Fantastic 2-day Luxor trip

We did the 2 day trip to Luxor (from Hurghada) and hat a great time. The hotel we stayed at had a fantastic pool directly on the Nile river. Seeing all the temples and valley of the kings was amazing. The hot air ballon ride was easily the highlight of the trip and we also loved the sunset Felluca ride. Mohammed was a great driver and always picked us up on time and we also really liked having Shaimaa as a guide. It was a bit exhausting with the heat and getting up extremly early two days in a row but we would definetly book this trip again.
