Luxor Holidays

Sphinx at Luxor

Luxor is set against spectacular desert landscapes and is considered to be the greatest outdoor museum in the world with its magnificent temples, tombs and monuments which reflect the greatness and splendour of Ancient Egypt. There is an abundance of sights to see on Luxor holidays and with its riverside location, it's also an excellent base from which to start a luxury Nile Cruise.

Five hundred miles south of Cairo on the Nile's east bank is the capital of Upper Egypt, Luxor. Holidays to Luxor are a fascinating experience with many of the ancient structures still standing giving it an alluring atmosphere. This mesmerizing city is easily explored on foot, by horse drawn caleche, by delightful felucca boats, or by hot air balloon. Luxor holidays offer a wonderful combination of relaxation and captivating sightseeing assuring that not a day goes by without enjoyment.

In addition to the fantastic monuments, tombs and temples, visitors will delight in the Corniche, a pleasantly shaded, tree-lined avenue between the Temple of Luxor and the Nile, leading to the Luxor Museum and beyond to Karnak: itself famed for its ancient temple. Luxor's vibrancy is encapsulated in a wealth of excellent hotels, bars, restaurants, shops, and bustling bazaars which simply add to the magnetism of this unique city. Luxor holidays are by far an outstanding venture for those with an interest in the past whilst residing in the lavishness of a city home to the pharaohs.

Ancient Egyptians originally celebrated the New Year with the Feast of Opet. This took place in the middle of summer when the Nile River usually overflowed its banks. Consequently, people were unable to work and would be free to take part in the festivities. Statues of the God, Amon, together with effigies of his wife and son, would be taken by boat down the Nile from Karnak to Luxor, where the people would sing, dance and feast for a 24 days before transporting the statues back to the temple.
