Surrounding Area

Luxor is an obligatory stop for the first time cultural tourist to Egypt and for many repeat visitors. A second attraction is the natural beauty of the Theban Mountains and the Nile River, which offer outstanding scenery for all types of tourists. A third attraction is the local village life present in Luxor and throughout the river valley, relevant for the cultural tourist. This beauty is not at all unique to Luxor as it is found throughout the Nile river valley and in many of the country's Oases. Finaly a fourth attraction is the mild, dry sunny weather of the region for most of the year particularly in the winter months.
