Also, what is best way of hiring private transportation and guide for a 5- 7 day period in Luxor. I am a 73 y.o. female who will be traveling alone. Any safety concerns?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163796686540489676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-2401366030027966842017-02-05T16:43:32.208+02:002017-02-05T16:43:32.208+02:00The guardians are obviously getting used to them :...The guardians are obviously getting used to them :) Really glad the daily visits worked out for you and many thanks for the additional information.

We w...Hi Jane,<br /><br />A few updates on the Luxor Pass...<br /><br />We went along to purchase them at 1545 on a Friday. After about ten minutes at the gate, I was passed a phone and told by the person at the other end that they closed at 1500 on Fridays. So our planned early morning trip to Karnak the following day was ruled out!<br /><br />Picking up the pass the next day took only ten minutes or so. Without asking, we were told that we could only visit each site once per day. I confirmed that this applied to both Seti I and Nefertari. We took full advantage of this and went to both tombs four days in a row - a total of 80 minutes in Nefertari and five hours(!) in Seti I. The pass details are recorded in a ledger at both sites.<br /><br />We had red pass ticket numbers 86 and 87, indicating that they appear to have sold an average of roughly one per day since 1st November.<br /><br />We didn't encounter problems using the pass at any of the sites we visited so the guardians now seem to be familiar with them. The only minor problem we had was with people having trouble reading the validity dates. Writing them in Arabic would have helped with this.Farley Flavorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994823738517253154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-40585116576175458472016-11-28T00:16:40.144+02:002016-11-28T00:16:40.144+02:00That's what I was hoping!That's what I was hoping!

So a passport photocopy will suffice if you don't have a passport photo? <br /><br />Also, are you restricted to a single visit to Seti and Nefertari over the five days?
