Luxor Trips – Tailor-Made Egypt Itineraries

Resting on the east bank of the infamous Nile River in southern Egypt, the city of Luxor is renowned for its many well-preserved monuments, so much so that it has been described as the world’s greatest open-air museum.

Luxor is often divided into three different areas: the city of Luxor on the east side of the Nile; the town of Karnak, further north; and Thebes on the west side of the Nile, across from Luxor. Visitors can look forward to a variety of memorable accommodations and an abundance of exciting activities; Luxor knows how to accommodate tourists as it has been doing since ancient times.

Across the Nile on Luxor's west bank lies ancient Thebes and its legendary royal necropolis. The Valley of the Kings — where pharaohs including Tutankhamun were entombed in elaborately painted rock-cut chambers — remains one of the most evocative archaeological sites on Earth.

The nearby Valley of the Queens adds further depth, its tombs no less remarkable in their artistry and historical significance.
