Discover the best of ancient Egypt
Known as the “world’s greatest open-air museum”, Luxor is a treasure trove of ancient wonders. The city is sprawled along one side of the Nile, offering sights such the world-famous Temple of Karnak, Temple of Luxor, and Sphinx Avenue, as well as the Mummification Museum. Not to be outdone, cross over to the other side and you'll find the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were laid in elaborate tombs, including the legendary Tutankhamun, whose mask has captivated the world since its discovery. And you can even walk in the footsteps of the man who excavated it from its resting place in the tomb, as Howard Carter's house is now home to a museum.
Meandering its way through the vast deserts of northern Africa, the Nile River brought life to the settlements that sprung up along its banks, allowing them to thrive. And it's still a key piece of the puzzle today. Some say this part of the world is best experienced by boat, and we'd be inclined to agree. What better way to pay homage than to sail in the slipstream of ancient Egyptian sailors? Same mighty river, same impressive landscape, but a whole new world. These days swish cruises navigate this channel, offering luxurious lodgings, world-class service, and a trip that's unlike any other.
Head ashore and there's plenty to captivate you, too. Escape the sun with a walk through the lush green gardens of the Luxor Museum, then see its interesting galleries with a night visit before sitting down for some hearty Bedouin cuisine and a drink on the edge of the Nile. You know when life feels just like a movie? Luxor will have you in a spell.
