Are there excursions from Sharm to Luxor and how long does it take?
I read that once a week there is an air excursion to Luxor, on Thursdays. And on other days, how or not by air?

go to the site of tour operators and see what days the tour is. Teztur and Pegasus 100% have a schedule. And the fact that not every day, it is quite likely.

A good tour: both interesting and not tiring. We flew on Thursday, but I could be wrong.

I flew with Teztur two years ago, I think on Wednesday. I liked it very much. It cost $ 230. I always get motion sick in buses, but here everything was so comfortable, the transfers between the temples were small, I didn’t get tired at all. I want to give a couple of tips: Luxor has a completely different climate. Much hotter during the day than in Sharm, colder in the morning. Wear summer LONG trousers and a long-sleeved cambric blouse for the road. It is MANDATORY to have with you a sun cream with protection of at least 15-20. Panama hat is a must. It is better to wear thin socks under sandals -1) - the fingers burn, 2) - there are Bedouin uncles sitting around in the complexes on the ground, who like to grab their bare fingers (out of boredom). Be sure to take water from the hotel at least 1.5 liters per person. Lunch is included in the tour, but drinks are not. If there is a desire to buy an Egyptian cartouche, then in Luxor it is best to do this - the choice is much better than in Sharm and the price is much cheaper. When we were going for a walk along the Nile, a man from the factory came to us, showed samples, who wanted to order, and in the evening he brought to the bus, payment upon receipt. Like she said everything. In February, upon arrival in Luxor, the air temperature was 9 degrees (everyone was cold in windbreakers), and in the afternoon it was more than 40. Good luck!

I also forgot to warn you. When you swim on the river bus on the Nile, do not put your hands in the water. We had an epidemiologist with us, she warned everyone that living creatures like worms (I don’t remember the name) live in the Nile, which penetrates the body through the skin and it is difficult to deduce later. In general, we looked at the ancient Nile, but did not touch it.

The tour is interesting, I agree. And it’s not worth dragging a lot of water, it heats up quickly, it becomes just hot, it’s better to buy a cool one there. I also ordered a cartouche with gilding, which quickly peeled off, nonsense.

I ordered pure silver for my sons. They still wear it practically without taking it off, nothing peels off. You just need to take it from a homogeneous metal, and not with a coating.

Yes, silver is better, my friend took it. They didn’t offer pure gold. I have silver on one side, and gold on the other, as they said, this side quickly faded and peeled off.

It is better to go to Luxor from Hurghada - much cheaper (because by bus) and not so tiring. And there are tours several times a week. Of all the excursions, this is the most interesting. You can believe we saw everything in Egypt!

How many hours to go from Hurghada to Luxor? The same thing, but from Sharm 45 minutes and we are there. At 9 pm we were already at the hotel for dinner, not tired of the many hours of travel. In addition, I can’t even compare Sharm with Hurghada, but even in the post-shark time, it was not a question for me to exchange Sharm for something else, especially for Hurghada ... sk. No offense, there are people who like it in X. But such corals and such a variety of fish are only in Sharm. this place)

Yes, it’s very comfortable on a plane to Luxor. On a bus, long trips are tiring. We went to Cairo by bus, so we regretted all the way that we didn’t take it on a plane, we were very tired. And after arriving from Luxor, we had time for dinner, and felt yourself perfectly.

Well, who cares. For example, after the plane I leave all day, my head splits and the eardrums are pressed in - the pain is unbearable, but you just ride the bus and talk with the guide about the history of Egypt and the modern way of life. In addition, we left at 4 am, returned at 11:00 pm and during this time we saw Thebes and the Valley of the Queens and the Ears of Memnon and went on a Nile cruise to the paradise of Banana Island, where we were treated to local bananas, hibiscus tea and a bottle of water 0.5 liters was given on the road. We paid only 70 dollars (lunch on the ship was included in the price). In general, we quickly reached Cairo and the pyramids by bus from Hurghada, paid $ 80 (lunch is also included in the price). So Sharm is for fish and Hurghada is the best place to see Ancient Egypt.
