Holidays in Luxor

On the shores of the majestic Nile, Luxor is the perfect place to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt. The awe inspiring Temple of Karnak is one of the largest temple complexes still in existence, while the smaller Luxor Temple is home to many impressive monuments.

On the west bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings is dotted with tombs of Pharaohs, including that of Tutankhamen, while close by is the Valley of the Queens, Temple of Hatshepsut and the massive Colossi of Memnon. The area around Luxor is also awash with historical interest, while the town itself is a quiet resort, with a good range of local shops and dining options, and fine selection of hotels.

Holidays in Luxor are ideal for combining sightseeing of some of Egypt's most iconic sights with relaxation by the magnificent Nile, where many hotels offer resort-style pools and accommodation.
