Well, this is out of the way, for those who want or love the peace and quiet of country air and life. Transportation is available to any of the historic sites, or market, or grocery-store, or take-away food shops. Souvenirs are abundant at the Valley of the Kings area before entering the gate, but you will need to work hard to get really great bartered prices. Walk away, and the price will come down! From this hotel, you will have access to whatever you would like in the beautiful ancient city of Thebes/Luxor. We arrived by bus from Cairo for $9.00 each, which is a wonderful price in 2025! and the hotel is very inexpensive...we spent 10 days there and will definitely be back for a longer stay of peace and quiet and rest and watching Christian videos with our phone internet or their internet service. Our room was large, beautiful, and modern, and the owner was very hospitable and willing to do anything for us! One warning: there are semi-dangerous dogs around the region of Luxor, so use the Rick-shaws or taxis, or keep a pocket full of rocks to chase off and away the dogs, and never touch their puppies!
