Luxor Travel Guide

After the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor is Egypt’s greatest and most popular attraction. Described as the world’s largest open-air museum, Luxor and its surroundings are home to the largest concentration of ancient archaeological sites in the country.

From the moment that you arrive in Luxor you are aware of its overwhelming presence, beauty and history. The location alone leaves you breathless and save for the odd modern day intrusion and the effects of time on the surroundings, nothing much has changed in over 4,000 years. You can’t help but gaze in awe across the Nile at the orange-red escarpment facing you and wonder at the grandeur that once lay before it. We can be grateful, however, for the treasures that remain for us to witness today and for the remarkable state in which they have been preserved.
