Top 10 Day Trips from in Luxor, Nile River Valley

August 20, 2021 Major Galusha

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.)

This was an unforgettable trip! It is a jam-packed trip with so many sites & activities, yet it also manages to offer relaxation while you cruise down the Nile in-between stops. Heba is incredibly attentive although there were a few changes about departure times/locations. She went out of her way to make it special for us (I was celebrating graduation & my friend his birthday!). She frequently checked in on us via WhatsApp to make sure everything was going smoothly. We loved our guide Ahmed (be sure to request him!!). His way of presenting information is super effective and I feel like I’m walking away from this trip with waaaaay more insight & education than I have ever had on any other trip. We really appreciated him. Overall the boat was nice and I loved the rooftop deck & pool. The food is ok but it’s fine for what it is and the staff is attentive. So happy & grateful for this experience!

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.

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 enjoyed travelling with Ahmed so much we decided to extend our time on the Nile River and explore beautiful Aswan and the Abu Simbel Temple. This was really a highlight of our vacation in Egypt and we’re so glad we decided to see! The journey was made extremely comfortable by Ahmed and our guide Ra. They once again had delicious recommendations for restaurants in the area. Hope to see you both soon!!
