Day trips from Cairo to Luxor
good luck bro.
its a 12-13 hr train ride and 18 hr bus ride.
I did 2 weeks in Luxor. it was ill.
Cairo itself is mad live. Alexandria is where im from. Coastal city, make sure while in Alexandria to take a trip to Marina or Sahel (translation coast). Which is about 2 hrs west of Alexandria on Medittaranean sea. Its a party town and there are always DJs and artists performing out there.
The beaches along the Sahel west of Alex, are phenomenal. If you are looking for the best beaches tho i suggest hitting up Sinai, and going to Dahab or sharm el sheik.
Have fun my g if you need info let me know.
