- Is Luxor safe to visit? What are the hotels like? What can I visit?
In this video, I will give you my guide to why you should visit Luxor!
Luxor is a city on the east bank of the Nile River in southern Egypt. It's on the site of ancient Thebes, the pharaohs’ capital at the height of their power, during the 16th-11th centuries B.C. Today's city surrounds 2 huge, surviving ancient monuments: graceful Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple, a mile north. The royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens are on the river’s west bank.

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.
That's a lot. Nice place but off season and everything.
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!
You should go to grand rotana resort and spa in sharm 5* hotel beautiful infinity pool and like the largest pool you will see
£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 😂💙
That is awesome! Thanks Sophie.. and family, means alot
I be watch it with my wife. I have been sharing Tim's videos with all my friends and family.
Really like your honest reviews guy tried to charge u again happened to us aswell❤
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
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.
I'm amazed you weren't shocked 🤣
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.
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❤
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👍💯
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.
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 😅
I’ve seen these places many times on TV but your walk arounds give a much better sense of scale. It’s almost like being there myself! Thank you sir.
Can’t beat a Friday evening watching Tim’s channel
My late husband and I visited Egypt five times,absolutely loved it,very happy memories😊
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
Thanks Ross
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...
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
Love that you’re doing more than just hotels!
Ypur travel videos are the best Tim.I always look forward to fridays and Sundays to see what you have Next . You are so brave
Thanks Brian
Visited as a teenager in 1995 still as awe inspiring today . The street of 1000 hassles is the nickname of the bazaar
Excellent video Tim. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say I have visited Egypt only once. Done Tunisia 5 times, and Morocco 4 times.
Tim, are you aware that 10 years ago the Egyptian government paid half a million dollars to construct an Identical Copy of King Tuts Tomb very near the original for all the Tourists to visit and the original is only visited by VIPs. And they DON'T tell you that it's a COPY. It was done to preserve the original as it was getting damaged by all the tourists.
That makes me glad I was there over 10 years ago. Also I read that a lot of things in the museum in Cairo were destroyed during the riots.
my friend from egypt went to luxor fpr the first time and she also visited aswan and then she went back to her mom’s birthplace and she will go to mecca she is saudi-egyptian and i am from iran and iraq but i am sunni
Yes you should visit the Luxor, Egypt there is so much history to see!
I have visited Luxor I was SHOCKED! 😁
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 ❤
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 👏❤️🙋🏻♀️
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 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!
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
Do not have ice in your drinks ! Only bottled water. Salads also risky . Eat only hot food.
nope never lol
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.
Why does the ice make you poorly?
@@ghamandlupin 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.
@@ghamandlupin probably use local water not good quality
Found your channel a couple days ago. Love your honest observations. It's fun to walk with you Tim!! Cheers from Oregon
Thanks and welcome
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.
I remember being in the Colliisum in Rome and feeling the history in the walls. Imagine similer in the tombs. Would love to go to them.
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.
Luv this !
I went to Egypt a few years ago. Got a poorly belly. The manager noticed I was not about for a few days approached me. I explained what was up and he told me before you come to my country you need to prepare your stomach, drink strong coffee with lemon in it....
good tip
Part of the Egypt experience is getting the shits.

Coffee with lemon 😕
Done this twice was amazin.
And cruise on the nile.
Best holiday ever.
Thank you for sharing! Amazing!
It's so beautiful seeing all the balloons hanging in the sky like christmas decorations
So pleased you enjoyed your visit to Luxor. I'm a Brit living here and absolutely loving it.
Nice one, Tim 👌 👏
Nice One Tim
I really enjoy your content, Tim
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
Amazing video Tim,the views,so cool❤
great set of vids from Egypt
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.🐞
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
Stunning view Tim.
Fabulous Tim, again!! Good job.😊
great footage and beautiful views
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.
thanks for the support
Tim ! A great job ! I’m living in Luxor West Bank since 35 years and I find your video fantastic ! Thanks a lot. And keep the 5 Pounds Tayeb gave you as a talisman.
Amazing!
Great footage
Wow that was an amazing experience Tim, great video 😊
Tim enjoy so much your trips all you do! 👍❤️
Nice tour enjoyed watching it very much Tim.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Thanks for watching!
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..
Wow what an amazing place. Thank you for a great video x
Nice to watch this video ...brought back memories of my own trip to Egypt which I absolutely loved....
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
Love your videos! I cant wait for the next one!! I am addicted!! Thank you Tim!!!
Really enjoyed this video !
Awesome, thank you!
Wow, that looks wonderful.
Wow amazing 🌅 Thanks for the tour Tim 👍

Wow, an amazing experience, thanks for the journey Tim🎉
History is amazing.. me and my dad are big history people it's just crazy how much everything changes over time irs full on
Absolutely stunning views!
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
Thanks for sharing
Great video Tim. Really liked this. Fascinating seeing the tombs and the view from the hot air balloon too. Keep up the good work
Good video. Impressed by that landing operation.
Me too!
Thanks Tim, This video has been really helpful with lots of tips. Thank you!! I look forward to visiting Luxor with my family in the near future. Many thanks again!
This is a brilliant channel. Thank you for your insight to so many exciting places. Especially Egypt.
Nicely done tim really enjoyed the video
Thanks 👍
Amazing, very beautiful 😮
Thanks a lot 😊
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.
I was just there a month ago, it was so beautiful to see so much history up close! Thank you for sharing this with us! 😊
Great videos as always Tim!
I appreciate that
Wow great video so interesting! Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vlog Tim
thanks
Fantastic video Tim. I have been to Egypt but not that area.
What an experience ❤
Your view from your room is amazing and thank you for sharing this video I love it.
