  Egypt's Nile Valley
Luxor

 

   

On the shores of the majestic Nile, Luxor is the perfect place to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt. The awe inspiring Temple of Karnak is one of the largest temple complexes still in existence, while the smaller Luxor Temple is home to many impressive monuments.

On the west bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings is dotted with tombs of Pharaohs, including that of Tutankhamen, while close by is the Valley of the Queens, Temple of Hapshetsut and the massive Colossi of Memnon. The area around Luxor is also awash with historical interest, while the town itself is a quiet resort, with a good range of local shops and dining options, and fine selection of hotels.

Our flexible programme means that you can choose from a variety of components, and quickly build an itinerary that is both comprehensive and competitively priced.
