Edfu Temple: Cruising up the Nile River from Aswan, we make one final, early morning stop before we’re scheduled to reach Luxor this afternoon. This is the Temple of Edfu. One of the best preserved shrines in all of Egypt.
So many stories and pharaohs and gods, it’ll make your head spin, but the biggest thing to remember is that this place is primarily dedicated to the Egyptian God Horus and Egyptian Goddess Hathor; two of the most significant deities of Ancient Egypt.
Over the centuries, the temple was forgotten and became buried under almost 40 feet of sand and silt from the Nile, and locals even built their homes over the submerged temple grounds.How this place could have ever been taken fore-granted, blows my mind.
Nile River Cruise: Back onboard, we continue upstream and pass through the river’s lock system. Which apparently is the perfect place to do your souvenir shopping. Once we’re in the clear, it’s smooth sailing the rest of the way up to Luxor.
Karnak Temples: As our cruise ship docks along the Nile in Luxor, we end our time on the water and immediately set out to discover why people characterize this city as the “world’s greatest open-air museum.”
Karnak Temple or simple Karnak is said to be the second most visited site in Egypt behind the Pyramids in Giza. The key difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time it was developed and used.
30 different pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach such a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere.
And then right down the Spinx Avenue from Karnak is the world famous Luxor Temple.
Luxor Temple: Unlike the other temples, Luxor Temple is not dedicated to a specific god or pharaoh in death, instead, it is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship - basically an important place where kings were crowned. Alexander the Great even claims he was crowned here.
Kids, skip school and come to Luxor. it’s a history book in real-life.
Habu Temple: Last but certainly not least, my personal favorite of three… Habu Temple
Back across the river, on the West Bank of the Nile rests the grounds of Medinet Habu or the city of Habu. An expansive complex that was built by Ramses III and dedicated to the Egyptian God, Amun; and this place has so many incredible features.
Truthfully, we could go on and on about the fascinating aspects of this place, from it’s abnormally deep carvings to the ceremonies performed here, but at the risk of overwhelming you with temple footage, we press on.
Valley of Kings: Long story short, Many Egyptian Kings and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom had the same big dream; to be buried at the Pyramids of Giza; as the pyramids are 2,000 years older than this site. When that wasn’t possible, they found the next best thing, to be buried here, under the rocks shaped like a pyramid on the West bank of the Nile For the next 500 years or so, that’s exactly what they did.
Luxor, Egypt Nightlife: After a full-on day dedicated to the ditties and death, we were in much need of some modern life, so for our last night in Luxor, we decide to just hit the streets on our own, and see what we can get into…

This was a beast of an episode to edit, haha! 😅 I hope you enjoyed watching, and thank you so much for the "👍" and comment! ❤If you want to travel like this in Egypt, send a DM to my friends at instagram.com/iegypte/ and tell them I sent you. See you next week from back in Cairo to eat some Pigeons! 😬
Hey Gareth! I been watching your videos for some time now! Love what you do. I would love to know your camera set upas I am inspired to pick up a camera and start a youtube channel. Thank You from Orange County!
Thanks brother 🥰🥰
Very informative and entertaining too..I got a big smile on the fertility god😂
Love it sooo much ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I loved this 📹 🎥
When the man said that food was for Egyptians only that was because your stomach can't handle it it's fesikh it's hard for some of us as Egyptians too by the way 😅
By the way, smell the breeze almost today ♥️ Or tomorrow, I'm not sure the hospitals would be filled with cases of poisoning, but we are in Ramadan, so I don't think the people will celebrate انا اصلا عمري مادقت الفسيخ وتقريبا عمري ما هدوقه بس بحب الرنجة والسردين ياخدو ١٠ من عشرة ونجمة يعني احنا بناكل رنحة وسردين مش بس في شم النسيم بناكل طول السنة عادي ♥️♥️
I'm Egyptian and I don't eat it it's gross
It's delicious 😋🤫
Haha, that's what he told me off camera. He said "trust me, you don't want to try this!" 😂
@@GarethLeonard it's kinda like Swedish surstromming but with bigger fish.
Smells really nasty but doesn't taste that bad. You should've tried a small piece. You may not find it anywhere else.
As an Egyptian i think no one could promote for tourism in Egypt showing its beauty and marvelous places with cristal clear vision more than you , Gareth. I appreciate every single word you said about my country ❤️
oh for real..i keep seeing videos on here of youtubers saying not to to visit egypt but watching gareth's videos these past couple of weeks just makes me want to visit even more :p
Thank you so much Ahmed! I truly appreciate that! 🙏
@@kden1922 Thank you!! 👊
Egypt is definitely one of the most fascinating places on Earth 💝
You Welcome in , Egypt.
🌹
@@Sam-dg2rg thank you 😊
I hope you will have the chance to visit egypt soon...and i hope you will enjoy it .
@@fawzybob9594 thank you dear 😊
I hope so as well!!
It Sure is
I visited here before 7 years and now watching from Somalia 🇸🇴. Miss Egypt 🇪🇬
انتو اخواتنا تنور ف اي وقت بلدك التاني مصر ♥️
@@user-fs3ct6nz4t شكرا لك وحفظ الله مصر وأهلها الطيبين الكرام.
I hope to visit Somalia one day! 🙏 Thanks for watching!!
@@GarethLeonard welcome. You will enjoy it.
مصر بلدك خويي
Going to Luxor in 18 days. Your videos show your open and non judgmental attitude toward travel. Very inspiring!
How was your flight
Your energy matched Egyptian energy that's why you enjoyed yourself
The Egyptian seller in 20:10 saying: "I can speak English good, but this guy's (Gareth's) accent is weird." 🤣🤣
The other one in 20:31 refusing to sell herring and salted fish to them because he knows they won't eat it.
Just Egypt at its best. 🇪🇬❤
Actually the first seller was referring to another lady was standing next to them that she is not speaking in English :)
Dude! Egypt has long been on the back-burner of my travel wishlist, but with these vids you have pushed it up to the front and turned up the flame, to High. Found you 3+ years ago researching for our trip to Japan, and the snow monkeys specifically, you have continued to inspire and entertain all that time... so, Thank you and keep traveling safe.
I truly appreciate it Rolando! This is your sign... it's time to experience Egypt! 😃
Egypt is awesome without camera and equipment and knowing how bargain.
The gates are called pylons. The Valley of the Kings was my favorite place in all Egypt. I was able to go into the Tomb of Seti I. It was so beautiful, I cried. When he said, " Egyptian eating; not for you", he was doing you a favor. One meal from a place like that gave me a four day case of Mummy Tummy.
الرجل بائع الفسيخ اخلاقه طيبة......قال له هذا الوجبة للمصريين فقط منعه من تجربة الوجبة السيئة......أنا كمصري هذه الوجبة جربتها مرة واحدة فقط وندمت لان بعد أكلها يجب بسرعة زيارة المستشفي😂 وبائع العطارة أيضاً رجل طيب أنا افتخر بوجود هذه النماذج في بلدنا مصر❤
احنا المصريين بنعشقها
مرة أكلت رنجة مش هقولك فسيخ قعدت اسبوع أشرب عصير ليمون
Welcome to your second country, Egypt. I hope that you will be happy in life
Thank you very much! Same to you!! 🙌
Once again a very educational and awesome video! Great work Gareth. The Egyptians love you man! Also your the only vlogger who every time cracks me up and makes me laugh with each video! Thank you
Thank you so much Hesham! I appreciate the kind words and for following along on these adventures! 🙏
Have you tried Mighty Travels Premium yet?
The best vlog I've ever seen about EGYPT 🇪🇬 😍 SPECIALLY THE ONES CONTAINING TRADITIONAL FOOD.
Thank you so much Mohammed! 🙏
Man you really enjoyed Egypt even more than me and I live here! you motivated me to do all of that. You really had a smart trip and you went to all the right places! It's obvious that you came to enjoy the country and not just to do a job and film a documentary for youtube that's why you had a great time. Thanks for the professional and educational vlogs
Thank you so much! Yes, I will talk a lot more about my experience in an upcoming episode... seems like a lot of UA-camrs had a different experience than me.
Literally just booked a trip today for September ,taking my dad to Luxor for 3 nights then over to Cairo for 2 nights ,will definitely be doing the hot airballoon....seriously can't wait now ,great video mate 👍
Best luck for you and ur dad
I'm 18 yrs old and I haven't visited any of that but I'll and I'll soon, right after i finish my freaking collage
Just wanted to point out that I'm an Egyptian 😅
@@ker0lsemad434 hey thanks man,this will be my first visit to Egypt and my dads first holiday abroad (he's 71) he's worked hard in construction all his life so this trip will sure be a special one.....Goodluck with your studies 👍
I'm from Egypt and I want to thank u to reflix our calture and community with this pure way keep on❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate the kind words! 🙏Thank you for following along, it has truly been a trip of a lifetime!!
I must say in comparison to the other vloggers who've been 2 Egypt you're the best by far ..dude u're so chill and u know how 2 enjoy ur time plus I don't know if it's pure luck or u're just a genius as u've chosen the right pple "real young and genuine locals who ain't lookin 2 rip you off" 2 show u around which is the key element 2 enjoy ur time in Egypt other wise u would see the very unwelcoming side of Egypt
loved this part about the hot balloon with that exciting music at first, and then the feeling of peace and calm after going up into the fresh air of Egypt,
It's so great to tell the whole world about that splendor country, Egypt, this country that many people think that's not good and the worst thing for tourists,
Through your great videos you can tell everyone in this world that every place in Egypt deserves real appreciation,
Thank you very much for that.🌷

Thank you so much Sama! The hot air balloon experience was definitely a highlight from the entire trip!! 🙏
The reason this man said "non Egyptians can't eat this" is because he is selling a very pungent, almost rotten type of salted fish called "fisikh". He meant you can't handle it, but it is not actually exclusive for Egyptians. Lol.
Amazing video tho.
Imagine if he had eaten it as it was salmon 😅
كفايه ريحته
Actually, the Egyptians are about to eat it tomorrow. Lol!
@@safinasefeen2935 Easter is tomorrow?
@@israamohamed شم النسيم
Woof? What a ride! Luxor is definitely a place to go...Your positivity makes it up for what a lot of yourubers are spreading about Egypt these days especially about filming and being harassed by the police
Haha, it was a full-on 48 hours in Luxor for sure!! 😅 Yes, I have seen many other UA-camrs having issues, and that just simply wasn't our experience. I will speak about this a lot more in an upcoming episode! 👍
@@GarethLeonard its all about attitude and how you interact and treat the hosts of the country your visiting and not making yourself out to be all high and mighty which a few other vloggers have done. Ive watched you in every country and you respect the people that are hosting you and dont take things for granted. Respect to you Gareth. Your a gentleman! Your the best out there in this genre for sure.
Magnificent and beautiful journey to this special country of the earth. That gift so much emotions, rich in ancient history, smells of spices in the air, and made of good hospitality. Good continuation!
Thank you so much Zoe! It truly was one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life! 🙏
Egypt will always be fascinating
It truly is! 🙌
The generous shop owner gave a quick free dawaa mashallah
He was great! 😃
I loved the ruins but I also loved the spice merchant who was so welcoming,your very personable guide,and the barber shop scene.Such great glimpses into the life of the warm and wonderful people you have met in this series.Like I have said before,it is because you are so warm and personable that attracts them to you and despite some political differences, it seems that most people (especially to he kids) are very drawn to Americans.Just wish you cld have spoken to more women and girls! Speaking of attraction,that woman on the hot air balloon was lovely.You missed the boat on that one, Gareth!
Hello everytime I see your vlog I feel like I'm also travelling with you also. Watching here in the philippines
Thank you so much Cristine! ❤
That is why he is called Alexander the Great, he had respect to the ones before him.. he added his footprint and history amongst the Great people, the Egyptians, I mean he did not go there in Egypt and destroyed things he’d seen and try to replace to his own , unlike other despot leaders like polpot or the Isis to what they have done in Syria , destroying the oldest civilisation.. pardon my Rant, Thank you Leonard .. Wooow ! the valley of the Kings , you need a year in Egypt to be able to take it all..
Tell them to give it back!
صديقي حاولو بالفعل تدميرها لكن عجزو عن ذلك ❤️
Wow that balloon ride looked amazing!!! But I have to say I think i loved the last man from the seed shop the most. So loving, humble and giving! ♥️ Loving your vids G! Can't wait to visit Egypt! 🤞🏼
Its common in Egypt to be giving specially for our guests,,,,and you are welcome anytime to come and see that yourself. God bless you.
@@naderelshafei i love it! Thank you! I look forward to it
@@isanchez8084 I see that your name is Old Egyptian name too))))))
@@naderelshafei yes! My Mexican father came across the name in a book he was reading at the time my mother was pregnant.
@@isanchez8084 wow! Interesting!! Hola hola 😀,,,I love the Mexican food😋
My boy had a sweet talk with the lady. 😂
Haha, I can't think of a more romantic place to kick some game! 😂
You are such a good guy, Gareth. I see how you treat everyone you come across in your travels, and it's heart-warming. You always try to make others comfortable, more at ease, and you have a great sense of humour-one of the biggest indicators being that you heartily laugh at yourself. I've been only to Cairo many, many times (I used to be a flight attendant for Saudia) but I never got the opportunity to venture too far, though I have been lucky to visit the Pyramids a few times. You have renewed my interest-the women travelling in Egypt video was what convinced me and I've sent that video to a few female friends to convince them to join me, so thanks for that!
Your hot air balloon version is different. Different in a splendid yet realistic way... the best way. This episode sets my mood high.😀😍 Thanks, G.
the scene on the hot air balloon where he says nothing is beautiful, thats the majesty of life
I love to hear that Aizek, thanks for watching!! 🙏
The places are beautiful.. The hot air balloon ride is amazing.🤩 Very nice video 👍👍👍
It is truly such an incredible corner of the world that has so much history and culture! ❤Thank you so much for following along!
I'm originally from Luxor, rn i'm studing at sjsu, CA. Will go back in 30 days ^^. I'm glad that you liked it you made my dayyy.
I was about to scream noooooo when you headed to the "Fisikh" shop it is one pretty tough old egyptian dish, I sometimes can't handle it 😂, But luckly he was honest and told you. He just meant you have to be used to eating it first.
Gareth, you are a great storyteller with super positive energy, not like Sony who came with arrogance, ignoring the country law and permits, then declare a war against Egypt and Egyptians.
I hope you be on the top of all UA-cam vloggers, you deserve that. 👏❤️
That hot air balloon ride is 👌🏼.
I hope you have the chance to do it one day with someone who truly loves you...
ننتظرك مره اخري في الاقصر شكرا لك علي زياره الاقصر
Egypt beautiful country🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
It truly is! 🙌
So exciting! Will be in Egypt next week 🤩
Are you welcome any time
I'm smiley tour guide in luxor
Beautiful. Since you are in Egypt during Ramadan, you should eat with a family over Iftar or suhoor or go to an Iftar tent to eat with people there. Ramadan is an important month in Egypt and the other islamic countries. It would be great to get yo know the culture and the traditions of people in Ramadan.
The hot balloon ride is amazing and the view from top, keep it up man & looking to see your next episodes in Egypt, watching you from the Philippines .... Peace
Thank you so much Abdel! 🙏
The hot air balloon experience looks beautiful and exciting! I love how nice everyone you encountered in Luxor, specially the store owner who let you try his products for free.
It was such an incredible time between the early morning views in the Balloon to the late night visits with locals. 🙏Thanks for watching!!
Those dates....are GOLD!
Crazy, right!? 😃
Awww! At 24:55 - the little boy! Just so cute the way he gives you the thumb up. Bless him.
Lol holding hand in Egypt is normal🤣 men can walk holding hands and women can walk holding hands too. Homosexuality is forbidden in islam and not allowed in the middle east in general among Muslims and Christians alike. So if you see men shaking hands and kissing on the cheek that doesn't mean they are gay we are a very friendly affection society everyone knows everyone and showing emotions is normal.
Thoughtful of u to explain,,, didn't cross my mind to ,, well done 👏
Thanks for showing everyone how amazing Luxor is, Gareth!
Next time you’re in Luxor, I’d recommend staying at the Djorff Palace Hotel (brand new boutique 5 star hotel) and trying a meal at the Amon Hotel in their beautiful garden. Amon is a lovely family owned and operated hotel on the West Bank and they are always happy to cook up a delicious lunch or dinner for individuals or groups if you call or WhatsApp ahead of time. Happy travels!
Thank you for the kind words and tips! 👊
I enjoyed watching this video of Egypt 🇪🇬 thanks so much 🙏 Gareth very professional
Thank you very much for watching Sabrin! ❤

WOW! The hot air balloon is so fascinating! So cool looking down the city.
It was truly incredible to have that perspective over the Nile River and Valley of the Kings!! Thanks for watching!!
That balloon ride is peacefulAF!✨👌😑
It was so incredible, I couldn't believe how smooth and peaceful it was!!
The best part is that you enjoyed the visit..you are a humble man..and of course Egyptians will respect that...
Great sceneries..have a safe trip back home. All the best...
I really really enjoyed this episode 😍😍 I'm so happy to be Egyptian in times like this, so proud of my history ❤️❤️❤️

Best thing I see about Egypt... Hope to see you again in Egypt to show you more about it❤️
