Luxor Travel Blogs

I can imagine somewhere in Holland there's a woman proudly telling everyone how her husband bargained 150 dollars off of a beautiful stone cat...   Yesterday, on our way to Hatshepsut's temple, we visited an alabaster handicraft shop. The alabaster handicraft shop has a work corner where thr…

Hi everyone :+)), First of all, if you like this blog, plz leave a comment or a smile BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MY SECOND AWARD LOLLLLLL :+)), ok I am just kidding :) Since I was a very young boy in school, I have been learning that Luxor constitutes 2/3 of the world's monuments, but I didnt have a c…

It is very early morning and I wake up - it is actually a bit chilly this morning before sunrise - so I decide to actually use the sleeping back today. And go back to sleep for another couple of hours. Then it is sunrise and I wake up without much hope of going back to sleep. From where we are …

Today started SO early!  I was up at 4 am and out the door by 4:30 am.  First, we caught a bus and then a boat to the west side of the Nile and then another boat just next to the Valley of the Kings.  We could see the hot air balloons slowly filling up and the sun was just starting t…

Wakeup was at 4:30 for 5:30 departure to the airport.  The airport was a zoo but Mohammed got our tickets and took us to a special line to check the luggage.  Our flight was by Egypt Air in a brand new 737-800. 

Boy, did we hit the jackpot here. We had decided on a day trip from Cairo to Luxor to visit the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and other sites in Luxor. We took the first flight out of Cairo in the morning, like 06:00, arriving in Luxor bright and early. We went to the informatio…

Our morning began rather early! Our guide Ahmed had told us he'd be picking us up at 7am and we'd want to get an early move on if we'd want  to enjoy the day at our leisure without too much sunshine. And what was our day going to be about? The WEST BANK of the River Nile and the attractions ar…

[Camera and Egypt photos have finally, safely made their way back to the UK & now Thailand to be updated on blog (13/02/09)] Luxor and its surrounding areas probably contains the highest and most varied concentration of monuments and temples of ancient Egyptian civilization withint the country…

In Luxor right now. Just visited 4 temples in 6 hours - The Valley of the Kings, Haptshepsut Temple, Temple of Karnak and Luxor Temple. I'm all temple'd out! Will be catching an overnight train back to Cairo tonight. Dreading the thought of it - all 10 hours of it. The day began with breakfas…

When i and my friend - Ana - had decided to visit Egypt we didn't know that Ehab (Maher) would accompany us during our whole trip but i don't know what we would have done there without him...This trip wasn't just a dream coming true but also the beginning of an amazing and a hopefully everlasting friendship. Shukran Ehab for these unforgetable 9 days - you're an incredibly nice person! God bless Travbuddy!!!!! :-))))

Well I had to make this a blog seeing as the town of Marsa Alam in Egypt is not even recognised seeing as its way off the travelers path! I also had to make the location of it "luxor" - apparently even the map does not recognise this small town!! Not suprising when you arrive there and see that the…

"Get up! We're in Luxor, the train is leaving in 2 minutes!" Ann yelled.Our tickets stated *Giza to Aswan* which we were assured was not a problem, as Luxor was the stop before Aswan. EXCEPT that the steward did not know that we were getting off in Luxor, haha, so of course how could he make sure w…
