Things to do in Luxor, Nile River Valley: The Best Rail Tours

August 26, 2021 Terina Blouin

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.)

We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

Zain made our trip to Egypt one of the best experiences of our lives. When we go again, we're taking Pharaoh's Land Tours! It was truly an experience of a lifetime, filled with so many memories. We visited some of the most amazing sights and learned things the average tour group will not be exposed to. If you ever go to Egypt, Zain is your man!

My wife wanted to visit Aswan and Abu Simbel. Then I contacted Amro from Egypt Touring. That was the best decision I made. He organized everything for us and the air ticket too. Meet and greet, Aswan day tour and Abu Simbel tour. I had nothing to worry and my wife was welcome so well and she was taken care of as she is having lack of movement. I’m so impressed by the service of this tour company, and Amro. They are very reasonable in the pricing. Thank you Egypt Touring for making our trip to Aswan and Abu Simbel Memorable!
