What Luxor has to offer?
Temples and Heritage of Thebes
In Luxor, the ruins of the ancient Egyptian capital remain exposed to the open air. Karnak and the Temple of Luxor embody all of its grandeur: avenues lined with sphinxes, monumental columns, and intricate details carved into the stone. It is a fascinating complex, a testament to a golden age when the city’s influence spread throughout the entire country.
The necropolis on the west coast
As you look out toward the city, the landscape changes and takes on a rocky, mineral character. It is here that the vast necropolis stretches out, home to the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Carved into the rock, the tombs reveal well-preserved decorations, where colors and symbols accompany the kings on their journey to the afterlife.
Exceptional experiences and panoramic views
There’s another way to discover Luxor: on a hot-air balloon ride at sunrise, when the temples and the valley are bathed in light. On the west side, iconic sites such as the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon round out the tour and offer spectacular views.
Highlights of Upper Egypt
On the other side of the Nile, the scenery becomes minimalist. At the foot of the mountain, the Theban necropolis is home to the tombs of 22 pharaohs—the Valley of the Kings—and their relatives—the Valley of the Queens. You must then descend underground to admire the painted decorations and sarcophagi.
