Your Destinations —
Luxor & The Nile River
Discover Egypt's historic capital!
Frequently referred to as 'the world's greatest open-air museum', Luxor offers its visitors the opportunity to travel back in time to the life of ancient Egyptians in what was then the great city of Thebes. Each year, thousands of tourists travel to this destination, which is located just opposite the world-famous River Nile, to unearth the treasures of the Karnak and Luxor complexes, in addition to the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens.
In addition to the endless attractions keen historians will discover here, Luxor also offers plenty of perks for those in search of the sunshine. As one of the sunniest and driest cities in the world, Luxor is an excellent option for tourists who want to combine the best aspects of a cultural break with relaxed days around a pool or an iconic cruise down the long and winding Nile.
Located on both banks of the Nile, Luxor is home to a splendid heritage inherited from centuries of history. On the eastern bank, you will marvel at the grandeur of the Karnak temple and its hypostyle hall. This construction is one of the most incredible in Upper Egypt. Only a few steps separate this Egyptian marvel from the Luxor Mummification Museum, which will not fail to impress you. Sail to the West Bank and head to the necropolises of Thebes. In the Valley of the Kings, you will be speechless at the beauty of the coloured walls, covered with sacred texts that ensured the kings a serene passage to eternity. Not far from there is the temple of Medinet Habu which will reveal all its splendour when, at the end of the afternoon, the shadows lengthen.
Hurghada
Explore the ancient world of Kings and temples, goddesses and hieroglyphs, while cruising along the lifeline of Egypt, The Nile. As you peacefully sail down the longest river in the world, watch the banks pass you by, covered in tropical wildlife and luscious greenery.
With its year-round sunshine and stunning scenery, above and below the water, the Red Sea Riviera has long been a holiday favourite for sunbathing and a world-class diving destination.
The former fishing town of Hurghada has transformed itself into a spectacular retreat complete with 20 kilometres of golden sand and luxurious beachside hotels. Head downtown to Old Hurghada and capture traditional Egyptian life around the mosques and lively bazaars.
