I hope you don't mind if I make a suggestion? There was a lot of information in your review but it was quite hard to read all bunched up together. Reviews that are broken up into smaller paragraphs and have a blank space between them are easier for others to read and it also gives a nice overall look to the review. You can edit your review at any time to change it or to add new information at any time by clicking on the edit link which is top centre of the page as you read your review. Fionaxx by COOOEEE

Thanks for the review. Some specific details about the place for the consumer would help bump up your review ratings. by pmcds

I'm so envious it's one of a handful of places I'd love to visit. Nice review. Jacky x by jackyann53

I too was blown away by Karnak. Its sheer size astounded me. I would have loved to have seen it in its hay day. Its such a shame that some frnch archeologist decided to let the Nile flood in and wash so much of it away! by tattie123

Disadvantages: HASSTLE, Dirty, Noise, Beggars, HUSSLERS,

I can easily say it's the worse place on the planet for Beggars, husslers, filty, smelly and very very noisy. As we've been to many other Arab countries over the last 10 years, we've always found people friendly, not in Luxor, they're so experienced at h ... Read review

Myself and my girlfriend are looking at going to eygpt for a holiday soon and your review was helpful. Maybe you could have included a bit more info on how long the journey took and how long you were there and how busy it was and whether or not you were hassled by locals. These are currently my reservations for not booking yet. However thank you by blacksta

I have experienced similar situations and it is horrible to feel so uneasy. For higher ratings here though, it would be useful if you could tell us about the place you stayed in, where you visited, what you ate, transport, costs etc. If you add anything I would be happy to re-rate. Vic by VC81

Sorry out of E's. We love Egypt, went in 2000 to Ciaro, 7 night Cruise and week at Red Sea. Now have a two year old so went back last year to Sharm, enjoyed it but woldn't go back there.
