Things to do in Luxor, Nile River Valley: The Best Archaeology Tours
The Luxor in Las Vegas is to the actual CITY of Luxor, Egypt, as marshmallow fluff is to fois gras. (We’re sure you knew that. We just enjoy analogies.) Sure, the hotel/casino in Vegas might have a beam of light visible from space, but we bet you'll find a hot-air balloon ride over the Valley of Kings much more illuminating. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Before anything, don’t think twice, ahmed is the best option... Ahmed is the best!!, since the first moment we arrived to luxor ahmed was very caring and accomodating, he’s car was a blessing, super comfortable and nice. He’s extremely commited with details and always is looking for the best experiences for his clients, our felucca tour at nile was magic, he arranged for us a perfect picnic with incredible egyptian food. Regarding the tour to temples, he was very flexible and available to schedule changes, he took us to every place we wanted to go, with patience and great attitude, always waiting for us with cold water, (believe me this was a nice touch at 42 degrees), our guide saied had tons of knowledge about ancient egypt, was friendly and welcoming, besides speaks perfect spanish, my travel across egypt last 14 days with different guides and travel agencies and without any doubt, ahmed and saied were the best ones, I’m simply grateful and happy because thanks to them, my honeymoon was perfect. 100% recommended don’t think about it, he’s the best option.

We arranged with Luxortourguide (all by email, all very efficient) for LET to collect us from our hotel, drive to Hourghada, and visit Dendara temple in route All went very smoothly, we were collected right on time by a very nice driver in a mini-van (with no other ) Would highly recommend! The site ( Dendara ) was amazing. Completely empty so we were able to get great photos. Also, this one the only temple I visited that gave you access to its crypt and roof. If you have an extra day in Luxor (approximately 1 hours away), Or if you will drive from Luxor to Hourghada as we did. I would highly recommend this tour and visiting this temple in route with Luxortourguide Company.

You can use Nile cruisers to book any Nile Cruise you find and they can arrange all the details and excursions. Highly recommend the Sun Goddess ship by Sonesta as it was renovated to all suites during the down time of 2020. If you prefer a dahabiya or felucca they can do that too, but the majority of tourists will enjoy a larger boat. There was no turbulence and sailing/cruising on the Nile is very calm and peaceful. The company Nile Cruisers can also arrange day trips for you in Cairo or other areas I’m sure. The best part of the journey was having Mahmoud (nickname Ocean) as our guide for Luxor/Aswan. He understood what was most important to us and helped ensure we could enjoy and personalize our sightseeing and do add-ons such as Nefertari’s tomb. All in all Thank you for a smooth trip!
