Clear. Refreshingly cool.

People have been visiting the magnificent monuments of Luxor for thousands of years. Built on the site of the ancient city of Thebes, Luxor is an eccentric combination of provincial town and staggering ancient splendor. The concentration of monuments is extraordinary, towering incongruously above the buzz of everyday life.
The sheer size and number of its wonderfully preserved monuments have made Luxor Egypt's greatest attraction after the pyramids. Small wonder that the area is often described as the world's largest open-air museum. Feluccas, old barges and luxury hotel ships cruise to and from Cairo and Aswan.

Best of Luxor: Suggested Itineraries
The Valley of the Kings, ancient Thebes, the Temple of Hatshepsut ... the magic of Luxor has thrilled visitors for millennia, ringing down through the centuries. From Nile River cruises to elite private tours, our suggested itineraries will help you experience Egypt's magic for yourself.
Start the day with a sunrise hot-air balloon flight over Luxur's West Bank and the River Nile in the cool of the morning. Then tour what you've seen from the air close-up on a Luxor West Bank private tour of the Necropolis of ancient Thebes, the Valley of the Kings tombs, and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Or take a Luxor East Bank private tour, revealing the complex of Karnak and Luxor Temple. When night falls, the seductive magic of the Karnak Sound & Light Show will take you back to the days of the Pharaohs.
Take the ultimate excursion from Luxor: a five-day or eight-day Nile River cruise. The cruise includes private tours of the Valley of the Kings and Karnak, Luxor and Edfu temples, in the illuminating company of your own private Egyptologist guide. Still in thrall to the legends of ancient Egypt? Take a private tour to Dendar & Abydos, visiting the Temple of Hathor and the mystical home of the cult of Osiris, a place of pilgrimage for ancient Egyptians. Feel like soaking up the sun by the beach? Pick up a private transfer to the Red Sea resort of Hurghada for a day of diving, shopping or dining.
