Book your plane ticket to Luxor

For many years, Luxor was the capital city of the Egyptian Empire. At the time, the city was called Thebe. That is why culture and history lovers should have Luxor high on their bucket list. By far the most important attraction is the Valley of the Kings, with the famous burial site of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, among others. For the Egyptians, the valley was the logical place to bury the pharaohs because it is where the sun sets. Fly to Luxor and you travel back in time to centuries ago.

Luxor: history and a lovely inner city

There is plenty more to do in Luxor. Visit the temples of Karnak, an enormous complex where you will feel miniscule among the metres-high temple columns. Or go on a boat trip on the Nile, discover the historical inner city of Luxor or wander endlessly around the market. Afterwards, you can relax and unwind at one of the lovely outdoor cafes. While you’re there, order a Karkadeh tea, a popular Egyptian tea made with hibiscus leaves. Ready to explore? Book your flight to Luxor and pack your suitcase!
