Luxor Holidays a Perfect Blend of Culture and History

Well preserved ancient kingdom legacies in the form of great temples and massive pyramid complexes define Luxor. This is why the city is widely known as the world’s largest open-air museum. The name Luxor, in fact, literally translates to palaces and being the religious dynastic capital of both Middle and New Kingdoms of Egypt, the city is considered the premier travel destination in the Nile Valley. This historically and culturally rich city offers much for visitors to enjoy and discover, ranging from vast temples to living museums, and ancient royal tombs, set against spectacular river and desert scenery with touches of a thriving modern life.

Established upon and around great treasures of Egypt’s Old Kingdom, Luxor can be found in the same site as the ancient capital of Thebes. Among its most prominent features are the epic Karnak Temple Complex and the gorgeous Luxor Temple, which are also among the most impressive sites in all of Egypt. Their beauty only shines brighter as modern architecture provides a stark contrast to their ancient stone structures. Around Luxor are countless other tombs and temples situated within the most relevant archeological sites. Exploring the wealth of spectacle, the city and its surrounding regions offer will require intelligent tour planning so you won’t miss the most significant attractions around the civilization. Expert knowledge of the various destinations around and beyond Luxor means an unforgettable cultural experience in Egypt.

Dividing your Egyptian tour into two parts—the East Bank and the West Bank is a good way to start planning. East of Nile is where Luxor and ancient Thebes are located. These destinations, along with the spectacular temple complexes that surround them are the perfect places to experience ancient culture in Egypt. The Museum of Ancient Egyptian Art is an absolute must see when holidaying in Luxor. A popular family destination and still a great place to visit even when you are traveling alone, this ancient art museum offers a lot to see and discover, including incredible creations that are nothing short of spectacular.

Seasoned visitors and travelers to Egypt insist that the best way to experience Luxor’s splendor is on a hot air balloon ride over Nile. A couple hundred feet above the city offers a unique perspective on the world’s largest and most beautiful open-air museum, set against a stunning natural landscape and the perfect colors of the approaching dawn as light rises from the east.
