A Must-Visit for Anyone Passionate About Ancient Egypt - I highly recommend this journey to anyone who shares a passion for Pharaonic civilization. In Luxor, you are standing at the very heart of that golden era especially during the time of the Middle Kingdom, when the reach of the pharaohs was at its peak.
This city holds some of the most significant and awe-inspiring monuments from that powerful era, where art, economy, and urban development had reached remarkable heights. You can truly feel the grandeur and refinement of ancient Egypt with every site you visit.
I may be someone with a deep interest in ancient Egyptian history, but every time I visit Luxor, I discover something new, a fresh layer of knowledge and fascination that keeps drawing me back. It’s a destination that never stops teaching and inspiring.

Perfect family vacation - We had a perfect trip to Egypt for a week with elite trip all booking process was through the website even payment .in whole customers support Lesley gave us a call and confirmed with us all details she was very open for any changes if we love to do but we just wish for the normal itinerary have to say very organised service.
Upon arrival they were waiting for us to our check in at the nile cruise, Miss La fayan that boat was beyond expectations a high-end accommodation we spent there 5 days would never forget cruising at the nile is truly unique experience.
We did also the valley of the king and Karnak temple in luxor .
We have great opportunity to stopped in edfu to visit the wonderful temple of Horus the God of the sky. As well we made one more stop in Kom ombo where we visited the iconic Ptolemaic temple for God Sober and Horus.
Next day early morning we flew to Abu Simble where are the colossal statues of Ramses II on an artificial the dome which had been always the largest project had made by UNESCO
And finally we back home with a lot of photos for unforgettable memories and unique family vacation
Truly elite trip it the right choice for arranging perfect vacation

Best friend trip - We had booked a big trip to Egypt for 13 days we were a group of 12 we travelled with elite trip cross the whole country we even were able to customize our trip itinerary .
As we stopped in Cairo for 3 days we also spent one day in Alexandra then we flew to Aswan for 2 days then we sailed north to Luxor in a beautiful boat with big sails (dahabyia) what is unique about dahabyia is its do a truly sailing between the river tiny island where you can be able to found some of flocks of migratory birds on a seasonal journey to the African jungles.
After that outstanding trip we got amazing 5 days on marsa alam resort on the red sea where we have an exceptional experience explores the breathtakingly richness coral reef
Absolutely we had the best vacation ever
