Luxor Condos - Reviews and Rates

Up at 5 am and took one last look at the wondrous sight of the pyramids looming in the early morning haze before departing for Giza train station. The traffic even at this time of the morning was horrendous. No lanes, road markings, traffic lights etc - just a free for all and a hell of a lot of horn honking. Saw one car drive straight into anot...

Shane, Nicola and myself took off to see the Luxor sights on our rinky dink bikes at 730 am. We biked to the ferry where we had to deal with another scam. The guy issuing the ferry tickets demanded we pay 12 pounds for our bikes but from talking to the managers at Shane's hotel beforehand, we knew this was a scam. Shane told the guy straight out...

Man it's hot in Luxor! I drank 4 to 5 litres of water everyday here! The city is nice with the Luxor Temple right in the middle and the Nile on one side. There are a lot of feluccas here too and ferries to go to the west bank. The first night I visited the Luxor Temple which you can see very well from the 3rd floor of McDonalds! There are huge c...

The day before departing Egypt we went off to Luxor. We took an over night train to Luxor from Cairo (these tickets were extremely hard to come by...thank you to everyone involved in helping us!!!). We got into Luxor a little before noon and lady luck must have been smiling on us because right away we were approached by a very kind man named Moh...

· Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt · GMT +2hrs A muddle It's hard to know what to say about Luxor and I'm hoping by the time I finish this entry that I haven't done too good a job at ripping into it. Must be careful, and nice. Valleys & Kings Egypt's principal tourist lure remains, as ever, the Nile Valley that stretches south from Cairo, a valley famo...

Today we woke up at 2:30 am for our pick-up at 3:30 am to catch a 5 am flight to Luxor. The flight was on Egyptair and only took an hour. We were picked up at the airport and met our guide for the day. It is hotter in Luxor than in Cairo. We are going to the East bank (for the living, thus temples) and the West bank (for the dead, thus tombs). W...

6-16-07 Today was not terribly exciting unfortunately. Our only plans for today was to go to the post office to send a package home, yes another one, and to visit the Cairo Museum. So we packed a bag full of stuff to send home and as soon as I stood up it hit me like a mack truck!!! My back was killing me, not like some mild pain either it was g...

Gem and Wayne's adventures in Egypt - Week 1- Cruising the Nile Day 373 -Monday 5th March - Gatwick to Luxor....Hello Egypt Up early to drop Mike at work and then off to Gatwick airport to catch the 5 hour flight to Egypt. We arrived at 7.00pm, got into a crazy airport where all these men hustled us to get a visa, when we eventually got our lugg...

I'm in Luxor now! Yesterday was a long day. I started in Aswan, woke up at 2:30 a.m. and then took a bus ride to Abu Simbel to see the two temples there. They were quite impressive. While I was there, I dropped my camera and I spent the next few hours trying to remove the dust and get everything tip top. I wasn't too successful since now it seem...

Today's destination was Gurna and the tombs of the Nobles, followed in the afternoon by a visit to the temple of Medinat Habu. The village of Qurna or Gurna is located near the holy mountain called the Qurn, a natural pyramid which is also believed to be significant in the choice of the location of the Valley of the Kings. Adjacent to the fertil...
