Luxor Things To Do
Ancient Attractions
Step back in time and experience the world-famous attractions of the open-air museum that is Luxor, from the amazing Valley of the Kings on the West Bank, home to King Tutankhamun's tomb, to the vast Karnak Temple on the East. Cultural holidays to Luxor allow for touring the many fascinating sites throughout this rich historic region, and give an insight into ancient Egyptian civilization.
Nile Tours
Cruising the Nile is another essential experience on relaxing holidays to Egypt, with numerous boat trips available on the country's iconic river. From sightseeing tours to sunset dinner cruises, trips on the Nile offer a magical way to soak up the sights and sounds of the city, and range from traditional 'feluccas', Egyptian wooden narrow boats, to luxury floating hotels.
Market Trips
Spend an exciting afternoon in the colourful souk in Luxor - the heart of the town - where you can immerse yourself in the bustling little streets and alleyways, browsing stalls selling spices, foodstuff, ceramics, rugs, jewellery and all manner of gifts and souvenirs - a true treat for the senses.
Donkey & Camel Rides
Donkey and rides are both a traditional and fun way to get around on Luxor family holidays, and are offered around the ancient sights and through the local countryside and villages - fun for the whole family, and a wonderful slice of Egyptian culture.
Hot Air Ballooning
A unique way to see Luxor, hot air balloon rides generally begin at dawn and offer a spectacular way to view the city, whilst on cheap holidays to Egypt. From above, the sights take on a new light, and the scale and beauty of this majestic region can be fully appreciated.
Day Trips
For a change of scene, venture outside the area and explore some of Egypt's other main attractions - head to Cairo to view the Pyramids, try snorkelling in Sharm El Sheikh in the Red Sea or dance the night away at one of the famous beach parties in Hurghada.
