About Luxor

Why go to Luxor

Ancient Thebes, today's Luxor, holds more of Egypt's monuments than anywhere else. On the east bank stand Karnak, the largest religious building ever raised, and Luxor Temple, lit up at night. On the west bank lie the tombs: the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's terraced temple, and the Colossi of Memnon.

Float over all of it in a hot-air balloon at dawn, then walk the tombs with an Egyptologist. We shape the days around your interest and pace.

Luxor questions

How many days do I need in Luxor?
Two full days covers both banks without rushing. Add a third for the balloon and a slower pace.
Is the hot-air balloon worth it?
Most guests call it the highlight of the whole trip. It's optional, weather-dependent and refundable if it can't fly.
East bank or west bank first?
We usually do the west bank (tombs) early to beat the heat, and the east bank temples later or in the evening.
