Meet yourself a Mummy on your trip to Luxor in Egypt, I did!

I embarked on my first ever holiday to Egypt this year. It was one hell of a day. It had been a very long time since i last had a vacation, but now things were getting cheaper i decided to splash out.

I originally wanted to go to Cairo; however I recently read another blog post on a holiday to Luxor. I had read a lot about this location and people always talked about it, so i needed to go there. The city of Luxor used to be known as the city of Thebes. This is the place where there are some amazing ruins and so when you arrive you have everything you want to see at your fingertips. So I arrived there and I was staying in my hotel the Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, a fantastic 5 star hotel with a stunning architecture and great room service, which kept me very happy. Egypt holidays were looking good already.

However I wasn’t there for the room service, I wanted to do touristy things, so I headed out on a tour to the Valley of the Kings. This is a massive burial ground for the powerful kings and nobles whom had died in the BC centuries. It started to get dark and i was looking at one of the tombs, as i looked around my group had left, i thought i saw them so i caught up. Then i realised i didn’t know anyone in this group. This wasn’t good. So I was on my way to tell the guide I was lost when all of a sudden this thing in white rags touched me on the shoulder, I recoiled in fear and I may have screamed a little bit like what I could only describe as a little girl.

It turned out I had stumbled into a private scare tour. They were in the area because they were going to two weddings abroad. I decided I would enjoy this luxury holidays thing back at the hotel, the room service sounded like a good idea at that point.
