Buy peanuts from Luxor
  • Tip Rating:


  • What To Buy: Our Egyptian friend was looking to buy peanuts from Luxor, as he said that the peanuts here are the best you can find all over Egypt.
    And he was right.
    The taste is special and all my friends back home appreciated very much.

    What To Pay: The price is very good (7 LE for ˝ kilo).

  • Beside the interesting visits to Luxor sites, we also stopped to a so called Papyrus Institute, actually a store that sells original papyruses.
    The average price of a papyrus with the zodiac sign is around 70 LE (USD 14-) and adding a cartouche with the owner’s name costs around 10 LE (USD 2-).

     Beautiful pictures of a "wanna go there" destination. Thanx for sharing!

     A very interesting and detailed page with beautiful pics. Thanks Diana for bringing back sweet memories from my April trip. Yes, Luxor is worth visiting especially with cruise tour. $1 gives an opportunity to make a photo in distant tombs when tourists...

     Outstanding pictures and interesting info. No video cameras, no photos inside tombs sounds very bad for me!

     Marvellous photos and interesting reading. I suspect Luxor will remain a “wishlist” destination for me, but I enjoyed the ‘virtual visit’ provided by your page.
