🇪🇬 Egypt Travel Diary - Luxor Attractions

🏜️ East Bank → West Bank Transport 1️⃣ inDrive to Public Ferry (ignore touts) → buy round-trip tickets at counter (40 EGP/person). 2️⃣ Hired a no-AC beater car (500 EGP for 2) to cover: Hatshepsut Temple Valley of the Kings Medinat Habu Return to ferry 🛕 Temple of Hatshepsut (Meh...) Student ticket: 220 EGP (photos of student ID accepted). Taftaf cart: 20 EGP to temple entrance. Verdict: Crowded, underwhelming, and brutal stairs in heat. Staff herded us like cattle. ⚰️ Valley of the Kings (Solid!) Student tickets: 375 EGP (general) + 110 EGP (KV9). Free tombs: KV2: Decent. KV16: Hidden gem with pristine murals (steep slope inside—funny!). KV11: Missed the "trap" feature. Paid tomb (KV9): Empty and atmospheric. Water scam: 50 EGP/bottle inside. 🏛️ Medinat Habu (Favorite!) Student ticket: 110 EGP (physical ID required—argued with passport). Love: Grand scale, vivid reliefs. Water price: 20 EGP (fair). 🕌 Karnak Temple (Impressive but repetitive) Student ticket: 300 EGP. Best part: The hypostyle hall’s pillars. Back areas felt like rubble. Note: Murals here mirror other temples’ themes. 💡 Takeaway: Haggle harder—500 EGP for that jalopy was still overpriced. KV9 > Hatshepsut for tomb vibes. Habu’s murals steal the show! #Luxor #EgyptOnABudget #TempleFatigue #ValleyOfTheKings #StudentTravelHacks
