🇪🇬 Luxor 2-Day Travel Guide

While Cairo is a must-visit in Egypt, Luxor and Aswan are equally unmissable! 🚗 Transportation Private car hire: We found a fantastic driver for $90 (3-day tour) + $20 (airport transfers). Perks: Provided free water, bananas, and even ice cream! Helped with haggling and recommended authentic local restaurants (no tourist traps). Bonus: On our last day, he chartered a private boat ($5/person) straight to our hotel! 🏨 Accommodation Jolie Ville Resort & Spa Kings Island Luxor: Spacious villa-style resort with shuttle service. Nile-front location—great value compared to mainland hotels. 🎫 Tickets Student discounts: Bring your student ID + passport for 50% off (credit card only at most sites). ☀️ Weather Scorching heat (up to 38°C)—pack sunscreen, hats, and umbrellas. 🍽️ Dining Set meals (~350 EGP): Appetizer, soup, main course, dessert. No tipping culture here! 📅 Itinerary Day 1️⃣ Karnak Temple: Must-see: The hypostyle hall’s towering pillars—perfect for photos! Luxor Temple: Driver suggested night visits for lighting, but we found it underwhelming (temple fatigue?). Day 2️⃣ Nile Sunset Cruise: Best at dusk—serene views, away from city chaos. (Pro tip: Do this on Day 1 for better pacing!) #LuxorTravel #EgyptGuide #NileCruise #HistoricSites #TravelSmart 🌅🏛️
