    I’m having no luck figuring out if you can simply walk into the airport for a domestic flight from Cairo to Luxor. Do you know if that’s possible? I’m not sure when I will visit Luxor while I’m staying in Giza/cairo area and no one can seem to answer that question. If you did book online, how did you do it? Just don’t want to get scammed. Also what cell phone service did you go with and did you purchase before hand or somewhere there?

      ​@Scenicroutetraveler Thank you. I and five other tourists had a group tour in Luxor for two days and each of us paid $10 each per person for the day first and $10 for the second day. I did not go to Aswan and Abu Simbel, because a tourist advised me not to, because there is not much to see there plus I was tired of traveling and walking. But, next time I will definitely visit Aswan, Abu Simbel, Hurgada, and Sharm El Sheikh.
