury Tours Egypt 110% Satisfaction My wife and I booked a 3-day Siwa Oasis trip with Luxury Tours Egypt. Little did we know that the owner of the company, Mo Tolba, would be our tour leader and his good friend, Eslam Ali, would be our driver for this adventure. These two did everything they could possibly do to make this a trip of a lifetime.This trip is run by an OUTSTANDING company that understands what their guests are looking for. From the western desert dunes to the breathtaking feeling of the salt lake, this activity exceeded all our expectations. Our guide Tolba is attentive, fun, honest and truly the kindest person you'll ever meet. We enjoyed our time so much with Luxury Tours Egypt that we quickly booked another trip with them for the day after we returned to Cairo. Million stars +++++

Siwa✊ I had a phenomenal experience in Siwa. The people, the culture, the desert—everything was enchanting. As someone who loves history, people, and nature, this place completely met my expectations, even exceeded them. I felt very safe, and we started and ended our journey without any issues.Now, something about my guide. Mr. Amn was extremely professional. He made an effort to show me Siwa as it truly is. Alongside the Siwa Oasis, he definitely had a significant influence on the memories and lessons I will carry with me in my heart for the rest of my life.

The Land of Awe Inspiring Vistas and History Eslam was a wonderful tour guide and I thoroughly enjoyed the many experiences on the trip to Siwa. Eslam had a great sense of humour, thoughtful and attentive in a genuine and respectful manner. I had mobility issues , which he assisted with easily. This made the activities possible and more enjoyable ...

One of my best memories of Egypt Took the 4 Day 3 Night to Siwa Our amazing Guide/Driver Eslam Ali was prompt and professional in communicating with us before Pickup. Everything about the tour seemed tailor-made, The lodging, restaurants, and itinerary events and places were worth the trip (by car) from Cairo. From Pick-up to Drop-off it was everything we wanted and expected. Will definitely contact Eslam next time I visit Egypt, He went out of his way so many times for us

Thanks Eslam best guide of Siwa 😎 I had a private tour with Eslam Ali. He was an amazing guide and a very good driver. He sorted out everything for us to feel comfortable and safe as I had my American friend with me. He didn't make us feel pushed or always hasty like other guides, He was very relaxed and very friendly. I will not forget how he went back and forth to support us with our needs. Thanks for the memory.
