Travel to Maritim Jolieville in Luxor
Getting to the Jolieville is pretty easy and straightforward, with Luxor airport located just outside of the north of the city, and Jolieville about 10-20km south of Luxor. Travel time is about 30 minutes, and when taken in daylight means your coach is likely to give you views of the Temple of Karnak, Luxor Template, the River Nile, and of course, the Valley of the Kings.
However, a few points of note:
1. Travel Visa: It costs around £10 per person to enter the country - if you enter Egypt at Cairo you’ll have already paid this. If flying direct to Luxor from the UK, make sure you have money ready to pay for your visa for entry. Rates are charged in US dollars, and use small denomination pound notes and coins to over this. Egyptians are not famous for giving back proper change from a £20! More Egypt travel advice from the foreign office.
2. Vaccinations: At present, there are no mandatory requirements for inoculation in Egypt for Luxor. However, a number of vaccinations for Egypt are recommended.
3. Insurance: As with all holidays overseas, do ensure you have full and proper travel insurance.
