Welcome to Luxor, Egypt, the place I call home. My name is Mahmoud "Ocean" Ali. I love sharing my home with our visitors and guests.

I dreamed of becoming a licensed tour guide when I was little and am excited I get to do what I love - helping you experience not only the history of Egypt but its people and culture today. I want you to become an eye witness of history - the past and present.

If there is something you want to see in Egypt, I can help set it up and make it happen. I particularly love showing off the history and people along the Nile River from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel.

I can help you create a tour that fits your budget from private tours to groups.

Feel free to reach out to me. I would love to make Egypt come alive for you.

While the list of possibilities is endless, here are some of the places you shouldn't miss while visiting:

Luxor Temple

Karnak Temple

Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Luxor Valley and Valley of the Kings and Queens

Tombs at the Valley of the Kings

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Nile River Cruise

Felucca Sailboat Ride

Nubian Village

Colossi of Memnon

Temple of Khnum

Temple of Horus

Temple of Kom Ombo

Temple of Philae

Aswan High Dam and Lake Nassar

Twin Temples of Ramses II and Nefartari at Abu Simbel

There are very few places on earth where you can see, feel and experience as much history as you can in Egypt. From the Step Pyramid of Djoser (about 2686 BC) to the modern Grand Egyptian Musuem (2021 AD), you get to step in and out of the past as I try to make the history of Egypt come alive.

I look forward to sharing the stories of the places we visit - from their creation to their re-discovery. You will see first hand how technology and skills improved over centuries from painted plaster impressions to detailed stone carvings and greater architectural feats.

My hope is that you leave Egypt changed for the better. I hope you have a greater appreciation of the history of these places and the people of Egypt today.
