I met Ahmed Hamada in 2010 when my daughter and I first visited Egypt. We were lucky to have Ahmed as our guide in Luxor for 2 days. He was the best tour guide of the entire trip.  Usually when I travelled I did my own research and preferred to be on my own. I found out how much I had been missing by not using a guide. My daughter was studying         Egyptology at her university. As an Egyptologist, Ahmed shared so much of his knowledge with my daughter giving her an opportunity to explore what she had already learned in class. He was more than happy to answer all our questions. He has a great "story telling" style that makes everything come alive. I could imagine being back in ancient Egyptian times. He really went the extra mile to provide a really great experience for both of us. He was so kind to make sure all the arrangements for the rest of our trip were in order. Now it is almost 9 years later and my daughter is in her last year of her doctorate program in Egyptian Art and Archeology. Ahmed has been my tour guide for other historic sites in and around Luxor. The most recent being July 2018 and January 2019. I would highly recommend Ahmed Hamada as a tour guide.
