Accommodation in Luxor, Egypt.

Visiting the ancient land of Egypt, has been my dream since very young. I've managed to realise my dream twice already, visiting this country on two occasions. Once during a stop over flight on Egypt Air and once on a fully fledged tour that included a Nile Cruise. One of the key cities when visiting Egypt is the city of Luxor. Luxor (Ancient Thebes) has got many attractions including the following:

The most important aspect when travelling to Egypt, is to ensure that you are booked into a 4 or 5 star hotel as the ratings in Egypt are not a 100% guarantee of quality. This is even more important if you are a backpacker in Egypt. You don't want to pick up a tummy bug as a result of bad hotel quality. It is important to keep healthy when travelling in Egypt. The good news, staying in Luxor, is that there are ample quality hotels, as well as, pharmacies and hospitals in case you do need help

Busabout, the best way to see Europe as an Independent Traveler.

Image Copyright Busabout I will be posting more updates and stories about the merits of using the Busabout service to see Europe. It is an absolutely great recipe to see Europe at your own pace. There is no age restriction and the service is top-notch. I've made use of this service and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a good selection of Hostels used by Busabout , but you are free to book your own accommodation. You just need to ensure that you are at the pick up points in time for the bus on the day of your departure. Busabout is owned by the same operator that owns Trafalgar Tours and Contiki Tours .

Is Egypt safe to visit?

Felucca on the Nile Copyright Protected - Owner of blog. I've visited Egypt a couple of times and has an intense love affair with this country that has bestowed the world with a wealth of mystery and suspense. Travelling in Egypt is an adventure on its own. I did not backpack in Egypt and possibly wouldn't advise that, in the current political situation. I however don't see any problem with booking a place on an organised tour. The tour operators are up to date with the current situation on the ground in Egypt and they will advise of any risks. See latest News Feed from Nile International on events in Egypt. You can also visit my detailed  Egypt Travel Advice , where I have links to the United States and United Kingdom Travel alerts, as well as fantastic advice relating to travel in Egypt. Please see below a small subset of photos of my last trip. Enjoy. My last trip to Egypt started in Cairo and included a train trip down to southern Egypt from where we t
