Plum9195Go at night to visit this famous temple in Luxor. It will be very crowded, but it will be cooler and the lights make everything very attractive. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes because the ground is uneven and you will want to make sure you do not slip. Going with a tour guide is recommended, they will be able to explain what you are seeing so you can fully appreciate the Temple. Reduced admission is available for Egyptian Citizens and students if they have an ID.This is a must do if you are in Egypt.
Plum9195The Nile River is even better than I imagined. Luxor is the start of many 3-5 night cruise's down the Nile. Most of the larger boats hold around 200 people the smaller Dahabiya about 12-18 people. The cruise usually goes from Luxor to Edfu to Aswan stopping to see sights along the way. It is a great way to relax and see the country side at the same time. Usually the cruise includes meals, guides and most admission fees to the major historical sites. Nile River Cruise is a great way to enjoy Egypt.
Plum9195This was such an interesting Temple built by a very interesting Queen. I will not spoil the story by telling it to you here, it is much better when you hear it while visiting the temple.You should have a guide to help you truly appreciate the history of the Temple. Usually the same guide that takes you to the Valley of the King's will take you to this Temple as well as they are very close to each other. The Polish people were instrumental in preserving this Temple and signage recognises this contribution. Seeing the actual tree stump of one of the trees brought back from a long ago trek was also mind-blowing. This was one of the most memorable sites we visited. Highly recommend.
lutripA must!!! You gotta do it on sunrise, it's the most beautiful view! Pick up at hotel 4:45am, then we cross the Nile on a small boat where they offer coffe and a small cake. Then take another van to the Hot air Ballon site.Be prepared if the Ballon cannot flight, as in the first day I tried. Luckily I insisted and on the second day it happened! Sometimes the conditions are not good enough and the hot air Ballon are prohibited to flight. If this happens they return the money, but I suggest to try again of you have time, its worth it!
浩天5288When you arrive in Egypt, you must go to Luxor when you have time. The Imperial Valley is in Luxor, and there are Mennon Statue and Imperial Valley nearby. Buy tickets and enter the attractions. After you enter the attractions, you can't take photos. The traffic is still more convenient and the accommodation is better.

Touring Luxor Temple at night is recommended you can see the treasures in a cooler temperature. Be prepared for crowds. The statues look so magestic with the lights. Cost for Egyptian Nationals is less than for foreign visitors, just so your prepared to see different tickets. #wintergetaway

When you visit Temple Karnak be sure to first look at the model in the visitation center. It is helpful to give a layout and perspective of what you will see. The complex is huge, so be prepared to walk. #wintergetaway

In ancient Egyptian times there were many of this type of Sphinx lining the entrance way into the Temple Karnak. Even today it is impressive, who can imagine what it was like thousands of years ago? Awe-inspiring to visit. #wintergetaway

Dipping our toes in Nile near Aswan, Egypt. One of the great things about taking a River Cruise from Luxor to Aswan instead of driving or taking a train is you can have experiences like this one. It was December so the water was chilly, but we did not mind. #wintergetaway

In Luxor we went to a stone carving workshop. Yes, they did give a small educational talk, which was interesting. They explained the differences in various types of stone in the area and showed examples of how items were made. Of course, they want you to buy, so be ready to bargin, hard. #wintergetaway

At Luxor Temple in Egypt you can still see parts of a fresco of the disciples in the temple walls and how a doorway was converted to become part of a Coptic Church. The Christians used it for worship many years after it fell out of use with the Egyptians.

Luxor Temple can be toured best at night and this is more comfortable than during the heat of the day. The columns are so large and you are amazed at how they are still standing thousands of years later. #wintergetaway
