22 days in Luxor Itinerary

A monumental number of archaeological relics from ancient Egypt remain evident in Luxor, the former capital of the New Kingdom.

Venture out of the city with trips to Tombs of the Nobles (in Al Asasif), Temple of Khnum (in Esna) and Dendera Temple Complex (in Dendera). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Temple of Karnak, pause for some photo ops at Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, enjoy unforgettable views with a balloon tour, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Medinet Habu.
