Creator's Key Takeaways

We were able to freely ask questions and most importantly hear the answers plus impart his extensive knowledge to us.

Though, astonishingly, we were able to source this independently for the same cost as the official group cruise excursion, but also include additional itinerary elements.

So for anyone contemplating visiting from Cairo, either flying down or with the overnight train or visiting by road from the Red Sea ports of say Hagada, which is an even longer drive than ours, we would strongly recommend doing it with at least one overnight in Luxor to really make the most of your visit.

And despite the packed itinerary, we found our time in Luxor to be quite relaxing and completely different to the hustle and bustle of Cairo.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a private guide and driver for independent tours in Luxor.
Visit the Valley of the Kings first thing in the morning to avoid crowds.
Consider an overnight stay in Luxor to explore more sites at a relaxed pace.
Come prepared with small change for tips in quieter tombs.
