How to visit Luxor

Luxor is ancient Thebes, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. The East Bank has Karnak and Luxor Temple, which is spectacular lit up at night; the West Bank has the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Medinet Habu and the Colossi of Memnon. Sunrise hot-air balloons lift off from the West Bank and fly about 45 minutes over temples and fields, a highlight for many visitors, but take-off depends on the wind and flights can be cancelled or moved. North of Luxor, Dendera (Temple of Hathor) and Abydos (Temple of Seti I) keep superb carved and painted reliefs. Two days cover the highlights of both banks; three days are more relaxed.

Tips for Luxor

Summer middays are very hot: visit early and late.
The Valley of the Kings ticket covers a limited number of tombs; some famous tombs need an extra ticket.
Flash is usually not allowed in tombs; follow the photo rules on site.
Balloon pickups are before dawn: bring a jacket and keep a spare day for weather.
From Cairo, go by domestic flight, sleeper train or private car.
