A fabulous trip into history
We've always wanted to visit the valley of the kings and as we were in Egypt, we booked up to go. Despite the long coach trip to get there (which we slept though) we were not disappointed. The Karnak temple is astounding and vast - we couldn't get round it all. We were also VERY impressed with our guide when he read hieroglyphics as if he was reading a menu in a restaurant: Other groups stopped to listen to him. There are numerous stops on this trip allowing you to witness and learn about the history that the area has to offer. The highlight was of course the valley of the kings and this was simply breathtaking. Our ticket entitled us for three tombs (we paid extra to also go into king Tut's tomb also). The artwork inside the tombs is stunning and the colours are still as vibrant as when they were first painted. Hatshepsut's temple was also fabulous and an incredible feat of engineering - I'd doubt that the engineers of today would be able to do something similar.
Just do it
This was a great experience! Our guide Laila was amazing, and very knowledgeable! She went through all the right/important information that was needed took us to special areas. And seemingly she’s well-known around each temple with each of the locals so she is able to give you an experience that is true and authentic. This was a daddy daughter trip so she made us feel very welcomed, appreciated, and she was very attentive to us and our needs. She told us what to avoid, and what’s the lookout for when the pushy sellers come around. And one thing that stood out to me was that she felt very familiar. meaning she felt like family, so it was easy getting to know a little bit about her background and it just felt very comfortable to be around her. I will say, depending on where your hotel is pick up can be very early like maybe 330. Even though I was a little annoyed. It still makes sense on why they pick you up that early being that you have a 4 Hour drive to Luxor and a 4 Hour drive. back.
A great day in Luxor
A recommended excursion, our guide Mahmoud was wonderful and very knowledgeable, we visited Luxor.
