Luxor Hotel

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: None

...This next review is about my experience at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas Nevada. I went to Las Vegas once before, which I think most people would no if they had read some of my previous reviews, however the excitement and thrill of Vegas once again attracted me to the Sin City. My previous review focused more about the whole experience of what can be done in Vegas, the next set of reviews will focus more on the two hotels I stayed at whilst on my trip, the first being the Luxor which I stayed in for 3 nights, followed by the Bellagio, which I stayed in for two nights. Now most people will probably ask how the hell he goes to so many places, well it does have a strain on the wallet, but I work dam hard so I don?t see why I can?t indulge in the nice life. Hopefully this review will be informative for anyone thinking of staying at the Luxor...

Our stay in Luxor

Advantages: Grea views, clean, close to centre and sights
Disadvantages: Not a lot of entertainment

...tennis table which is free of charge as well as a book borrowing/swapping library. On the way to the pool below the terraces there is a giant chess board although I didn?t see anyone playing chess. ADDRESS AND CONTACT DETAILS... Khaled Ebn El Waleed St. Luxor Egypt Tel.: + 20 - 95 - 238 09 25 Fax: +20 - 95 - 238 09 72 Email: reservation@iberotelluxor.com VERDICT... We had a very enjoyable stay in luxor. The hotel is clean and comfortable and serves good food and plenty of it, with not a case of poorly stomach amongst us. The staff are friendly and helpful and all areas including the entrance toilets and pool toilets were kept consistently clean. At the entrance to the hotel there were security guards and guests had to go through a scanner so we felt more than safe being there, even when himself had to fly back to...

One Day In Luxor

Advantages: overwhelming
Disadvantages: none

...After 28 years my husband and I decided to revisit Egypt, not that we expected the millennia-old monuments to look any different, but the first visit had impressed us so much that we thought we´d enjoy a second visit. On 20th December 2003 Egypt Air took us from Frankfurt/Main directly to Luxor in Upper Egypt where we landed at 1 am the following morning due to a delay at departure, when we finally hit the hay it was 2 am! The view from the balcony of our hotel room some hours later rewarded us for the trouble: after winter-grey Germany eye-hurting, bright sunshine, palm trees on the bank of the Nile, cruisers and feluccas - Egyptian sailing-boats - on the glittering river! Why do tourists go to Luxor? The remains of the biggest temple humankind has ever constructed are there, in Karnak to be precise, now a part of the city, in...

Review of Luxor (Egypt)

Luxor

Advantages: Awe inspiring place full of culture
Disadvantages: Local water could make you quite ill

...My husband and I went to Luxor a couple of years ago for two weeks. Although we were worried about security we didn't have any problems and a trip we went on to a Red Sea Resort was chaperoned by armed guards incase of trouble. The security of tourists is taken very seriously in Luxor, and we didn't come across any trouble at all. The hotels are excellent and service is second to none, just walking down the street you find yourself offered a taxi or a caleche (the local horse drawn carriages) every few feet and it can be quite hard to refuse. The drivers are always more than happy to take you on a tour of Luxor culminating in a trip to the local papyrus museum, which is very interesting with a demonstration of how it is made and a hefty commission for the driver if you buy a papyrus! In fact, every driver we used had a brother...

Review of Luxor (Egypt)

Luxor

Advantages: The heat (in winter) Stunning temples
Disadvantages: The heat (in summer) The hassle

...I have now visited Luxor three times and would recommend it as a holiday to anyone. We have visted twice in July and the advantage of this is that it is one of the few travel destinations which is cheaper in the school holidays, howver the heat is incredible and if possible you should avoid this. It is possible to stay in a good quality hotel for around 400 pounds for a week in July which if cost is a consideration is a very reasonable cost. We spent new year in Luxor and this was totally different to summer as it was possible to walk freely without being overcome by heat. It made us wonder why we were vere daft enough to visit in summer. The hassle is the main disadvantage of the place with people rtying to sell you souveniers or to go in their carriage. If you are really not interested a firm no will usually do the trick...

Review of Luxor (Egypt)

Luxor West Bank by taxi

Advantages: Independent travel
Disadvantages: No tour guide descriptions

...I would like to recommend anyone travelling to Luxor to arrange themselves a trip around the Luxor West Bank using a local Luxor taxi. I have visited Egypt on 3 occasions now as a backpacker and the taxi trip to the west bank has always been one of the highlights for me. You really get to travel around not only at your leisure but in the company of a real local resident making himself a proper living. Your money will not be going to a tour company, it will be going directly to the local with the family to support. It is my opinion that Egyptian taxi drivers have been the friendliest and most helpful of anyone you are likely to meet. The taxis may look to be in a poor state of repair but they are functional and pretty comfortable in all honesty. You can usually hire a cab driver in low season for half a day for around £75 to £100...

Review of Luxor (Egypt)

LUXOR....BUT ITS NOT PAINFUL

Advantages: Climate, Friendly People
Disadvantages: None

...CURRENCY : Egyptian Pound (£1.00 = approx 10 Egyptian) TIME DIFFERENCE: +2 GMT FLYING TIME : Approx 4 1/2 hours In October this year my partner and I managed to pick up a bargain break to Egypt for 7 night?s bed and breakfast for the princely some of £798 for the two of us, courtesy of Mr Thomas Cook Our trip started two weeks before departure as we had to have the following vaccinations before leaving: Hepatitis A, Tetanus, Polio and Typhoid. Please note these vaccinations are not mandatory these days but according to the Foreign Office website they are recommended. Be warned, the Polio vaccination tastes like what I imagine would be sweaty socks that have been worn by cows for 3 months and not washed! We landed at Luxor airport at approx 21.30 local time (+2 GMT) and as it...

Review of Luxor (PC)

Honeymoon in Luxor

Advantages: Good bargains and a lot to do
Disadvantages: The museums are too expensive

...My husband and I spent 2 weeks in Luxor for our honeymoon. It was our first time in Egypt and the first time my husband had visited an Arab country. We stayed in a small, family run hotel called the St Joseph. It was very friendly and all the holidaymakers staying there got to know each other so the atmosphere was really good. The hotel provided entertainment most evenings which was just as well because there wasn't much going on at nights in Luxor. I loved Luxor but I was disappointed that the only places you could safely eat in were hotels which served up international food at more or less the same prices you would expect to pay in the UK. We did the usual tours of the various temples and we did find the entrance fees for most of the museums a bit expensive at around £7 a time. I wondered if any of the locals could ever afford...

Review of Luxor (Egypt)

Luxor for 2 weeks

Advantages: Good base for the must- see sights
Disadvantages: Constant hassle from the locals

...My husband and I went to Luxor for our honeymoon. We chose it as it was so central to the majority of the must-see sights that Egypt is famous for. Luxor is really a one street town. This street runs the length of the town and most of the major hotels are situated on it. The Sheraton at one end, the Hilton at the other. We stayed in the Hilton. This is at the very end of the road and a 5 minute bus journey from the center of town. First piece of advise: don't attempt to walk it unless its night, the road is a sun-trap and its no fun being stuck out in the Luxor sun, we learned the hard way! We went with Thomas Cook and booked our excursions with them. This was a good move as there aren't really any shops that you can go in and book excursions. If your hotel offers this, best to take them up on it. The essential trips are...
