Luxor is often called the worlds greatest open air museum. And it is true - valuable for human history and culture ! Visit also Karnak, close (3 km) to Luxor !
General tips :
-The luxor temple itself
-The Karnak Temple
-The valley of the dead
-A trip to the temple of Dendera
-Abydos in the north and Esna or Edfu in the south
Cruising on the Nile without barking in Luxor is not visiting Egypt.
Luxor, next to Aswan and the temple of Abu Simbel is the highlight of Egypt.
The Temples - the tombs ! Unforgetable !
The Pylons - witness of time and glory in Egypt ! They are carved with episodes from the Battle of Kadesh when Ramses defeated the armee of Hittites
- Pros:Starting point to visit Egypt.

Great page about one of the most interesting places in Egypt. I quite agree with you - the tomb of Tutankhamen is a kind of tourist traps. But I consider the collection of artefacts from this tomb in Cairo Museum as the trap as well... Thanks, Luc!
Interesting tips about a great destination, and very good photos to accompany them. The hotel does indeed sound excellent.
Looking at your pics make me want to go there - soon. There is sooooooo much to see! Great page with great tips!
Like your insights and comparisons. Stunning photographs of a historic place. Hotel sounds just wonderful.
Wonderful page, Luc! Your pictures make me wanna go back to Luxor asap!
Great page! Thanks for sharing! I loved our trip to Luxor...it's such an amazing place!!! :)
Luc, a beautiful page on Luxor!! Great photos of these various amazing monuments to antiquity! Yes, your hotel does look quite relaxing!
I wonder if Luxor is not the location I prefer among all those wonderful places of ancient Egypt. Thanks for sharing !
Great updates, Luc ! Luxor is fascinating. I'm sure I will return there for a third time !
Great photos!
