Arrive, unpack, relax, and explore on this splendidly flexible week in Luxor. Designed to suit your style and tempo, the tour includes guided visits to the west bank tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the astonishing eastern enclave of the Karnak and Luxor temples, along with views of the riverbanks from the deck of a traditional felucca. Remarkable optional experiences range from seeing the city by hot-air balloon to a close-up insight of ancient artisans’ life at the humble Tombs of the Workers, or stepping into legends of Cleopatra at the Greco-Roman Temple of Denderah. You could opt for an extra touch of luxury by upgrading your stay to the iconic Old Winter Palace hotel, where Howard Carter announced his discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Bags of free time is built-in to the tour for you to decide on a relaxing day or lively exploration; and rather than restricting you to hotel fare, most days leave you free to choose your venue and menu, from rustic simplicity to riverside tables and elegant restaurants in ‘modern’ Luxor, its souks, shops, and houses hemming three sides of the ancient city of Thebes, where just crossing the road is time-travelling through the millennia.
Sail on a traditional felucca; while the sun gently sets over this ancient and mystical land, become captivated by the vibrant colours and beauty of the
timeless River Nile. As the felucca glides gracefully, passing lush riverbanks and glorious landscapes, watch life unwind and experience pure serenity.
Temple and tomb visits are on foot with steps and uneven surfaces.
