Thank you so much for your excellent videos. It's been so good I've decided to join. Like you, my son has always had dreams of visiting Loxor and the Tombs I've shared your travels with him and he really loved them. You seem to know where to go and you give pointers on things to do and not to do. Take Care be safe.
Wow. Was that really £1k for 3 nights? You should have gone to the Winter Palace where Howard Carter always stayed. That is luxury that you can afford!
£1k for Luxor is so much. I’ve stayed in many of the Luxor East Bank hotels & have paid nothing close to that. I’m in Luxor currently as my husband is from here & as a Brit when you’re with an Egyptian your experience is very different. No one tries to sell me a thing.
I used to watch this channel on my own to relax once kids were finally in bed, but now its become a channel the whole family want to watch, and theirs really nothing else that we ALL enjoy. Keep doing what you do. Tim, please never stop 😂💙
Hi Tim its noon surprise to me your channel has blown up hun .I Lways knew hoyd hit the yourube bug time. Your forever fan Laura from shropshire England. My daughter went to bals shop irger day and he was watchin your channel lmao. Your a super star tim. ❤ livegabbi channel also.
I also watch his channel the most I have a fair few favourite channels and walk with me Tim is my number 1 i love seeing the different places he goes and with his family to ❤ and wonder how expensive it is and how he does it lol
This channel is awesome this video is amazing you have really shared about the people you met too .Egyptians are such warm and hospitable and generous people
I am pretty poor and do not travel so your videos fill me up with great info and experiences. I love how meticulously your describe everything. It helps those of us that cant be there- to feel like we have been.
I wasn’t keen to go but my husband desperately wanted to and eventually wore me down. We travelled with a company known in the UK for looking after “older” travellers and I was absolutely awestruck at what we saw. You have to see it to believe it. Yes there was security everywhere and yes the locals were pushy but travelling in company with a guide gave us protection. A must see destination.
Egypt is one of the best places to visit, but it doesn't make enough propaganda like other countries. The Egyptians are kind.,friendly and hosbitable people.
The Hilton looks nice but I must say I would go for the colonial grandeur of the Old Winter Palace where we stayed twice . It had a wonderful atmosphere and we were treated like royalty .
Going by your video, Egyptian people seem so kind, welcoming and friendly. I have always wanted to go to Egypt, but my family is terrified of going. I am an avid traveler, so I can't say I've never been anywhere, but Egypt is definitely a dream destination of mine! I think more people would feel safe going to this wonderful country if they prepare themselves for possible scams, learn about basic culture and customs, and book excursions in groups versus being alone in a country you have never been before. My experiences may be different than yours as a solo woman traveler, but I genuinely like to believe that 95% of people are kind, compassionate and understanding. I really hope to go to Egypt by my 70th birthday haha. Currently 32 so quite a ways a way, but definitely something to look forward to.
I'm an Egyptologist by profession and just wanted to share a quick tip. You will be 'approached' continually whilst visiting the sites, just say 'El Docktor' and they should leave you alone....
Feels like we were right there along with you...because we were 😂. We were in the same balloon segment as you! Lovely to have some quality footage of the flight as that video you could pay for was pretty rubbish. And so weird that we travelled so far and still ended up with someone from Norfolk - me and my sister (also in the video) grew up in Winterton 😅
Hello from Nee Zealand Tim, look forward to you coming here. My cruise down the Nile and trip to Egypt was the best trip of my life, unfortunately was 45° Celsius and really quite unbearable heat, but still worth every moment. Will def go back in April when its cooler. I never got bad belly when all my companions did. I stayed away from anything with water/ice. No salad washed in water, only bottled water, only hot food and probably about 2 tonne of pastires and desserts. I found that staying away from all non bottled water was the key, even when brushing my teeth I used bottled water Thank you Tim, you have literally allowed me to relive so many special moments I had. I love watching you and your travels but this one was just a little more special ❤
This is the one country that I really want to visit in my lifetime. My parents did a Nile cruise years ago and absolutely loved it. They said the boat and staff were wonderful. I just wanted to say that your photography walking in to the tombs was amazing and made me feel like I was walking there along with you. I dont know what camera you used on the end of that stick but its doing a great job. Thank you x
I visited Luxor during a Week's cruise along the Nile as a kid. Now I'm finishing my BA in Egyptology and was at a premier for a new exhibition I helped with The trip really gave me the love for Egypt that I've kept ever since! It's wonderful to see you filming some of the areas I've been studying for 3 years - I've literally been translating a papyrus that records the first strike in history. It mentions how the workers who build the tombs of the Valley of the Kings walked to the back of the mortuary temples that you flew over. After my Masters that I'll start later this year, I hope to travel to luxor to really put my studies to the test!
I was supposed to do this very trip 30 years ago with my Grandfather. Unfortunately circumstances were against us and he passed away. So thank you Tim I watched this vlog with glee and my grandfather in my heart x
I loved Egypt when I went in June 2007. Was nice and hot - high 30s to 40 degrees so I felt like I was back home in Perth, Western Australia, which I had been away from for over two years. It was like another world, which is quite interesting, as I have heard that there may be extra-terrestrials responsible for building the pyramids - I wouldn't be surprised. I did a Nile cruise which was great! I should have paid the extra to do a 5 star cruise but I thought 4 star would be fine. A few teething problems at the start but it turned out alright so I didn't regret it. I spent a few days in Cairo and that was an eye-opening experience. I went to Hurghada for 4 days on the Red Sea and managed to relax and feed fish just in from the shoreline as well as go on a boat dive. I found the people to be very authentic, friendly and accommodating. One guy in Cairo started a conversation and when he knew I was looking to buy bananas he took me down some side streets to find them. I would never have found them otherwise. He owned a perfume/scent shop and took me there and gave me a drink. We chatted for about an hour and he showed me pictures of him with some well-known people. I bought some male and female scents which I found excellent. You only needed a small dab and it lasted ages. Would love to go back again one day...
Loving the Egypt series Tim! Fantastic seeing Luxor, Valley of the Kings, Tutankhamun & my favourite place is the architecture at the Temple of Hatshepsut! The Hilton hotel with a backdrop of the Nile is a Dream!
Wow wow Tim … that was an amazing look at places I’ll never be able to see for myself.. thank you for a fantastic experience .. love watching all you create for us 👏❤️🙋🏻♀️
Fro someone born in the tropics and spent years living in parts of the Middle East, that is the correct recommendation to stop diarrhea and stomach upsets: NO ice, NO salads, consume fruit only that you have washed ( or seen washed ) and stick to cooked foods wherever possible.
@@ghamandlupinwalkingtours Ice in some countries, Egypt is one example, is not necessarily made from purified water. It may be made from tap water which can be contaminated with pathogens. People who live in those countries are used to the water and can tolerate it.. they may have gut bugs which can neutralize the pathogens. Westerners don't and can become very ill.
Love your videos! I'm a primary school teacher and we are studying The Ancient Egyptians-Longleat class loved this video of you visiting the pyramids. Thank you!
This is one of yuur best videos so far .. imo. I don’t comment usually bc I play yuur videos on the big screen tv.. totally enjoying seeing these Egyptian sites I’d never go see myself.. thank you. Good job and another enjoyable video Tim ..
Thank you for sharing. Egypt has been on my wish list for many years. I am now determined to go. I’m a single female in my 50’s, can anyone recommend a travel company where you are looked after?
Lovely watching this brought back so many memories of our many visits. A wonderful place. Proposed to my husband on a hot air balloon whilst in Luxor.🐞
I think this is one of the nicest hotels you have stayed in Tim. The outside pool and gardens are amazing. the whole video was superb, glorious sights . I want to go there, can never afford it so thankyou so much for showing us all these videos. Our very own tour guide Tim ! x
We did this three weeks before the tragedy. He was saying we are not supposed to go this high ,but he and another violinist were trying to go higher than each other. When we landed locals came on motor bikes to beg on us. .we had quiet group, thank goodness, no one was loud. Still was an unforgettable experience..
Hey Tim, no ice in drinks and stay clear of the salad washed in normal water. We where the only ones on a Nile cruise to not get the poops x Brilliant video definitely made us want to go back
I stumbled onto this channel when tim stayed in sashas in Manchester and watched ever since. To see the growth of tim and his channel has been amazing. Im so happy for him and his family and i hope it continues to grow. Well done mate. Well deserved.
I have been there in 2001 - shortly after the massacre of Luxor (Dayr-el-Bahri in 1997). I also stayed at the Hilton Luxor Resort and Spa and I was so surprised: everything has changed! I don't recognize anything. Even more in the Valley of the Kings the "Visitor Center" vis-à-vis of King Tut-Anch-Amuns grave didn't barely exist. There was nothing (I remember well, because I was thirsty and wanted really something to drink). The Temple of Karnak: so many new sidewalks in front an in the temple - I can't believe it! It's a whole new place... I think I have to revisit Luxor and Karnak.
Wow, Tim really has grown and perfected his style! So professional, top quality content. From run down hotels to these awesome abroad series which I’ve been binging!! From 100K subs to half a million. Well deserved mateyyy
I have a trip to Egypt & Jordan booked for next year & one of the places we’re going is Luxor. I’m so excited! Thanks for posting this, I love your videos!
Sir don't ever use the hotel kettle at all ,you can search on internet why, second what was the time when you went there seems to me in winter ,and is your room within the resort or separated ?
Me and my daughter love to watch this channel. It is probably our favorite channel to watch together. She always makes sure that I don’t forget to give each video a thumbs up!
This brought back memories of my cruise down the nile. Karnak and Hatsheput's temples, valley of the kings all things you have to see in real life to understand the size of these antiquities. Also Abu Simbel is on another level! Great vid as ever Tim
I am new to your channel, but have seen a few of you videos and every time it surprises me on how real and authentic you present your videos. I also found Gaby’s channel here as well, she is also super authentic ! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hi Tim. Really enjoyed your aLuxor trip. The temples and the tombs were amazing. I know Egypt has celebrated 7 milliniums so I can't even imagine how old the sights are.
Thanks for making it possible for me to travel the world and do things I'm too scared or poor to do. I'm elderly but you're helping my sense of adventure feel young! Safe travels!
The video quality is amazing Tim .. I love back those times how much they worshipped the gods and goddesses and the after life and how they were with animals absolutely incredible
I was in Luxor just after the terror attack in the 90's so it was empty, had a personal guide showing us the amazing Hapshepsut Temple( Hot chicken soup as he said😉)....
My hubby and I absolutely love Egypt, we've been 3 times, and honestly we couldn't have asked for better service and experience. The locals are so warm and friendly. Yes pushy at first, but a firm but polite no thank you is all that you need, especially if you say it in Arabic, which can surprise them, and does get appreciated. As for tummy troubles, my hubby has quite bad IBS and we have never once been ill in Egypt, if anything he was a hell of a lot better. We learned our lesson on our honeymoon 14 years ago when we went to the Dominican Republic. Never have ice in your drinks, no matter how hot it is, or if they insist it is bottled water. Also a big factor in an upset tummy and feeling poorly believe it or not is the temperature of your room. We all go on holiday and with it being super hot, especially in places like Egypt, we like to crank the air conditioning up and have a cold room. Going between cold and hot several times a day can affect you, and make you poorly and we were advised never to have the room lower than 21°C, so you don't get that huge shock when going between the two. Obviously hygiene is also a big factor, so if the hotel doesn't have a sink or sanitizer machines outside the restaurant (this was before the pandemic) just get yourself a little bottle of hand sanitizer and before you eat, use it especially after touching things in communal areas, door handles, stair rails etc etc. Also don't bother buying loads of insect repellent over here, wait until you get there, find a local supermarket and get some of the local ones. They are far cheaper, but also much more effective, they do absolutely stink though, but it's definitely worth it. I absolutely love that you've been to Cairo and now Luxor, and highlighted both in the way that you have. One final warning on Egypt, beware the local vodka! Oh my word that stuff is like rocket fuel, so if you normally drink doubles, start out with a single, and see how you get on. I look forward to your next post. X
Tim thats why i always say you go the Extra mile for us and take us all over the globe you are worth every penny you get, well done tim.LIKE I SAY THE VERY BEST YOU TUBER X
I was there 38 years ago. The valleys of kings, queens and nobles are still as commercial as ever. We had been able to climb the hill between the valleys. It was great. The hatchepsout queen's temple was not open to the public. Only the facade. Thanks for showing us the inside. I confirm that Toutancamon's tomb is a replica of the real one but it's still great. Do the sound and light show in karnak please. 😊
Tim. You have been to so many places, I am currently not in a financial position to travel so you have done me a favour by going to places I can only dream of. I love your stuff. By the way I am from Folkestone and i saw you’ve visited the Burstin haha. Keep doing your stuff as you’re providing content thats keeping me going until i can travel again!
Your videos are so natural Tim, I feel like I’ve just been walking around with a mate. I also like how you don’t add music and show only the glossy side of things, it keeps it real! Cheers.
This video has the perfect balance of walking around the destination and quickly touring the hotel! I love how you show the full walk- sped up, without cutting away- while entering these epic tombs! I've never seen another video do that in these places, and I think it really adds to the experience and context of the place. Thanks for making great videos and explaining why you were "half bored" in this one. The caption still spelled it that way. LOL.
Gorgeous! What an amazing place. Gave me goosebumps to see inside the tombs - the footage you got is spectacular. The private table by the edge of the Nile reminded me of Shirley Valentine! Fantastic video Tim👏
Was there in 2003, 3 months after the US invaded Iraq and there was some 'regional unrest'. Apart from extra soldiers here and there, I loved the place. Great vid, Tim!
Looks amazing, would be too hot for me even on the coolest days. I loved the tombs and the balloon ride looked like a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for the great video, felt like I was there without the mosquitos!
Luxor Egypt looks an amazing place to visit with historic pyramids & building the Valley of the Kings and tours & the Hilton you stayed in looked nice too , great review as always Tim 👍
Hi Tim Loved the vlog- bought back lots of memories. Best way to visit in my opinion is a Nile cruise. Lots of tours, protected from sellers who can be enthusiastic! Sunset and sunrise every day over the river. Plus travel to Aswan dam which is spectacular. Maybe an idea for another trip.
Was once told by a large jamaican man, that the BEST mosquito repellant was fresh squeezed lemons with water in a spray bottle. Yet to test it outside of england yet, but for sure worth trying.

Seeing you in Egypt ment a lot to me it was my mums last holiday before she passed so good to see you walking where she walked Thank you 💜
sorry to hear that Karena
Aww that must be a comfort for you❤
The artwork in the tombs are mind blowing. I have a degree in fine arts...I'm absolutely fascinated with the art and everything else! Thanks, Tim!

@@Alexandra-rb7ju , what are you afraid of, if you do not mind me asking?
Tim you have a great way of making us feel that we're there with you thanks
Yes, it feels like a little holiday through the screen, it's very uplifting.
I appreciate that
Yes agreed👍💯
Can’t beat a Friday evening watching Tim’s channel
He gave you that 5 Egypt dollars because its a piece of history , i mean look at the bill , its all nice and clean. Real work of art ❤
It would look nice framed as a reminder of that moment, and be worth much more for the memories. It's UK value seems to be about 8 pence.
It's because it was Muslims 'festival which is called Eid and we give people money in this occasion as a gift

Visited as a teenager in 1995 still as awe inspiring today . The street of 1000 hassles is the nickname of the bazaar

After watching your time in Kairo, I think I prefer Luxor. Beautiful area! ❤
The Nile maybe the longest, but I'm sure the Amazon is the largest river.
I'm amazed you weren't shocked 🤣

Excellent video Tim. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I have visited Egypt only once. Done Tunisia 5 times, and Morocco 4 times.
That was an amazing journey. I never even realized you could do all that. The tour inside the pyramids was phenomenal. Thank you!

The ice in your drinks can be a problem in places like that. Might be that which gives you a bad tummy.
yes I know I never have it
I wanted to travel to Egypt this year, but it being so close to the conflict I think I'll avoid it for now.
Glad you enjoyed it.
That's like saying you don't want to visit New York because of the earthquakes in California.
So glad you recognise the locals including you re Ramadan,
As ever, a great honest review. thanks Tim.
Good video. Impressed by that landing operation.
Me too!
Done this twice was amazin.
And cruise on the nile.
Best holiday ever.
loved visiting Luxor. So much history
So pleased you enjoyed your visit to Luxor. I'm a Brit living here and absolutely loving it.
Just breathtaking…Loved every minute of this video, Tim! Brilliant!
The video quality is amazing Tim .. I love back those times how much they worshipped the gods and goddesses and the after life and how they were with animals absolutely incredible
I loved the tour of the tombs, fantastic 🤩Great video as always & thanks Tim 🏝️😎
I was in Luxor just after the terror attack in the 90's so it was empty, had a personal guide showing us the amazing Hapshepsut Temple( Hot chicken soup as he said😉)....
Your view from your room is amazing and thank you for sharing this video I love it.
My hubby and I absolutely love Egypt, we've been 3 times, and honestly we couldn't have asked for better service and experience. The locals are so warm and friendly. Yes pushy at first, but a firm but polite no thank you is all that you need, especially if you say it in Arabic, which can surprise them, and does get appreciated. As for tummy troubles, my hubby has quite bad IBS and we have never once been ill in Egypt, if anything he was a hell of a lot better. We learned our lesson on our honeymoon 14 years ago when we went to the Dominican Republic. Never have ice in your drinks, no matter how hot it is, or if they insist it is bottled water. Also a big factor in an upset tummy and feeling poorly believe it or not is the temperature of your room. We all go on holiday and with it being super hot, especially in places like Egypt, we like to crank the air conditioning up and have a cold room. Going between cold and hot several times a day can affect you, and make you poorly and we were advised never to have the room lower than 21°C, so you don't get that huge shock when going between the two. Obviously hygiene is also a big factor, so if the hotel doesn't have a sink or sanitizer machines outside the restaurant (this was before the pandemic) just get yourself a little bottle of hand sanitizer and before you eat, use it especially after touching things in communal areas, door handles, stair rails etc etc. Also don't bother buying loads of insect repellent over here, wait until you get there, find a local supermarket and get some of the local ones. They are far cheaper, but also much more effective, they do absolutely stink though, but it's definitely worth it. I absolutely love that you've been to Cairo and now Luxor, and highlighted both in the way that you have. One final warning on Egypt, beware the local vodka! Oh my word that stuff is like rocket fuel, so if you normally drink doubles, start out with a single, and see how you get on. I look forward to your next post. X
Wow! The sceneries of Egypt was really beautiful!
Tim thats why i always say you go the Extra mile for us and take us all over the globe you are worth every penny you get, well done tim.LIKE I SAY THE VERY BEST YOU TUBER X
I was there 38 years ago. The valleys of kings, queens and nobles are still as commercial as ever. We had been able to climb the hill between the valleys. It was great. The hatchepsout queen's temple was not open to the public. Only the facade. Thanks for showing us the inside. I confirm that Toutancamon's tomb is a replica of the real one but it's still great. Do the sound and light show in karnak please. 😊
The sound and light show was so amazing
I’ve done the pyramids of Giza but Valley of the Kings is on the bucket list - looks fantastic. Awesome video Tim as always
Hi Tim Wow this looks great such historic buildings. Looks lovely hotel. Thanks for sharing with us . Love to you as always Tracey ❤❤❤❤❤
Tim. You have been to so many places, I am currently not in a financial position to travel so you have done me a favour by going to places I can only dream of. I love your stuff. By the way I am from Folkestone and i saw you’ve visited the Burstin haha. Keep doing your stuff as you’re providing content thats keeping me going until i can travel again!
Your videos are so natural Tim, I feel like I’ve just been walking around with a mate. I also like how you don’t add music and show only the glossy side of things, it keeps it real! Cheers.
Loved your content. I stayed at the hilton in luxor it was amazing 😊
This video has the perfect balance of walking around the destination and quickly touring the hotel! I love how you show the full walk- sped up, without cutting away- while entering these epic tombs! I've never seen another video do that in these places, and I think it really adds to the experience and context of the place. Thanks for making great videos and explaining why you were "half bored" in this one. The caption still spelled it that way. LOL.
Nile Cruise was one of my favorite holidays, tours and guides included in the price. Thanks for bringing me so many memories, tempted to go again 😁
This was such an enjoyable episode, I have always wanted to visit Egypt. Thank you from Kenya 🇰🇪
Gorgeous! What an amazing place. Gave me goosebumps to see inside the tombs - the footage you got is spectacular. The private table by the edge of the Nile reminded me of Shirley Valentine! Fantastic video Tim👏
Was there in 2003, 3 months after the US invaded Iraq and there was some 'regional unrest'. Apart from extra soldiers here and there, I loved the place. Great vid, Tim!
Wow. The statues, the4 paintings, the architecture. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for the video and the hot air balloon.
So enjoyable. Tks Tim
This is a brilliant channel. Thank you for your insight to so many exciting places. Especially Egypt.
You visited my dream location and did all the things I would like to do, it looks incredible.
I love history so would be interested in the tombs.
Looks amazing, would be too hot for me even on the coolest days. I loved the tombs and the balloon ride looked like a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for the great video, felt like I was there without the mosquitos!
Luxor Egypt looks an amazing place to visit with historic pyramids & building the Valley of the Kings and tours & the Hilton you stayed in looked nice too , great review as always Tim 👍
Thanks Chris
I don't think I could endure the relentless hammering of the scammers and people pestering you, not to mention the corrupt officials.
Hi Tim Loved the vlog- bought back lots of memories. Best way to visit in my opinion is a Nile cruise. Lots of tours, protected from sellers who can be enthusiastic! Sunset and sunrise every day over the river.
Plus travel to Aswan dam which is spectacular. Maybe an idea for another trip.
Dear Tim, I enjoy your channel. However, why do you pronounce -ing as -ink (eg anythink)? Is it common in the area of England from which you come?
Waking up on a Saturday morning to a new video by Tim. Great stuff
Was once told by a large jamaican man, that the BEST mosquito repellant was fresh squeezed lemons with water in a spray bottle.
Yet to test it outside of england yet, but for sure worth trying.
I have a very busy few days . Just relaxing watching this . Thanks so much Tim .
This is really extraordinary to see, especially with no crowds at the beginning. I love the minimalist chic of Egypt. No gaudiness.
Awesome Tim! you take me places that I'll never see. Your footage is some of the best I have EVER seen of the tombs and Karnak! Thank you very much!
Wow amazing 🌅 Thanks for the tour Tim 👍
