"Luxor - so many temples, so little time!" Luxor by sue_stone
Luxor Travel Guide: 1,809 reviews and 4,154 photos
We docked at Luxor on our Nile cruise, and had one very busy day to see all the highlights.
Luxor is a city with amazing contrasts in landscape. The highlight of our visit here was a hot-air balloon ride. From the balloon we could see the desert, the lush farming land, the Nile, the ruins of temples - spectacular.
We had time to see only a snippet of what this amazing place has to offer - please make sure you allocate more than a day if you make it here!

Thanks Sue for bringing back memories about this outstanding tousist place! Really so many sights ans so little time! I envy you could see them from the balloon. Wonderful pics and travelogues. Thanks for the excellent virtual tour!
After looking at your Marrrakesh pages just had to see what else you had where we are going. Great!! Thanks again for your insightful advice and photos.
Wonderful page on Luxor Sue. It is on the top of my wish list. The Nile cruise sounds interesting and looks like a great way to see the area.
A balloon flight? Wow, that's trully a "high" light :) Impressive! This is really a wish list destination for me. Great!
Hot air ballon - wow brilliant! I had to ride a doney to the valley of kings!
It is impossible to grasp how old the Egyptian temples and monuments really are! Great Luxor page!
Wonderful page! The balloon ride sounds great. I'll added on my list for the next trip to Luxor.
Amazing photos... what sort of camera did you use for your whirling dervish picture? I tried and tried but could not capture it!!
Great page. Wow, you did a lot in one day! I stayed there for a few days and don't think i saw as much as you did.
