Hi Peeps,
It's been an incredibly long time since I posted on here and a very long time since my last visit,
The main reason for not doing my my usual twice yearly visits is the non existent direct...

If you cannot get to Heathrow easily, then flying into Luxor can be a real chew-on!
From the North, we now find it much much easier, and convenient, to fly direct from N/cle to Hurghada and bus it...

I think it's the interest in history that attracts tourism, it did me. Before living there we would go 3 or 4 times a year to explore the history. We like most of you know lived there 8 years, during...

Hepzibah, this last year I went to Fleetwood Mac Concert, Queen Concert, Il Divo Concert, and a few 60's bands in Concert so no I don't miss out, I just enjoy. Has any of them appeared at the...

We would love to take a two week break next year, but Larnaka to Luxor is 2 hour flight direct. It's the 4-5 hour stop over in Cairo that puts us off.
In a total of 7 hours we could get to India. I...
Just been reading all the info in the email from my Easyjet booking and found this bit where it says, if you bring any medication , you will need a Doctors letter saying that that you need it and how...

I flew to Rome with easyjet in August and was asked to provide a Doctors letter stating what medication I was on and why. I got the letter at a cost of £25 and also put a copy of my prescription in...
There are six flamingos now resident in the winter palace hotel gardens
Last post
These pale birds in the palace garden reminded me of how the flamingos at Copenhagen ZOO went from white to coral, when they were put on a diet containing paprika.
What has happened to the flights from Heathrow to Luxor? They are on the egyptair timetable but when you go to book they are not there. They are still advertised on sites like skyscanner but not on...

Ooooh, what a cock-up! I know one passenger (not a member on here) who will be absolutely livid at this.
I see that the first post below, under 'Similar Topics', was from dear old Bombay. I still...

Although I have posted the information in good faith, I suggest that you make enquiries locally about it as someone has suggested that it will probably only be for Egyptians.
1. hi, one of my friends daughter traveled from Egypt on 14th Aug, she have lost her baggage and have not received the same at Cairo airport. Pls do the...

Surely the barcode you’re given at checkin should say where your luggage is. I checked mine from Heathrow to Luxor via Cairo and was concerned my luggage wouldn’t make it. On checking at Cairo the...
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to finally be able to visit Luxor again and would love to bring my daughter to stay in the flat I lived in many years ago. We rented it through Keefy and Connie and just loved...

We packed it in a few years ago
Does that mean that if I happen to mention my blog or tourist apartment in a post, it won't be refused; like it used to be?
In response to Heathrow's request to cut back on flights, Egyptair have done just that. Yesterday's 778 was cancelled, and the evening flight has also been affected. I'm booked to fly out next month,...

When transferring at Cairo I always show my baggage tag to the agent to make sure it’s on the flight. Also the AirTag is very limited in use. As we were taxiing out to the runway it showed my luggage...
I’m not one usually to complain but I asked for a beer at the poolside in the Iberotel and the menu said 100le. To my surprise the bill came to 127le. When I queried this with management they told me...
This is a strange one. I've stayed at the Iberotel Luxor in the past and find it a reasonable place to stay for 3 weeks. But I've also stayed at other hotels around the region and they all lack...
For interest I've just got a reasonable deal from EE regarding phone charges. Normally calls are £2.05 per minute to and from the UK, but I've got a bolt on for £11.40 for 60 minutes of calls to and...

The problem I have is I'm with a sim only contract with EE until March next year, so my hands are tied until then. But I've no complaints regarding EE, whereas some friends are having endless...
Terrifying moment hot air balloon carrying dozens of Western tourists plummets from 200ft before crash landing in Egypt injuring two after blowing off course 'and hitting another balloon mid-air'...

This happened quite some time ago when a balloon came down in the fields at the top end of Television Street. What I remember most about it was the people who went to recover the balloon were really...
