Luxor accommodation from NZ$40

Things to Do in Luxor

Among the most famous attractions in Luxor is the Temple of Karnak, which is still considered the largest religious site ever constructed. We “sphinx” you’ll also love the nearby Temple of Luxor, which is connected to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes, an ancient Egyptian parade route. Greek, Roman, Christian and Muslim influences make this temple an architectural melting pot.

You’ll be too busy to spend much time in your Luxor hotel, especially with the Temple of Medinet Habu awaiting your visit. Here you can see well-preserved hieroglyphics (aka, ancient memes) that highlight important historical events, and explore the Valley of the Kings and important tombs like that of King Tutankhamun. When you need a break from trekking through history, there’s no need to live in de Nile—just hop on a scenic boat ride and you’ll be cruising down the famous river like Queen Cleo.

Getting To & Around Luxor

Flights to Luxor will require a couple of stops, so prepare for a layover or two. Once you land, the airport is just 4 miles outside the city, so you can easily utilise taxi or shuttle services to get to the hotels in Luxor. Should you want to swim in the Red Sea, the seaside resorts of Hurghada are about 300 kilometres away and booking one of Wotif’s car hire deals is a great way to get there.
