Sunny. Extremely hot.

Built on the site of the ancient city of Thebes, Luxor is one of Egypt's prime tourist destinations. People have been visiting the magnificent monuments of Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Ramses III for thousands of years. Feluccas, old barges and luxury hotel ships cruise to and from Cairo and Aswan.
The sheer size and number of its wonderfully preserved monuments have made Luxor Egypt's greatest attraction after the Pyramid's. Small wonder that the area is often described as the world's largest open-air museum.

Suggested Itineraries in Luxor
In spite of its illustrious past and its booming tourism-driven economy, Luxor's East Bank retains its provincial market-town flavour. Easily walkable when the heat is not intense, the town is where the hotels, bars and restaurants are concentrated. But the wide boulevards quickly give way to narrow backstreets and a rural feel.
Against such a backdrop the area's heritage is all the more striking. Luxor Temple, around which the town is built, is an elegant architectural masterpiece, its courtyard and sanctuaries dedicated to the Theban gods.
