Luxor is home to the real treasures of Egypt - an ancient town that's had a place in Egypt's long history, Luxor now has more relics from Egypt's grand days than anywhere else in the Country - comparisons to an 'open air museum' are truly justified. Further south, Aswan has a laid-back feel and is perfect for a more relaxed stay. |

A holiday to Luxor really is full of interest, and any visitor must take in some of the amazing, world renowned sites. From the Temples of Karnak and Luxor in the town itself to the treasures of the West Bank, including the Colossi of Memnon, the magnificent Temple of Hapshetsut and the amazing Valley of the Kings, sightseeing is the main activity for holidaymakers in Luxor. A holiday in Aswan is a great base for exploring Upper Egypt's highlights, including the Temple of Abu Simbel and Philae Temple. |
|
Hotels in Luxor are mainly around the town centre and close to the banks of the Nile to the north and south of the centre. Standards of hotels in Luxor tend to be high, with a good selection of international chains including Hilton, Sheraton and Sofitel all located in Luxor. Options for hotels in Aswan are more limited, but standards remain high. |
|
Luxor can be visited for a week or two, staying in one of the town's excellent hotels, or it can be combined with a week on the beach at either Hurghada or El Gouna, 4 hours away on the shores of the Red Sea. Alternatively, start with a few nights in Cairo and then move on to Luxor, or follow a Nile cruise with some time in the Town. |
|
Hotels in Luxor are served by flights to Luxor Airport, which operate direct from the UK throughout the year. Flights depart Gatwick, generally on a Monday. At certain times of the year, additional flights from Gatwick plus Manchester also operate - ask for more details. Aswan is easy to reach from other parts of Egypt. |
