Luxor

World’s Greatest Open-Air Museum

Known as the world’s greatest open-air museum, Luxor sits gracefully on the Nile’s banks, where glorious sunsets cast golden light over the river. Sailing at dusk offers a chance to step back in time as the temples glow in the fading sun.

 

Built on the site of ancient Thebes, Luxor was once the heart of Egypt’s power and faith. The vast Karnak Temple with its forest of columns and the majestic Luxor Temple stand as open books of stone, telling stories of gods and kings.
