You can also use their ATM to change Euro and Dollar, I would...

What is it with this airline? All their flights depart anything from 1 hour to 5 hours late to and from Heathrow. It makes connecting very difficult.

As far as I can tell, A-Four, there is no change here. I left Luxor in June to spend the summer in UK and now back to my normal life here in Luxor. Streets seem to more busy probably because school...
I just heard that TUI will be flying to Luxor from Gatwick from 7 November 2024.
Just completed a search on their website and found a flight departing 7 Nov to 21 Nov 2024 for £546 return

We have just recently booked flights only for next April Manchester to luxor, so looking forward not having to go to hurghada and transfer, its like the old days
It's many years since we were able to fly directly into luxor having to go to hurghada instead so if anyone can help I have a couple of questions. Is there an extra security check at luxor like there...

Not sure about extra security checks.

Our B&B customers mostly came via AirB&B for the last 10 years or so of running it, but their fees to the renters were very high. So much so that B&B at the Winter Pavilion was often quite a bit...

Not Luxor, but EasyJet have also introduced Birmingham to Hurghada which is another way if prepared for onward travel. Good for those based in the midlands.
Some good news for a change. EasyJet are flying from Gatwick to Luxor on Mondays and Thursdays from Nov 11th. Holidays available at a reasonable price as well.
I can hardly believe my eyes, looking at the exchange rate £1 = 39.06LE!!! Whats going on? Will the locals be charging more for their services? It must be a good time to holiday in Egypt.

OMG..It is dire. Sisi spending all of that money on his new City is the equivalent of Nero watching Rome burn to give way to his new creation.
This is totally wrong, this whole project has been a...
Just wondering if anyone on the forum has used the airport recently, who might know if there are still any smoking areas there now?

Hi A-Four. Thanks for your reply. Fingers crossed there'll be something there.
At security before Cairo Domestic Departures, a woman was told to leave her lighter. She started arguing and the man at the screen said: “No English, :a75: no allowed”. She accepted and left without...
