I had a great time in Luxor in August this year. It was very hot but we still managed to see the sights. Luxor was a great base from which to explore Egypt. We were able to travel to Cairo on the overnight train to see the Pyramids, and also take a Nile cruise South to Aswan.
My favourite things in Luxor were definitely the Sphinxes, there were so many of them.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:So much to see
  • Cons:Can be a little too hot in August
  • In a nutshell:Count the Sphinxes

    I saw your shade-hopping tip and KNEW you must've been here in summertime! :-))) We were here in Jun'00 and the heat and baksheesh were identical to yours. Wasn't that 12hr Cairo-Luxor train fun?!

    Great page, your tips and photos are really good. If I go I will visit the museum before lunch, I've lost my appetite already ;0)
