Egypt,Luxor
Egypt Air were good to travel with though they are a dry airline on most of the flights. I have had a lot of people ask me if they do alcohol on flights. They do on some routes so always check before, if this matters to you.
In Luxor I stayed on the MS Grand Rose which is a 5 star Nile cruise ship. They have two different suite types. I was lucky enough to stay in the Royal suite which was very nice. All suites have a mini bar, hair dryer, towels, and toiletries, so less for you to pack. The food on the ship was lovely and they cater for all dietary needs. They have their own chef on board and they even bake bread daily on board.
Karnak Temple is amazing, there is so much history and culture. It would be good to visit early in the morning then on the same night do the Kanark Temple Light Show. This has to be one of the main highlights.
Valley of the Kings was also very interesting. I found out so much than I ever knew, I went into the tombs as well which was a truly amazing experience,
Hatshepsut Temple really looks impressive, the views are fantastic and the history behind all of the temples is truly amazing.
Esna took around 5 hours to sail to on the Nile; this is where you get the chance to enjoy the on board facilities. Spa massages were really good and there is a pool on top of ship and roof top bar as well. The entertainment is good, from belly dancing to the Egyptian night party, this is where you get to take part and dress up if you wish, a good laugh.
Luxor Museum is a must, it has many things to see, all are reasonable priced as well. All trips are fully escorted, the staff on board are polite and always happy. Nothing was any trouble.
The only negative thing I can think of is when the locals hassle you but if you say NO they tend to back off.
