Holiday Reviews for Luxor
"Nile cruise & Luxor stay"
Weather : The weather in Luxor for the 2 weeks we were there was very hot every day, average daily temp of 40F
Night time was a little cooler but still a very nice average of around 25-28F although not as sticky and humid as being in some european destinations
Holiday : The holiday itself was great, we had a weeks cruise on the nile aboard the M/S Regancy
This boat is fantastic, food was always hot and always something for everyone , staff very freindly and helpfull and the tours to all the temples and sites were very well run qwith a guide to bring it all to life for you
Also had a week at the Jolie Ville resort on the banks of the nile, hotel is a little way out of the main area of Luxor on it's own private island. great if you want a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and busle of Luxor itself and if you want to experiance Luxor(and it is an experiance) then the hotel runs cortasy buses and boats from the hotel to luxor a couple of times a day, altough the local taxis are very cheap but some of them are a little on the old side.
When out and about you will be constantly asked by all the locals if you want to go into there shop or if you want a taxi or even a horse drawn cab ride.
This can be a little annoying at times but they are only trying to earn a living and a polite no thank you usually does the trick, some are just happy to talk to you
Places Recommended : Valley of the Kings,
Balloon ride over the valley,
Edfu Temple,
Phile Temple and the rest of the ancient sites
Snorklling in the Red sea
Recommend Luxor to others : Yes
