Luxor Full Day Tour: West And East Banks With Lunch
“Awesome day”
Essam showed us around luxor for a day. He arranged everything, and picked us up at the airport. Halfway through the day it was hot, everyone wanted to go for a swim so he arranged a boat to take us up the river where we all went swimming. He also did all of this on very short notice, as we arranged it only 24hrs prior to arriving. It was an awesome day. Nate
