Luxor Overnight City Break

Información

Luxor has so many awe-inspiring sights that it more than warrants this two-day trip. It’s a fantastic opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the city’s 4,000-year old history. Travelling by road, your adventure starts at Karnak Temple. All soaring pillars, this Nile-side wonder was ancient Egypt’s most important religious site. After lunch, take a look around Luxor Museum - it’s packed with eerie mummies and glittering antiquities. Then, after checking into your 4-star hotel, take the chance to watch the evening Sound & Light Show at Karnak. Combining dazzling illuminations, commentary and music, it brings this stunning temple back to awesome life. After breakfast the next morning, you’ll cross the Nile to see the Valley of the Kings. This desert valley is honeycombed with 62 warren-like tombs, which served as the final resting place of the Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. You’ll also clap eyes on the Colossi of Memnon, the giant statues guarding the valley and the nearby Temple of Queen Hatshepsut -a vision in colonnaded stone. Then enjoy a motorboat ride along the Nile before tucking into a delicious lunch in readiness for your journey back.
