Luxor was great, the people are great apart from them feeling that all people from the UK are millionaires. I spent time on the hot air balloons, valley of the kings and queens and loads of time on the nile just relaxing on the felluca's. It was one of the most enjoyable holidays i've been on. I stayed at the Sheraton hotel which is great because it's not right in the centre of luxor where it's loud and bustling all the time, but at the same time you can get to those areas within 10mins. If you are good at haggling and getting on with the locals before you book anythng see what they can do for you. I was quoted £170 for my hot air balloon ride by a tour operator, one of the egyptian guys got myself and a friend a hot air ballon ride for £30 each, all he wanted in return was £5 i jumped at the chance. If you don't know how to mix with the locals though stick to booking thngs through your hotel, more expensive but safer.Luxor, Egypt Luxor My Second Home Rating: 10/10

I cannot praise Luxor enough I just love the place, we have been going there for over 30 years, it has changed a lot, which is a shame in some ways, but the people are still the same some of the friendliest in the world, and make a friend with an egyptian and they are friends for life. The hotel standards are fantastic, and food is wonderful. For a basic hotel the Queens Valley hotel is clean, lovely size rooms, and great staff. Of course the sights are breathtaking Valley of the Kings, and Queens are a must, and Karnak temple is awe inspiring and if you want to go back to Egypt you must walk around the scarab in Karnak "its worked for us". There is also Habu temple which a lot of people miss, but it is has fantastic wall carvings of Ramses. The nile with its felucca's and motor boats, and of course the cruise boats, a felucca ride at sunset is magical. The market which sells anything you want, clothes, spices, food etc, and loads of little coffee shops where if you are inclined can smoke the bubble pipes with a choice of flavours. Of course the weather which is always great with blue skies and sun, 2 weeks is not enough to see everything so I am sure like me you will be hooked and want to see it all and go back and see it all.Luxor, Egypt Rating: 8/10

Luxor is ideal for anyone interested in the history of Egypt, there is so much to see and i had so little time however i did manage to get myself to the Luxor museum where i saw the tomb of Ramesses. The mummification museum was very interesting where you learn about the process they used to use to mummify not only humans but animals as well. Make sure you got your walking boots on for your visit to the Valley of the Kings made even more famous by the discovery of the tomb of Tutenkhamun. This place was really good and the re is also a valley of the Queens which i missed out on but i am guessing that its probably just as good. Luxor is excellent for an informative and exciting holiday. |
