Colossal Karnak
|
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
I didn't really know what to expect when my traveling companion and I set out for Karnak Temple complex early one morning. I was certainly surprised by the scale of the place! As far as I'm... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor eastbank karnaktemplecomplex templeofptah greathypostylehall |

Luxor Temple by Night
|
By day, Luxor Temple is just one more in a long string of temples to see in Luxor. But at night, it becomes something else altogether! Luxor Temple is mercifully spared the horrid sound effects... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor eastbank luxortemple luxortemplebynight lightshows |

The Tombs of the Nobles
|
The Tombs of the Nobles are often passed over in favour of the more famous tombs in the Valley of the Kings. While these tombs are certainly not as large or as richly decorated as those of the... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor westbank tombsofthenobles sennofer rekhmire |

4. Travel Tip:
Medinat Habu
|
Because it is slightly off the main road to the Valley of the Kings, Medinat Habu is a site which tourists often miss. But it is well worth your time! The temple is built on the break between the... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor westbank medinathabu ramsesiii |

Ruins of the Ramasseum

1 of 1 people found this review helpful
This complex, built by Ramses II as a testament to his eternal strength, has perhaps not stood the test of time so well as its creator would have hoped. The ruins are not nearly so impressive as... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor westbank ramasseum ramsesii |

Iberotel Luxor: Come for the Pool!
|
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
The Iberotel is a very reasonably-priced four-star hotel on the banks of the Nile. It is located at the far end of a string of hotels, but no more than 8 minutes' walk from Luxor Temple and the... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor iberotel eastbank cornicheelnil lodging |

Colossi of Memnon
|
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
These are very impressive statues which were once part of a massive temple complex. They now stand virtually alone on the plain, and they are well worth a short detour off the main road. Go early... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor westbank colossiofmemnon |

Felucca Ride on the Nile
|
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
There are few things as pleasant as a sunset ride in a felucca on the Nile. Expect to pay around 20 Egyptian pounds per hour, but the experience is well worth the price. Many of the felucca... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor nileriver felucca bananaisland |

Getting Around in Luxor

Getting around in Luxor is fairly easy, particularly as the town centre is quite small. Everything on the East Bank of Luxor is easily within walking distance, and the wide shady pathways along... Tags for this Travel Tip: luxor gettingaround eastbank westbank ferry carriage |
