About us

A family business in Luxor

Tariq was born and raised in Luxor and has run tours here for more than ten years. Tariq Tours is a family business: he handles the planning, transport and timing himself, and works with licensed Egyptologist guides who explain the temples and tombs in your language.

You deal with the same small team from your first WhatsApp message to the drive back to your hotel. Tariq speaks Arabic and English, and our guides also work in French, Spanish, German, Italian and Russian.

My favorite thing to show visitors is Luxor Temple at sunset, when the lights come on across the columns, and then a balloon flight over the Nile the next morning. People never forget seeing the monuments from above.

  • Pay the online amount shown on each tour to confirm your date, and the rest in cash on the day. Prices include a booking and payment processing fee. Some excursions do not need a deposit: simply book on WhatsApp and pay on the day.
  • Cancel at least 48 hours before your tour for a full deposit refund; cancellations within 48 hours and no-shows are not refunded, but the deposit can be transferred once to another day within 1 month.
  • If we can't run your tour on your chosen date, we'll offer another date or refund your deposit in full.
  • If weather cancels your balloon flight, choose another morning or get your full deposit back; midweek prices stay valid for another Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and moving to Saturday through Tuesday means paying the weekend price difference.
