LUXOR TEMPLE & VALLEY OF THE KINGS | Egypt Travel Vlog

We only had one day to explore Luxor, Egypt, so even though we barely slept on the overnight train from Cairo, we went out at 7:00 A.M. to be the first and only tourists at the incredible Luxor Temple! It was totally worth it because it wasn't too hot yet and we took all the videos and photos we wanted with NO other people! Once the first tour bus arrived, we headed back to our hotel and had breakfast (AND COFFEE), but then decided to nap for few hours to wait out the mid day heat before heading to the Valley of the Kings via a $0.10 ferry and $7 taxi. Once again, we felt like there should have been way more tourists than there was, but we weren't complaining!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this KZbin channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

The best advice I ever got in Luxor was from a taxi driver as we passed McDonalds. "Don't get the fishburger", he said. Unfortunately, it was my first time venturing out after having been laid low for 3 days with food poisoning. I'd already had the fishburger ...

[@jasminehelen8951]

I've eaten at that McDonald's and it is disgusting!

I went to Cairo in November and it was perfect weather. Is luxor the same temp in November as well?

[@FireCracker3240]

Egypt is so cool. I've always been fascinated, so I'm glad to get to see it. Thanks for letting me come along with you, as always! And I know that people bothering you to try and sell you things is annoying, but I kinda feel bad for them. As you mentioned, they're only trying to make a living, and with tourism down they're very persistent because they're so desperate. It makes me grateful for what I have, even though it's not much at all. ❤

[@ricajxwholeworld1039]

They live by the tourists in Egypt. it is the country's chief revenue. a few dollars really means a lot to them but nothing to you. when I go to countries like Egypt, I set aside an amount to give to people.

[@StefanT2796]

The fact is that they don't want to work normal jobs because scamming a few people a day is easier. People in Asia are poor too but the hassle in Egypt is 50 times worse. If you travel on your own without a tour, it's really a nightmare and I wouldn't recommend anyone doing it.

[@tatyanamelnikoff9578]

yes, i agree-the poverty is sad. however, anybody nagging me to buy, is an instant lost cause. i'd rather give charity to some kid sitting quietly.

[@3John-Bishop]

Doesnt Islam take care of its people? Like welfare of any kind?

@@3John-Bishop Yeah, but Egypt or any Arabian doesn't rule by Islam nowadays, they're puppets govs to the imperial west.

[@jjbailey3972]

My wife and I were in the exact same sites you were in 2008. There were wall to wall tourists at every location. How lucky you were to visit Egypt and have so much privacy. What a wonderful country. We would return there in a minute. Keep your great videos coming...take care.

[@sherifgabr6480]

till 2010 there were about 12 million people travelling to egypt annually

Your life is my life goals Watching your vlogs has given me the confidence to start travelling with my partner and made me want to go so many places I would have never thought of going before. I wish I had your confidence and talent for vlogging.

[@cindyalmeida1251]

I am so addicted to watching your travels. You two are the cutest couple ever! I love watching because you make me smile. Your positivity, happiness and overall joy make a bad day better. When I'm having a bad day, I know all I have to do is watch you. Thank you for your joyfulness.

You two are amazing. Bring back memories I have of Luxor and Aswan 20 years ago that will live with me for ever. Nicely done ❤️

You're so lucky to have been able to see these marvelous things! How wonderful you shared the views of the ancient Egyptian areas with us.

I’ve been using your videos as part of my homeschool curriculum with my 1st grader! We love watching you guys! This video was perfect because we have been learning about Egypt the last couple weeks!! ❤️

[@ddmmunday]

So cool that you had that whole area by yourselves ! Those moments while traveling are so magical and can’t be explained in words!! Rad video guys !!

[@TIPSANDTRICKS4GAMES]

Watching this, I think you might be one of the only people in the world to have such awesome footage all by yourself. Truly amazing!

[@marilync9271]

Amazing! How nice to have the temple and the Valley of the Kings all to yourself at least for a short time. That little boy was precious. Have yall ever visited a place where you were insulted or yelled at because you are American tourist?

[@KaraandNate]

We have never experienced that! If people have been mad about us being American, they were at least mad quietly haha

[@DairyAirGunners]

Egypt is very America friendly. I have visited 6 times and we're going again for a two month stay in Luxor in October.

[@amelia7781]

Wow great to get the whole temple just for yourself! Totally worth it to wake up early to explore new places! Nice video guys!

[@ebonyloveivory]

It's always so sweet to see how Nate wakes Kara up ~ Also, thank you both for bringing us with you to see the world!!!! You have no idea how much it makes us happy and excited for these :> And as always I am glad to see how they're respectful of the different customs of the place. It's what everyone should remember whilst travelling overseas.

[@mansoureh]

What a cute guide, Mahmood was so so cute and kind

[@maecurtis]

Mamut reminds me of my little brother which warmed my heart. He would 100% run around showing tourists where to go just to have fun and meet new people.

[@SparklesNJazz]

your videos are so addicting i’ve been binging them for hours on end over the past few days. you guys are just so positive and fun to watch and make every place seem so interesting. there are so many new places i want to go now!

It was so cool to revisit Luxor by watching your video. I was there as an independent traveler in 1991 during Ramadan and stayed in the old Winter Palace Hotel. I too had the place pretty much to myself. I fell in love with Egypt after seeing the paintings of David Roberts.

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

cool vlog...we were going to go there but missed out. My wife got sick....we ended up staying more days in sharm doing amazing dives.

So thank you for all you guys do in inspiring people not only to travel but to try new things!

How was the Indian food?! I am so pleased that you enjoy our vlogs and are encouraged to try new experiences because of them! That is so cool! ❤️

[@abigailf.6224]

Kara and Nate it changed our world!! It was so delicious and we can’t wait to explore more of it! 😊

[@edtravelbug]

Kara and Nate, What I found so refreshing was that you did not feel the need to learn every single historical factoid and instead knew the basics. Instead your videos are so well edited and you placed importance on things like getting to Luxor at 7 am to EXPERIENCE the place by yourself. I am planning 7 nights in Egypt for next year and will now look through your other videos to try to get a feel as to what sights will be the coolest to experience given what my likes are. I can already tell the Luxor will be the highlight followed by the Pyramids BUT only because that is a must check the box sight. I don't think I would care for the Nile cruise but plan on watching your video on that next. Thanks to both of you and keep traveling. Eddie aka Edtravelbug

[@SapphirePeeach]

I have been binge watching all of your videos & as someone who will probably never get to travel to all of these beautiful fantastic places, thank you from my whole heart for living life for us all and sharing your journeys ❤ I’m in awe of you both

[@Travellingwiththedays]

My husband worked in tourism based in Luxor, it's been great for us as you walked around and he shared his memories there with me. He was angry at first, but with a little bit of research found out the camera ban has been lifted at the VOK.....so now he just jealous as he never was able to even bring a camera into the valley. He even got to do a dig with the archaeologist during the revolution when it was closed to the public. So for him to say he is jealous, that is something :P He misses the place very much.

[@TNTAdventures]
