- GlobeTrotting1985110 contributionsEgypts history up close & personalA must in exploring Egypts history. You also get to meet the mummies of pharaohs up close. See artefacts recovered showcasing the beginnings of civilisation from Egyptian perspectives.Written 7 January 2025
- 579emmyt0 contributionsSamar is a great guide.Samar was a fabulous tour guide. In Madinet Habu a couple randomly stopped us after overhearing her talk to us to ask for her contact info because they wanted her for a guide too! She did three days with us: east and west bank of Luxor and Dendera and even took us to fruit stands, falafel stands, and a restaurant when we asked. We would not have learned or seen nearly as much without her expertise and she answered our many questions. I would recommend her for anyone.Written 28 December 2024
- AArider0 contributionsRich culture experience viewing artifacts from historical human civilizationsRich culture experience viewing artifacts from historical human civilizations, including cave, early ancient egyptian, coptic, islamic times. Pharaohs place is a unique collection and experienceWritten 22 November 2024
- W7804UMleog0 contributionsGO TO THE B1 FLOOR WITH AN SPECIAL ARTIFACT WALKThe interior was great with all the artifacts in modern rooms, so everything was organized. There was a special walk through a dark room with lit up artifacts which was pretty cool, and would definitely recommend it!Written 21 October 2024
- Ilona69520 contributionsExcellentSamar was excellent. She has energy, a lot of knowledge of all the excursions we did with her and very enthusiastic. No question was to much and she took always the time for us. She had also a great humor and we liked her very much. Thank you Samar for the great 2 days we spent with you. Clemens and IlonaWritten 14 October 2024
- red_jye0 contributionsWARNING!!!!Although the Old Cairo Museum is amazing and a must see, be careful if you purchase anything in their gift shop. I was tired, and bought a paperback book and cheap necklace and the charge on my card was $369. My fault for not noticing but be aware!!!Written 3 May 2024
- Marmoura_120 contributionsA place worth visiting 👍Very elegant well maintained place with needed services and very cooperative stuff. The museum is an experience you must have in Egypt, you’ll see something that’s not in any place elsewhere. The mummies partition is really majestic. The space design is matching the monuments inside in a complete harmony to help you enjoy each step of your trip. The space is not too huge to make you feel tired yet not too small to be meaningless, just perfect. I’m really project of this place in Egypt. The only downside that it needs more cafes or restaurants specially around the lake.Written 10 April 2024
- G9218ZCadamw0 contributionsRoyal mummies!Beautiful and modern museum. The Royal Mummies exhibit is well done. No pictures allowed of the mummies. The rest of the museum has a few nice pieces. Not very large but well worth seeing.Written 10 March 2024
- andr_der0 contributionsGreat museumMagnificent new museum, a must do when you are here. It has a beautifull collection of the old days but also of the newer days. And a unique collection of Royal Mummies, you must see.Written 16 February 2024
- Cornwallgurl0 contributionsCaught between two stoolsI have wanted to see the Tutankhamen treasures since I was 13 and have managed to miss the two London exhibitions owing to force majeure! I was well aware of the ongoing delays in the opening of the Grand New Egyptian Museum, to which many artefacts have already been moved. I had hoped that the latest opening prediction (Jan 24) would enable me to visit the new one during my recent trip, but no. It now looks like much later this year, but so many predicted openings have come and gone, that I wouldn't hold your breath. Naturally, all the money (as well as many exhibits) has been directed at the new site. Which leaves a splendid old building in a bit of a dire state, with dust everywhere, a shocking lack of labels for many of the remaining exhibits, no printed floor plans, no directed lighting and a very old-fashioned feel. Obviously, packing crates, piles of boxes and so on are to be expected, but the general lack of labelling and directions was disappointing. There are still numerous astonishing items, but their jumbled presentation does not do them justice. Cleverly, just enough of the blingiest bits of the Tutankhamen treasure have been retained here to justify the admission price (not that steep, but rather more than the state of the rest of the museum justifies). The chariots, beds, personal items and one of the tomb guardians have gone, but the modern, well lit and labelled section for the amazing gold (with photography banned, presumably to encourage you to buy a book) is effective. It also shows up the rest of the museum. You were allowed to photograph the tomb guardian, Anubis, canopic casket, throne and the few other remaining large items, but their old glass cases meant heavy reflection and poor images. So visitors to Cairo are currently rather between a rock and a hard place. But nothing can deflect from the breathtaking splendour of the gold sarcophagus, death mask and jewellery.Written 31 January 2024
- normanye10 contributionsWonderful visit with the best tour guideExcellent tour guide that is friendly and knowledgeable, better than others we had in Egypt Samar showed us around Luxor (Kings Valley, Queens Valley, Karnak Temple) and has been giving us very helpful information on the history, religion, culture of Egypt, better than all other guides we had in EgyptWritten 31 December 2023
- hamadam6620 contributionsWonderfullySamar is she wonderful guide and l love her . She about to me the best in a this field ( tourism ) ❤️ in hopes she achieves all the her wishesWritten 1 December 2023
- ThaferG0 contributionsDisappointment of the Egyptian MuseumThe museum houses exquisite artifacts from ancient Egypt, but it was poorly presented, in a state of disrepair, and disrupted by loud tour guides. This collection showcases some of humanity's most stunning discoveries, yet I left thoroughly disheartened by the broken cabinets, dustcovered pieces, and the absence of informational labels.Written 11 October 2023
- browncondo21020 contributionsKonoux Egyptian replica treasuresThis is a newer museum that reflects the various cultural aspects of Egypt’s rich history through adopting aesthetically and technologically advanced methods. It was not as crowded as I had expected it to be. Lots of great items.Written 3 October 2023
- Dewit1970 contributionsWonderfulWhat a wonderful 2 days in Luxor with this amazing guide. Samur was very knowledgeable and also very patient with all our questions. Excellent English made a huge difference. I highly recommend Samur for an all round good experience.Written 30 September 2023

A REVIEW OF OXEN OF EGYPT TOURS
Through our many travels, my wife and I have learned that no matter how grand the destination, a superb tour guide will bring a destination to life and make a trip that much more memorable. Such a guide is Samar. Her warm, open personality (and humor) alone makes the tour thoroughly enjoyable. But it is her knowledge and presentation that elevate the excursion to a higher level. Her English is impeccable and full of nuance that makes the tour more intimate and less rote. Her mastery of Egyptian history is expansive, enthusiastic, and not only includes description and interpretation but a deep appreciation of the art. She was tour guide and art docent but quickly also became a friend to us both. Samar lives life enthusiastically and her joy is infectious.
Samar guided us through the Luxor, Karnak, and Habu temples as well as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Nobles. She joined us as we cruised the Nile on a luxurious Dahabiya and visited the temples at Abydos, Dendera (not to be missed on any visit to Upper Egypt), and Kom Ombos. We stayed in a Nubian village at Abu Simbel, perhaps the most majestic of the ancient structures.
Samar was thorough yet afforded us “free” time to do things on our own or relax. She negotiated with vendors to ensure that we bought souvenirs at a fair price. She enjoyed the delectable foods of Egypt with us at every meal, bringing her joie de vive to the occasion and ensuring that we fell in love with Egyptian cuisine. And she willingly discussed modern Egyptian life with the interested tourist.
We highly recommend Samar as your tour guide in Egypt. And lucky will be the visitor who follows our recommendation.
