About Luxor

Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities describes Karnak, on the east bank, and the Valley of the Kings, across the river from ancient Thebes. Nile cruisers embark at Luxor or Aswan; the Oberoi’s ships, for one, sail from either on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Why it's on our list

  • Karnak on the east bank
  • Valley of the Kings on the west
  • Embark at Luxor or Aswan

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Luxor before you go.
