Tour description
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, the glorious capital of the pharaohs, and holds the greatest concentration of ancient monuments on earth, from the towering Luxor and Karnak temples to the royal tombs across the Nile. Often called the world's greatest open-air museum, it is unforgettable. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its wonders.
You will stand before the great Luxor Temple, walk the avenue of sphinxes, and hear about the pharaohs, the gods and ancient Thebes. Along the way you will take in views over the Nile toward the Valley of the Kings. Ancient and awe-inspiring, Luxor is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
