Highly recommend a morning tour and an afternoon hotel staycation.

During my trip to Luxor, I stayed at Iberotel Luxor. Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations for the accommodation, but as soon as I opened the window and saw the Nile River view, I was immediately amazed. The scenery of the Nile River right in front of you is truly a masterpiece. In the morning, the mist-covered river feels mysterious, and in the evening, the sunset spreading across the water is so beautiful that you could easily spend the whole day just inside the hotel. The package I booked through Trip.com included a guided West Bank tour with pickup and drop-off at Iberotel. The itinerary was well-organized: Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple in the morning, followed by the Valley of the Kings, Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and Colossi of Memnon in the afternoon. The guide was friendly and provided excellent explanations, making the historical sites even more enjoyable. The schedule was tight but not overwhelming, allowing for a fulfilling day. After the tour, returning to the hotel and sitting on the balcony with a beer while gazing at the Nile River felt like the quintessential Egyptian experience. Despite being in the city, the hotel is quiet and offers stunning views, making it perfect for those looking for a cost-effective stay. I highly recommend the combination of Iberotel Luxor and a guided tour in Luxor. It’s the best way to spend a perfect day and end it by admiring the Nile River. Location: Iberotel Luxor, Egypt
