Luxor is located on the right bank of the Nile, approximately 700 km south of Cairo, Luxor is home to some of the world's most famous monuments. The ruins of the ancient city of Thebes, such as the Temple of Amun, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1979. The city which was once the ancient capital of Pharaonic Egypt, is a must for history lovers. They can soak up the past while enjoying the beautiful hotel facilities.

We would like to draw your attention to the security measures for travelers to Egypt.
- We advise our customers to use hard-sided luggage with built-in padlocks, or that allows padlocks or seals to be affixed without leaving a gap of more than 1 cm, to prevent the intrusion of any illicit object. If a customer is carrying baggage that does not allow for full security by sealing, the passenger will be required to have their hold baggage laminated prior to check-in in Egypt at their own expense.
- In order to ensure the proper implementation of these measures, we ask our customers to comply with the instructions received from the staff in charge upon departure from Egypt. Any refusal to cooperate with our local partners may result in luggage not being transported.
