Engage in the Facinating History of Egypt

For anyone with even a remote interest in ancient Egypt, Luxor holidays are an absolutely fascinating experience. Once the seat of power in the area as part of the ancient city of Thebes, Luxor has an overabundance of superb historical sites, including the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, the burial sites of many of ancient Egypt's rulers.

Other Luxor holiday attractions include the temple of Karnak, an awe-inspiring structure built over a period of one thousand years, and on the west bank of the Nile. Luxor also has an extraordinary number of other tombs, temples and monuments.

Take A Step Back in Time in Luxor

Luxor has often been described as the world's largest open-air museum thanks to the sheer quantity of ancient heritage in the area but there is more to Luxor holidays than crumbling stone structures. Nile riverboats known as 'fellucas' carry passenger up and down this enormous river, the lifeblood of Egypt for thousands of years.

The felluca rides provide an excellent diversion from exploring the ancient buildings and invite you to see the area from a completely different perspective. Luxor holidays will leave you with incredible memories of an extraordinary place.

Attractions Of Luxor Holidays

As with much of Egypt the ancient history of this remarkable region is one of the biggest attractions of Luxor holidays, although it helps that you are practically guaranteed to have great weather as you find your way around these amazing relics. In the town there are several good souvenir shops to browse around, where you can pick up some local handicraft or alabaster vases, a locally mined mineral.

Evenings on Luxor holidays offer the chance to frequent one of the lively discos in the town or see some traditional belly dancing. Although Egypt is a Muslim country most bars and restaurants serve alcohol and local and international cuisine is readily available.
