Luxor & Aswan Holidays


africa
Luxor and Aswan holidays offer an exceptional collection of historic monuments and iconic sights, revealing the grandeur of ancient Egypt in truly spectacular surroundings. From majestic temples and intricately decorated tombs to the timeless beauty of the Nile, these destinations provide an unforgettable journey steeped in history.

Situated on the eastern bank of the Nile, the modern city of Luxor is built around the remarkable Karnak and Luxor Temples. Across the river to the west lie some of Egypt’s most important archaeological treasures, including the Valley of the Kings - home to the tomb of Tutankhamun - the Valley of the Queens, and the striking Temple of Hatshepsut.

Picturesque Aswan is home to the famous Philae Temple, which was dramatically relocated stone by stone following the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the creation of Lake Nasser. The city’s laidback atmosphere allows visitors to slow down, watching traditional feluccas glide across the Nile to Elephantine Island or the tranquil botanic gardens.

Trailfinders offers a range of holidays to Luxor & Aswan and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to take in the sites as part of a Nile Cruise, or linger longer on the banks of the river as part of a multi centre Egypt holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
