Why this trip

Three thousand years of history lie so close together in Luxor that you can walk through them in a single day: temples, tombs, colonnades. For people who have been interested in ancient Egypt all their lives, this city on the Nile is the goal towards which everything runs. The Karnak Temple is a complex best entered in the morning, when the light falls on the columns. In the Valley of the Kings the tombs of the pharaohs lie under the desert rock, and the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut rises in terraces in front of a rock wall.

The Luxor Temple shows itself in the evening in warm light, and a walk there closes a day. From October to April the temperatures are bearable for sightseeing. The flight time is about four to four and a half hours. Aswan, Cairo and Siwa lie as neighbours in the country, and many combine Luxor with a Nile cruise towards Aswan.

Whether this combination suits your occasion, you weigh up with Once in a Lifetime in the video call before you commit. Enough time should be planned for tombs and temples.
