  Welcome to the Nile
 

   

The Nile Valley is home to some of the world's most famous and spectacular archeological sites, reminders of Egypt's fascinating past. Travellers have been visiting the region for centuries, and today Cairo, Luxor and Aswan offer quality hotels and a chance to experience modern Egypt as well as a wealth of historical sights.

Longwood Holidays offers a variety of versatile holiday options to the Nile Valley, including Nile Cruises, multi-centre holidays, city breaks and bespoke itineraries to help create the holiday of your dreams.

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. The same flexibility means that, unfortunately, most of these holidays can't be booked online (with the exception of Nile Cruises); but our team of dedicated specialists are available on 020 8418 2525.

Luxor
On 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.
