Shady Hotel Luxor

Hello Yall
Last weekend we trekked down to Luxor to visit all of the sites that one should visit while in Egypt. We took a 10 hour train ride through the night and arrived at our wonderful hotel in the morning. I spent all of our free time (Friday morning and Saturday afternoon) on the roof of the hotel by the pool soaking up the sun ...

I woke up at 6am today for a 7am departure to the valley of the kings. I had forgotten about the early departures required for these overland trips. Even though it is winter here, it is still quite warm in Luxor with temperatures of 25 degrees, se we are trying to get the site seeing done before the afternoon heat.

The Valley of Kings ...

More Cairo

My second day in Cairo was a lazy day.. And by lazy I mean I slept until noon, then laid by the pool and read a book for the afternoon. Not much was learned today, other than I keep getting a strange response from Egyptians. It will start out with someone saying "Hi" and then asking where I am from. I reply “Canada̶...

ENGLISH:
Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, oppositely to Jordan, were completely disappointing to me. It was not because of the places I was supposed to see, but because of the Egyptians themselves. Unfortunately, they spoiled my day.
It was one of the dreams of my life to see those places I had learnt as a young child at the geograph...

We've had to check out at 12pm today, but we have nothing to do until 10.30pm when we have a flight to Sharm El-Shek. We managed to get one room, but they won't let us store our main bags in there which is annoying.

Last night we had a good dinner with great service for Rhedyn's birthday, which you certainly don't expect when you are in...

Salam all,

Well i will start with today seeing as i could never catch up with what's been going on if i tried to tell you it all i would end up writing months after i arrived!

So today was an early start. We got up at 6am to head off to the Valley of the Kings. We left this early to avoid the incredible heat. It was disgustingly h...

Today was our last day on the Nile cruise. Goodbye to the delicious food, the funny and friendly waiting staff, guaranteed hot water (not always to be found in the hotels we stayed at during the tour), the swimming pool and so many other amenities. But we had a busy day ahead of us.
We were in Luxor, which is a must stop for Egyptian history...

This morning we arrived in Luxor and started our tour at the crack of dawn, thanks to Ashraf being an early bird. We would thank him later for keeping us out of the hell which was the Valley of the Kings at noon! Aside from the heat the Valley of the Kings and the Queens was very cool! You could walk through these very colorful tombs that are b...

After a good nights sleep we put our felucca experience behind us and thought we would give Egypt another chance. Shona's memories of her previous trip to Egypt were of amazing wonders and fantastic experiences, all she wants is for Egypt to return to that place.
We set off today in search of the treasures in the valley of the kings, we put...

We arrived into Luxor to a much quieter reception than to Cairo, which was a welcome change of pace. We headed straight to the Nile in our taxi and passed around 50 cruise ships (no exaggeration) until we reached the immaculate Sonesta Moon Goddess. It really was the most beautiful one we passed and we were immediately so content with our ...
