Luxor

Luxor is a destination of a lifetime, with history, hospitality, and splendor like you’ve never seen.

Luxor, the most recognized city in Upper Egypt, stands as the Egyptian city with the richest assortment of ancient Egyptian sites and antiquities. Today, it is one of the most populated urban centers and has a renowned reputation as the “world’s largest open-air museum”. An unmissable treasure on the Nile, Luxor is one of Tarot Tour’s most tempting destinations and a haven of history for travelers of all kinds.

Perhaps the most remarkable ancient Egyptian asset, and the largest, is Karnak Temple. There is an extraordinary collection of sanctuaries, temples, chapels, and pylons, the most majestic of which is the Temple of Amun-Ra. Cast over a vast land area of 417 km2, Luxor’s wonderous ruins and artifacts include the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the momentous Valley of the Kings.

Enjoy scenic bliss on the Nile, with history meandering its way across the banks. On this voyage, you will encounter the city of Edfu, a focal point of ancient Egyptian history and home to the great Edfu Temple of Horus, one of the best-preserved shrines and a ubiquitous symbol of the mysterious feats of ancient Egyptian architecture. Another example of this is the Colossi of Memnon. Marvel at the greatness of this pair of statues, standing 59 feet tall and depicting King Amenhotep III.

Your voyage will not be complete without a visit to Luxor Temple, illuminated during the night and dichotomously located in the midst of modern-day structures and the urban center. Standing next to it is the Winter Palace Hotel, a historic British-colonial era construction. With its regal façade and sprawling green spaces, this stop will be one to awe and inspire.
