    Hi I have found a deal with Expedia that seems OK for Luxor in September.

    • The Quote itself: £800 but the transfers are not included
    • Who the quote is from: Expedia (flight+hotel)
    • Is there a booking fee: No
    • Hotel: Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel Luxor
    • Room: 1 Double
    • The Holiday Dates: 2nd September for 1 week but can go anytime from 1st to 5th September
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): I think breakfast is included but any meals and I'd pay a little more for HB or AI
    It looks like a lovely hotel and the flights are nice times (Out at 9:05 and return at 18:00) flying from Manchester. I could do Liverpool but don't think they fly to Luxor from there. Doesn't have to be this hotel but like I said it looks very nice!

    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried emailing dream maldives to see if they can beat the quote

    also look at cosmos as they only offer water villas and jacuzzi WV at meeru and when I have been looking for nov this year they come out cheapest for WV. (also cosmos is with a seaplane transfer)

    also Kuoni may offer a better deal.

    I've not tried cosmos, but Kuoni were a lot more expensive and the lady at Dream Maldives said they weren't very competitive for Meeru deals but they can do good deals for Kuredu (our other option)
