“We really enjoyed our tour with Shimaa to Philae and the temple of Isis. We learned a lot of interesting things about the temple itself and the history of the last of the Egyptian period and the Romans who came later followed by Christian’s who lived there for over a hundred years. She has a great knowledge of history and made our excursions all the more interesting.”

Her knowledge of Luxor’s ancient wonders – like the stunning Hatshepsut Temple, the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings, and that other massive temple (we honestly didn’t even need to look up its name because she made it unforgettable!) – is nothing short of amazing. What really set Damiana apart, though, was how she made history come alive. Instead of just rattling off facts, she wove the…”

“Our trip was phenomenal. Jam-packed with excursions and activities. We saw so much of Egypt in such a small time. We thought the pyramids were going to be our favorite, but this took the cake. Ahmed (Luxor/ 2 days): Was extremely informative and passionate when he told his stories. He was receptive whenever we had questions and always looked out for our best interests. Marcos (Aswan/2 days): Made our trip super convenient and went off without a hitch. He ensured we never were swindled during purchases, had a wealth of knowledge and had a great sense of humor. My mother and I laughed for two days straight. Mohammed (Abu Simbel/1…”
