28 Reviews Price was 60LE for 1hr at sunset after some bargaining. Captain's name was this young guy called Mohammed and boat name was Shangri-La - out look for the Bob Marley picture on the the main sail - his boat docks opposite Luxor temple. Highly recommended. Aim to start the cruise around 4.30pm latest...

21 Reviews A great way to see the Valley of the Queens is to hire a balloon and see it from above. It is a spectacular site from above and should not be missed. For over two centuries, since its beginnings in France and well before the invention of the airplane, ballooning has been an exciting form of travel....
10 Reviews Known as the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramses II, who reigned for 67 years, is considered one of the most elaborate in the Necropolis of Thebes.

17 Reviews The workers that built the great tombs of the Pharaohs lived in a village not far from the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. Many tombs have been discovered here. The workers tombs at Deir el-Medineh are well worth a visit. They are not in the same league as the tombs in the Valley of...

19 Reviews Though the train is very good, almost runs on time, but the food and service part is worst for a tourist train like this and the fare. The attendant will listen to our request but always ask for a tip in USD or in Egyptian Pound as he knows that the passengers are in First Class. What they can do...
16 Reviews The public ferry on the east bank (central luxor) is located between the Winter Palace Hotel and the Mummification Museum and right at the back of the Luxor Temple. So if you're in Luxor Temple, just walk around its back. Now, when you arrive at the corniche and about to go down the stairs to the...
21 Reviews A good hotel in Luxor is a must as it is will be your safe haven away from the 'hassle' tourists often get on the streets and in the town. From the moment you arrive in Luxor EVERYONE wants to be your friend and they'll follow you down the road with their well rehearsed sales pitches - trying to get...
8 Reviews Be careful how you handle horse carriage rides in and around Luxor. Sometimes the driver may stop at a gift shop to get you to buy souvenirs along the way. (This scam has been planned and well thought out!). Sometimes the driver will stop and pick-up the "Real Owner" of the horse and carriage. The...
6 Reviews We hadn't anticipated just how hot the sun woulld get in Luxor and although we took two full bottles of factor 50 sun block we soon ran out. I went to a local chemist and bought some Nivea factor 60 and it was quite expensive. We all applied it and then we all burned for the first time on the...
17 Reviews In our way back from the Valley of Kings, we stopped in a stone factory with some appealing statues in its front, where we bought a wonderful head in lapis-lazuli (not cheap). As a reward, the owner offered my kids two neckless of small beads, also in lapis-lazuli - he said and... it seemed. They...
5 Reviews I must have gone to the other mummifcation museum, 1 human - 1 baboon - 1 cat - 1 bird - 1 crocodile. Some tools and mummification materials, all poorly described in my opinion. about 100 items in total, which can all be seen and read in 20 mins. Do yourself a favour and give it a miss.
8 Reviews This is one of my «from the bus» pictures. It was shot during my first encounter with the grand and divine Nile river on my way from Hurghada to Luxor. I grew up on two beautiful rivers, Sava and Danube, but the Nile is something else. It is the longest river in the world, with water colors that...
14 Reviews No doubts about, the whole complex of Karnak is amazing achievement of an extraordinary civilisation which excisted three of four thousands year ago. I always wonder what will left after us who live nowadays, could one modern skycraper survive after three of four Hundred years, I doubt it. If not by...

We were in Luxor last month with a local company Red Sea Reisen. It was a lovely trip! The guide had an excellent knowledge about the history of the places as well as about the customs and traditions in Egypt. He explained us everything in detail and answered all our questions. From all the sights we visited, I think our highlight was the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (we remember it from the Asterix and Obelix movie :D). The temperatures in November were moderate and we couldn't complain about the heat. We booked an optional trip to Banana Island as well, it was quite interesting. Luxor has a lot to offer and it's worth at least two days to visit all the sights and to have more time for observing them. We're thinking to make a 2-day private trip to Luxor next year :)
