We went to Luxor in May of 2026. We hired George as our guide for 2 days - We hit the May heatwave - and George graciously adjusted our schedule to start early (6am) - which I would recommend even if it’s not hot because you can also avoid some of the crowds - We were picked up in a nice van type vehicle- very comfortable with air conditioning and a cooler full of cold drinks - off to a great start - add to this - George is literally a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the history of Egypt, Valley of the Kings, Queens, the Medina and on …. He grew up and still lives in Luxor - so he really is a local. We saw all the things that make Luxor so special, learned a lot AND avoided the 116 midday heat. We also had dinner reservations at the Al Moudira hotel - which was pretty far away from the Hilton where we were staying - and George arranged for us to have a driver pick us up and wait for us while we had dinner and drive us back - which made things very easy - Thank you George ! You made our trip to Luxor fun and memorable.
