The world's greatest open-air museum with stunning temples.
Located on the banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt, Luxor is the site of ancient Thebes, the capital of Egypt at the height of its glory during the New Kingdom. Historians say that one-third of the world's antiquities are found in Luxor.
The West Bank of the Nile holds the Valley of the Kings, where 63 pharaohs were buried in rock-cut tombs. On the East Bank stands the majestic Karnak Temple, the largest religious temple complex in the world.
A hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise is one of the most magical experiences in Egypt. Its panoramic views reveal the beauty of the Nile, desert, and ancient temples.
From the Valley of the Kings to Karnak Temple, Luxor offers an unparalleled journey into the world of the pharaohs.
