Disabled Luxor????

Over the past weeks, Luxor started paving all the roads and routes to welcome and receive tourists, equipping the temples with all services and supporting visitors with special needs.

I am crossing my fingers and toes but this sentence seems to indicate my campaign is having an effect. I had not heard a thing but I am hoping all the information I having been pouring into peoples ears, like the governor, might have been listened too. Can you let me know if you see results and send a picture?

Nile Magazine publishes Accessible Egypt

New Ticket Prices 1st November 2017

Ticket prices for Egyptians went up 1st October but ticket prices for foreigners go up 1st November thanks to Hussein Omar and Mohamed A Fahmy for confirming that.

I just phoned Ahmed Khalifa at the Luxor Pass office and he said there is no change to the Luxor Pass

Just received this flyer in Arabic via EEF http://www.egyptologyforum.org/MOA/Ticket_Price_Nov._2017.pdf
