Luxor short breaks are an excellent opportunity to step into the very heart of ancient Egyptian civilization. Famous for its breathtaking monuments and lavish history, Luxor is a significant destination for city breaks, targeting both history enthusiasts and casual travelers alike.
No city break is complete in Luxor without exploring both its west and east banks. On the west bank is the fabled Valley of the Kings, wherein lie the tombs of pharaohs like Tutankhamun, hidden deep in the mountains. Additionally, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site that should be featured on every tour of Luxor. It allows visitors to marvel at intricate hieroglyphs and beautifully decorated burial chambers.
Within a radius not so far from Luxor city stands the temple of Hatshepsut. Certainly, it is a reflection of the glory of one of the most powerful women who ruled Egypt.

At night, this temple gives magical experiences since it is illuminated, taking every visitor through the feel of its ancient halls.

We arrived at the port gates with only 10 minutes to spare. But the guards ignored our U.S. passports, and they refused to
Thank you Hamada for an incredible day! Thank you for the stories and the history, you are so knowledgeable and we didn’t feel rushed at all or like we missed out on things, will definitely be recommending this tour to everyone 🙂

My husband and I visited Egypt in March 2013. First, let me say, ‘Go, go, go!’ – it’s safer and definitely friendlier than many places we’ve visited. Tourism is drastically down – thanks mostly to media misinformation – so it’s a great time to visit to avoid line-ups and crowds
The breathtaking views and the isolation with a night under the stars! The trip was memorable with Mohamed, our tour guide, who drove us to all the sites on the way to the White Desert, and is clearly someone who knows the desert inside out. He also cooked a delicious
