Alenochka, maybe I don’t understand something, but how does climbing Mount Moses relate to excursions to Luxor?

In one day we were shown the Karnak temple, an oil and alabaster factory, we were fed lunch, we crossed the Nile, we saw the Valley of the Kings, how the Kollos are being repaired, we swept along the Nile, visited the island where the orchard (oranges, bananas, etc.), treated ourselves with them from the belly, at sunset they boarded buses and rested at their hotel on the same day. Two days too late! All these visits to factories are money luring! shy.

I will clarify, I took an excursion in an Egyptian travel agency, and stipulated that I wanted to see, so I calmly met in a day. And spending two days on Luxor is fat!

Luxor - the excursion is interesting, but rather heavy - as a rule, you walk in places that are very warmed up by the scorching sun (it is especially hot near the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, as it is located in a windless canyon), and besides, if you are not used to Egypt - in Luxor, compared to other sightseeing places, there are especially annoying beggars and sellers of all unnecessary crap. Therefore, I advise you to go on this tour not immediately upon arrival in Egypt, but after adapting a little to the climate and the local population.
Therefore, choose an excursion not only by duration, but also by the date of departure - it is optimal that it be in the middle of your vacation, because after the excursion you will want to lie down in the shade of an umbrella on the beach for a couple of days and not get up from the sunbed at all.
As for the papyrus museum - don't get too fooled by this, you will be shown such "museums" on almost all excursions and you will see enough of these papyri;)
For the rest, I recommend a standard excursion to Luxor for the whole day with a walk along the Nile - although it is very short, the proximity of the water will refresh you a little after the stones heated by the sun.

Yes, I also wanted to remind you of this, I was there in the winter and it was hard in the Valley of the Kings, it was very hot, and now it's the height of summer. One day and no more!
