We received this wonderful review from our most recent client.
"Hello KC,
Just to say thankyou for a wonderful experience. Your company delivered everything and more than promised and at very competitive rates. Karim was kind, polite and knowledgeable and no request was too much trouble for him. As well as the scheduled itinerary he accompanied us on an evening search of the markets as my partner was keen to purchase material to bring home and make her own garments. He did this in his own time and would not accept payment, he just wanted us to have had a nice holiday and leave with good memories of Egypt and its people.
He had also arranged our tours of the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor temples with a guide who was first class and an experienced Egyptologist. Bahaa, our guide for these excursions was excellent in his explanations, knowledge and manner.
We enjoyed every moment of our holiday and it was made even more enjoyable and easy by the wonderful service of your company and its efforts on our behalf.
Thankyou.
Best Wishes
Richard & Marinela."
Thank YOU Richard and Marinela!
We can do the same for you. Book a tour with us and we'll take good care of you.
It's heating up here in Luxor, and with everyone out and about doing tours, we just wanted to share some tips for staying healthy.
* WEAR A HAT. This is in caps because it is that important. Don't sacrifice your health for fashion. Heat stroke has never been en vogue. :-)
* Comfort is the name of the game. In these temperatures, wearing tight jeans is like wearing oven mitts. Wear fabrics that breathe and allow you to move. Loose cotton is best. Contrary to popular belief, less clothing (shorts, sleeveless tank tops) does not keep you cooler. What it does is increase the chance that you'll be sunburned. Why not go native? Those local, cotton tops are perfect for both staying cool and respecting the culture.
* Stay hydrated. Bottled water is cheap so drink lots of it. Make sure that the seals around the neck of the bottle are unbroken. You can add a pinch of salt or jazz it up with a lemon slice, BUT
* Don't drink ice cold water in the blazing sun or go directly into air conditioned rooms after coming in from it.
* Avoid ice in drinks.
* Don't overeat. This often happens on the cruises. People often stuff themselves with food at the buffets and suffer the consequences later on.
* Bring antibacterial gel. The money is often filthy, especially the small bills. Keeping your hands clean, especially before you eat, will go a long way.
* Take it easy! I know that we often have a lot to see with limited vacation time, but not allowing your body to acclimate to a different climate/food/time zone throws everything out of whack and can make you sick.
So now, since you're all dressed up in your cool cotton, you've donned your hat, and armed yourself with your bottled water, all that's left to do is book one of our tours. :-) We start early to avoid the worst of the sun, or for a twist, you can try an evening tour. Luxor Temple is beautiful at night.
Let us show you the Luxor we know and love. Book a tour with us. We'll take good care of you. :-)
Karim and KC
This classical itinerary is just a starter to discover the essence of the city. We will leave from the beaten path and head directly into the heart of the historical and cultural wonders that make the city unique.
THE FOUNDING LEGEND:“You will know…it is opposite the land of the blind.”…so said the oracle in Delphi.
-BYZANTINE HIPPODROME :
Heart of Constantinople’s political and sporting life, and the scene of games and riots through 500 years of Ottoman history as well.
Monuments decorating the Hippodrome include the 3500 year old Egyptian Obelisk of Theodosius and the spiral bronze base of a three headed serpent sculpture brought from Delphi in Greece. They stand in contrast with the Fountain of Kaiser Wilhelm II erected in 20th century as a gift to the Ottoman sultan.
-HAGIA SOPHIA AND THE GALLERY
The church of the Divine Wisdom is eternally impressive and important. Its dome was a daring engineering feat in the 6th century and engineers still marvel at the building’s many innovations.
-BASILICA CISTERN:
Beneath Istanbul lie hundreds of gloomy Byzantine cisterns. The Basilica Cistern is the best preserved and the grandest of all. With proper walkways and atmospheric lightening, it deserves a visit.
-CHORA CHURCH:
Originally built in the 4th century as the 'Church of the Holy Savior Outside the Walls' or 'in the Country' (chora), it was indeed outside the walls built by Constantine the Great.
The building you see was built in the late 11th century, with lots of repairs and restructuring in the following centuries.
Virtually all of the interior decoration—the famous mosaics and the less renowned but equally striking mural paintings—dates from about 1320.
The mosaics are breathtaking. Chora is a must see in Istanbul and one of the rare gems away from the crowds.
This tour is the best way to get acquainted with the Old City.
-The Founding Legend:“You will know…it is opposite the land of the blind.”…so said the oracle in Delphi.
-The city with many names: How did Constantinople become Istanbul?
-Hippodrome: The arena that hosted riots,killings,weddings,celebrations, circumcision of princes…always colorful,busy and still the heart of social life.
-Blue Mosque: Only called so in guide books…What is the real name?
-Hagia Sophia: Witness how Emperor Justinian has outdone Solomon and things you should do to convert a church into a mosque.
-Topkapi Palace: The Life of the Ottoman Sultans in the Seraglio.
Built by the “ Grand Turk “ who spoke 6 languages.
The exotic Harem where the women ruled and their jewels hidden away in the Treasury.
-Grand Bazaar:The ultimate medieval shopping center is a monstrous hive of little shops all under one roof and cut up into labyrinthal alleys arched overhead.
The best way of seeing the Bosphorus in all its beauty is to take a trip on a boat.
One of the most beautiful sights in the world, Bosphorus is a strategic waterway connecting the Black sea to the Mediterranean.
As the boat zigzags between Asia and Europe, you will admire the old Ottoman mansions, Emperial palaces and two suspended bridges.
• Maiden’s Tower
• Selimiye Barracks where Florence Nightingale worked.
• Dolmabahçe Palace. The house of the Ottoman monarch after the Topkapi Palace.
• Ortaköy. A chic art-boutique-and-cafe scene with the pretty Ottoman baroque Mecidiye Mosque
• Ç?ra?an Palace. Now a luxury hotel by the Kempinski company.
• Beylerbeyi Palace
• Kuleli Naval Academy
• Arnavutköy with its wooden seaside mansions
• Rumeli and Anadolu Hisar?. The mighty Fortresses of Europe and Asia.
• Bebek. A small village with a pretty bay and Bosphorus University.
• Kucuksu Kasr?. A fine little rococo palace.
• Hidiv Kasr?. Fine Art Nouveau villa of the Khedive of Egypt.
• Sar?yer with a fish market .
