Holidays in Luxor

Holidays in Luxor aren't just about gazing at Pharoahs' tombs and temples to falcon-headed gods. Beyond the amazing ancient sights, this captivating city has much more up its sleeve.

Of course, sightseeing is central to most people's visits here. After all, Luxor is perfectly placed for visiting many of Egypt's show-stopping antiquities. Sitting on the east banks of the Nile, it's right opposite the incredible Valley of the Kings on the west bank and handy for the Temple of Karnak with its forest of pillars built by Ramses II. And clustered around are other mind-boggling treasures of a scale and grandeur that'll leave you breathless.

Once you've done the temples and tombs, Luxor holidays have lots more going for them. With first-class hotels such as the sumptuous Sheraton Luxor Resort and beautiful Steigenberger Nile Palace, relaxing in style comes easy here. Palm-fringed pools, views over the felucca-sprinkled Nile and sophisticated lounge bars provide perfect refuges from a hard day's sightseeing. And whatever you do, make sure you see Luxor's magnificent Temple, haggle for bargains in its lively bazaars and explore its amazing museums.

And whether it's late bargain deals, last-minute summer holidays or fully-fledged all-inclusive holidays to Luxor, we've got a fabulous variety of breaks to choose from.
