Can be bought from the hotel guide.
Do not forget that the Valley of the Kings is one of the hottest places on the planet!

Luxor - historical monuments, remnants of ancient civilizations. As already correctly noted - in some places it is very, very hot. For example, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut is located in a windless canyon under the scorching sun. As elsewhere, excursions greatly overshadow trips to papyrus shops and museums. Plus, strongly intrusive sellers of all kinds of garbage go to the brain. But despite the described costs, I still liked it. Getting from Sharm to Luxor is much more difficult, so take the opportunity.
Well, just look at the sea, unwind and ride - El Gouna, a boat trip. The sea is just unreal colors. There are almost no shops.
The main thing is not to go on a "submarine ride" and a "glass bottom boat ride" - it's a complete scam, you only need to see the underwater world by swimming yourself and nothing else.

This is an amazing trip to the coral reef. For some reason, Russians are not taken there. A girl did a tour for us, we met on the site. She gave a phone number, we called, met, she wrote out a ticket, in the morning a minibus came to pick us up, everything was great. Also at a discount. If anything, ask, I will write her phone number. BUT this is only from Hurghada. Write to the mail [email protected], several of my friends traveled through it. There is a reef from the shore. The beauty. Rest on mattresses under beautiful umbrellas and lunch in a cafe. For all day. Well, there is diving. Who cares.

Luxor should definitely be visited, but in summer it will be very hot, if there is such an excursion as Utopia, then it is better than a trip to Paradise, take quad bikes, I agree about riding boats with a glass bottom - complete garbage, if you like diving. if you go to Cairo, it is better for 2 days. and that one day personally I was not particularly impressed

From Hurghada it is good to go to Luxor and sea excursions. Cairo is far and hard. To Jerusalem - except by plane.

We went to Luxor - the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Kings, but there was a terrible heat even in March, now even more so the oven, then for 2 days Cairo-Alexandria with all the sights that follow from there, then El Gouna, it's only to swim on the reef with a mask and a sightseeing tour of Hurghada, when there is absolutely nothing to do. Unfortunately, we did not have enough days, we regret that we did not get to Aswan - Abu Simbel. Of course, all this is far away, but closer than from Sharm. In general, we just drove for the sake of excursions, so we dangled wherever possible, the buses were big, good, we took excursions at the hotel from our tour operator - teztour. The guides are very good. I liked everything, I highly recommend.

Luxor is great, but Aswan - Abu Simbel is even cooler. You will cover a huge amount of sights. After this tour, I realized that I saw everything I wanted. Excursion for 2 days. I advise you to take special inflatable pillows that fix your head, otherwise it will not be comfortable on the bus. As for Cairo, I personally have not traveled, but I have not yet heard good reviews from anyone, and far from it. Advice - do not buy their loose coffee - a complete divorce.

I don’t agree about Cairo - I liked the tour itself no less than Luxor, but the road was very long and I caught a cold under the air conditioner, it’s good that we went with an overnight stay, but again, I had to fork out well.
In Cairo, unlike Luxor, it is not so hot, sometimes even a fresh breeze blows. Well, the pyramids, of course, were very impressive. I also went inside, it's quite interesting.
It's just that you can get from Sharm to Cairo faster if there is no traffic jam in front of the tunnel.

We liked the "White Sun of the Desert" - a bit of everything: quads, Bedouins, a little show with skirts and cobras. Not very boring and quite interesting. From the sea, I advise a paradise island, but so that with a sea walk, corals and fishing. Also three in one. I strongly advise you not to forget the cream, you can easily burn!

I agree about Luxor - we went during our holidays in El Gouna, an amazing excursion (albeit sooner, but we managed to see SO MUCH!), You can’t miss it for anything! The ride is really far, but tolerable)) It's worth it. Cairo is also exciting, but if the choice is between it and Luxor - in my opinion Luxor)) The submarine is complete garbage, we rode)
Abu Simbel is not covered, I really want to go there! :)
аватар Dreamer_0x01
And whoever saw Abu Simbel with his own eyes, tell me honestly:
Is there a feeling of antiquity and "non-artificiality" of the stone? After all, the real monument was sawn into fragments, its place was flooded, and the fragments were collected and installed in the present place.
аватар Roman1976
I was impressed by Abu Simbel, a very original building, next to it is the temple of Nifirtari. Unusual in that they are carved into the rock. how were they carried? Just fantastic. But if compared with Luxor, then in Luxor the quality of bas-reliefs and drawings is much higher. Our guide explained this by the fact that during its construction there was a war for many years and art was in decline. But it's definitely worth watching.

I recommend Luxor: Our day trip included a trip to Luxor itself with a visit to the Temple of Karnakh, a visit to a papyrus factory shop, lunch, a boat trip across the Nile, a visit to the Temple of Hachipsut, a visit to the Valley of the Pharaohs. I liked it very much! Were in October. it will probably be hot in the summer.

The guide, his main task is to cram tickets for excursions on the first day, because on the second day, tourists buy these tickets twice as cheap. At the same time, he says, do not buy tickets anywhere, because they will deceive you and run away, but claims you will present to me.
Here, just yesterday they deceived Russian tourists from room 246, go and ask.
This trick works and many tourists immediately buy tickets from him. I give an example: Ramadan has a ticket to Israel, it costs $ 200 to Jerusalem, he offers to buy it on the first day for $ 170, but a tall, thin Arab in black walks on the beach every day glasses and a cap, named Misha, we bought tickets from him for $ 100, as a result, those who paid $ 100, and those who paid $ 200, and there were those who paid $ 250. By the way, that's all we bought the rest of the tickets from Misha two times cheaper than from Ramadan. What is the difference and is it worth paying more?
I think only in one thing, in the event of an accident or other cataclysms, Misha will wash off and will not help you in any way, while Ramadan will remain at his workplace.

Tickets are sold at every corner, both on the street and on the beach, and you can bargain everywhere, no matter how cheap you buy a ticket, then it turns out that you could buy cheaper. But the road to Cairo is very difficult and I do not recommend traveling with children. We left at 00 Sasov, and arrived at 9 am. Buses are packed to capacity, the seats do not recline, it is impossible to sleep.
The air conditioners work, but those passengers who are sitting under them scream, turn it off, we will catch a cold, we are cold, and those who are sitting farther away scream turn it on, we are hot, and so it comes to massacre. But if you are confident in your abilities, then you should to take a chance, as well as to go to Israel for a day, very interesting!
The city is a 20-minute drive from the hotel, you can pre-book the hotel bus for a certain time, or you can go through the palm alley to the central highway and get into the city minibus, for one dollar for two persons, but you need to negotiate before you get in the car.
If you leave the hotel and go right along the road for 1 kilometer, you will find yourself in a very beautiful Soho Square, where there is a singing fountain, an indoor ice rink, a cheap duty free shop (cheaper than at the airport), concerts every evening and a lot of shops. The Savoy Hotel is also located there.

We were in Hurghada about 1.5 months ago, and so of all the excursions we liked the excursions with a trip to the sea, Paradise and diving, the historical excursions did not bring much emotion. We bought excursions from a local company ( http://sun-egypt.net), it turned out that for two we saved $ 500, compared with the price of the tour operator. And the service was great!

If you are in Luxor, then be sure to Cruise on the Nile - 4 days of excursions to all of the above places - everything is super. There is the cheapest way.
From Hurghada by regular bus for 45 Eg. pounds to Luxor (terminal at the railway station Luxor, then by ship, or at the place of the excursion.

If you are going to Luxor, do not forget about extreme drivers. Ours, for example, completely shot down a person

We wanted excursions somewhere to a cool beach. At home, friends advised us to watch excursions on the site ti bba tour, she herself ordered there and were satisfied. We contacted the organizer already in Egypt when we were there, we chose scuba diving and swimming with dolphins. I had a lot of squeaks and squeals of happiness) I was happy, it's amazing. Thank you for such a feeling. The agency also gave us a gift and sent us on a sightseeing tour for free, we had a good walk and bought gifts home)

We went to Paradise Island, just a fabulous place and took a bathyscaphe. We ordered this excursion, took it from Mido Bikham, you can find it in VK, we liked everything very much, and especially made a bonus, a sightseeing tour for free, shows places where you can buy souvenirs inexpensively, though inexpensively, in comparison with what we saw and wanted buy.

We really wanted to go on some excursions, but we didn’t know where with the child, then we were recommended ti ba ttur, an agency that can be found in search engines. We talked with Mido - he is the organizer, he advised us a water park for the child, and also a bathyscaphe, generally super. And he also gave us a free tour of the city, bought souvenirs, various oils. Just thank you very much.
