A trip to Upper Egypt is never complete without a visit to Aswan. Easily accessible by train from Luxor, enjoy a direct ride to this historical city and start discovering its most iconic places.

Luxor, the World’s greatest open-air museum

The easiest way to visit Luxor is certainly by plane straight away from Cairo. But if you have more time, you can complete your adventure with a road-trip heading to the Red Sea. Then, it will take you 3 hours driving in the desert from Hurghada, to finally reach Luxor and its lavish nature that stands beside the river Nile. It is honestly not exaggerated to state that “The Valley of the Kings” offers the most F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C view of the Nile and definitely the most stunning sunrise I ever experienced, overlooking hot air balloons rising above the mountains.

You will find below the list of the most iconic sites to visit in Luxor – you can explore all these places by yourself by hiring a taxi driver. Another great option would be an organized tour – Get Your Guide proposes many of them including transportation from your hotel and an English guide at a very competitive price.
