Marvel at Some of Egypt’s Most Stunning Archaeological Wonders on a Holiday in Luxor

Luxor is one of Egypt’s most heavily visited holiday destinations for its incredible wealth of temples, tombs, and ancient monuments. Rent a villa in the modern city of Luxor and explore the spectacular ancient ruins within and surrounding the city. The Temple of Karnak is a breathtaking complex of sandstone temples, pylons, obelisks, statues and friezes. Visit the great Hypostyle Hall in the Precinct of Amun-Re and gape at the massive stone columns that line the entrance way and the fabulous reliefs and hieroglyphs that line the walls. Take a bicycle out to the Valley of the Kings and see the final resting place of many of Egypt’s most revered pharaohs. Or wander the cool hallways of the Luxor Museum to see the exquisite collection of grave goods from the Tomb of Tutankhamen. A great way to see the sights along the Nile from a different perspective is a felucca cruise. These wooden boats slowly ply the lazy waters of the Nile and are a relaxing way to take in the views. The best way to truly get the most out of this amazing city is to rent a holiday apartment in town, and branch out from there.
