The International Airport is located in Luxor, which takes airplanes, both from European and from Middle Eastern countries, as well as in principle, is the main southern center for domestic flights in Egypt. Airplanes fly from Cairo to Luxor and approximately 1 hour in time they deliver all passengers. True, the route flights to Egyptair, and the ticket will cost about $ 230 round and back.
Mostly charter flights arrive here from Europe, in particular from London in winter, that is, when the highest season begins in the tourist Egypt. From the airport in Luxor organized tourists usually takes a transfer organized by the receiving hotel.
The only problem is that the airport in Luxor is very small, and therefore take things from the conveyor belt here is pretty difficult task. If you are planning to take a taxi from the airport, then you should know that it will cost no more than 150 Egypt pounds.
Do not pay attention to the suggestions of the so-called "taxi drivers" that will catch you right when leaving the airport - you have to walk a little away, until you see the private taxi drivers themselves and you can already negotiate with them. The fact is that half of people who tourists consider taxi drivers, as if actually they are not, these are ordinary climbing and on them not at all worth spending their time.
If you do not want to buy a dear ticket to the plane, and you have enough time to travel, and besides you want to see the country as you can become, then for you the most beautiful way there will be a train journey. In addition, it will be quite inexpensive.
You can choose for yourself train-express in Luxor from Cairo and go on it both in the first and second grade. But you need to know that the journey down along the Nile Valley occupies most of the day from 9 to 10 hours of time.
But how will love to admire the chic landscapes of Egypt. In the train you will serve snacks, but the choice is not too big, so it is better to go to the store before departure and buy yourself something to eat on the road.
You can also take advantage of night express in order to pass time for sightseeing. In addition, the night express is much cheaper than in the example of Deluxe night train. But this night Deluxe night train, which belongs to Aleba Egypt, can save you all time, but also provide maximum comfort.
There there are air conditioners everywhere and each train has a club car, as well as one and double coupe. Then it is also worth considering that dinners and breakfast are included in the ticket price. Also between Cairir and Luxor there are also trains of the second and third classes, but they are not modern, not too comfortable and stop almost almost at each station. So tourists will not comfortably travel on such trains.
It is possible in principle to use the bus that goes straight from the temple in Luxor to the main major cities of the country. But in Aswan and in Cairo, it is still better to go by train, and on the Sinai Peninsula only by the bus.
Also from Luxor to Aswan in principle can be reached by water. In addition, there are still cruises on Lake Nazir, who deliver tourists to the ancient Temple Abu-Simbel. If you have a time free and fair enough, then the cruise will be the most beautiful and interesting way to get there where you need.
