Luxor Nightlife

Whenever you go abroad, there is a Brit bar.

Luxor is no different.

One of the only places I found that had any sort of nightlife. Includes a very unusual 'Bob Marley Corner'

They also do a range of English meal options, not too bad actually.

Internet, range of beers, pool table, music, food.

Home from home.

In order to respect the culture of the Arab people, you will not see alot of alcohol consumption. Tea and Tobacco are acceptable, but for the most part, there were not any visible "bars" for tourists.

You can however enjoy a Stella Beer on your cruise ship. It by far was the most expensive thing I purchased in all of Egypt.

Not the best beer I ever tasted, but it was decent.

During the dance the dancer will pause and invite some ladies of different nationalities to dance with her! The dancer will also try to teach some tricks/moves to them. Most of the ladies enjoy this. But during the process, the audience miss about 15 mts of pure entertaining Belly Dance! I found people complaining.

Belly dance or Bellydance is a Western-coined name for a traditional Middle Eastern dance, especially raqs sharqi . It is sometimes also called Middle Eastern dance or Arabic dance in the West, or by the Greco-Turkish term çiftetelli .

The term "Belly dance" is a translation of the French "danse du ventre" which was applied to the dance in the Victorian era. It is something of a misnomer as every part of the body is involved in the dance; the most featured body part usually is the hips. Belly dance takes many different forms depending on country and region, both in costume and dance style, and new styles have evolved in the West as its popularity has spread globally. Although contemporary forms of the dance have generally been performed by women, some of the dances, particularly the cane dance, have origins in male forms of performance.

Raqs sharqi is the style more familiar to Westerners, performed in restaurants and cabarets around the world. It is more commonly performed by female dancers but is also sometimes danced by men. It is a solo improvisational dance, although students often perform choreographed dances in a group.

In case you are taking cruise, you should not miss the various parties held on the cruise. One night we had The Galabiya ( The Local Egyptian Dress) party on the Cruise. Please remember , that you are in proper Arab Galabiya dress or your European or Asian dress will do. All the Arab countries have their national dress , which is almost similar but with a difference either near the neck, chest or in the head gear!

Dress Code: In case, you want to dress like Arab, you can either buy or hire it from the Cruise. You can also buy a dress as souvineer. Be careful while buying, they may say 20 , you agree, they he will say in US dollar! Actually it was Egyptian Pound.

Fantastic experience. Narration is done very well by Anthony Hopkins et al. Ticket costs about 100LE for 45mins. Shows run every night in number of different languages so ensure you attend the correct timeslot.
