Your Destinations —
Luxor
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.
