Egypt and the Nile
The Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Museums, the Nile, Aswan... the difficulty with travelling around Egypt is what you'll have to miss!
Journey Down the Nile
The Nile river is like a highway between the treasures of the ancient Egyptian world. It's a simple trip that deserves to be on the 'do before you die' list - a Nile cruise is the way the Pharaohs travelled.

Comments, reviews and questions by other travellers
I agree - full of history. We are definitely going to go back at some stage. Brilliant :-)
So much history in a small space...
An amazing place, with so much to see. You could quite happily spend several weeks here and still not see everything.
Has anybody on here been there in January?
If so how is the weather/temperature? are all of the facilities open and operational?

In Luxor it's the summer months which are the quietest - then temps regularly to 40ºC. But in January the average temp. is a civilised 21°C.
I visited Luxor in January. It's a good destination for a warm winter long weekend if you live in Europe.
