Itinerary

  1. Our representative will pick up you to enjoy cruising along the Nile River on a felucca (traditional sailing boat) during a private 2-hour trip from your Luxor hotel. After you are picked up from your hotel, you will be transported to the water in an air-conditioned vehicle. Board the boat and relax on the soft cushions. Then enjoy a cool drink as you gently glide down the river. Look around you for scenes that have not changed in millennia. See the children playing in the water, observe the camels and watch the farmers going about their work in the same ways they have done for centuries, and admire the water buffalo and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Then watch as the sun sets slowly over the West Bank and the Valley of the Kings.

About Luxor

Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.

On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
