Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Luxor, Nile River Valley
The Luxor in Las Vegas is to the actual CITY of Luxor, Egypt, as marshmallow fluff is to fois gras. (We’re sure you knew that. We just enjoy analogies.) Sure, the hotel/casino in Vegas might have a beam of light visible from space, but we bet you'll find a hot-air balloon ride over the Valley of Kings much more illuminating. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

1. Tomb of Ramses VI
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 504 reviews
The key feature of this tomb, which was originally built for Ramses V and expanded by Ramses VI during the 20th Dynasty, is its vaulted astronomical ceiling with a double image of the Goddess Nut swallowing the sun.

In my opinion, this is one of the top tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The color on the walls is amazing and the star chart aching across the burial chamber is a true wonder! Don't miss this tomb! Your ticket to the Valley of the Kings will allow you entrance into 3 tombs. I recommend Ramses III, Ramses V & VI (one tomb where they buried two pharaohs), and Ramses IV. All of these tombs have incredible color and stunning art work. Recommend that you also pay extra for Sety I, the largest and most beautiful tomb in the Valley. The rules have changed so you can use your cellphone to take photos, so you don't need to buy a photographic pass. If you tour Egypt, you must see the Valley of the Kings, truly a wonder of the ancient world!

We had a great experience both times we visited the shop near Luxor Temple. All the merchandise is handmade and a lot of it by women working through community projects. With a fixed price there is no worry about having to barter. The prices are fair and most goes back into the community. We found many beautiful cotton and linen items as well as beautiful pottery with amazing detail. On one of our visits we met Ahmed Farrag who was in charge of the shop for the day. He was very conscientious and left us to look until we had questions. He also allowed us to step outside to see the colors of pottery and linen in the daylight. He was very knowledgeable about the shop and its merchandise and answered any question we had on the items with ease. Ahmed made our shopping experience relaxed and enjoyable. I agree with the other reviewer that this shop should not be missed, both because of its beautiful and artistic handmade items, and the communities that it supports.

A welcomed reprieve from the bustle and haggling of the bazaar. Habiba Gallery is a proper store selling quality products. Everything is marked, so no need to ask for the price or haggle. I bought a beautiful pair of earnings for US$2!
