Reasons To
Visit Egypt

  • Ancient Civilisations

    The Ancient Egyptians have attracted more interest and attention than almost any other ancient civilisation. Their feats of engineering, and the details of their lives we can glean from tomb and temple walls make them seem very alive; similarly their obsession with death also fascinates us.

  • Ancient Ruins

    From the temples of Upper Egypt, to the numerous fantastic pyramids near Cairo, Egypt is probably best known for its ancient ruins. Even once away from the ever-popular Nile Valley, there are oasis tombs, and remnants of Roman Alexandria to uncover.

  • Beaches

    The shores of the Red Sea are rightly famous the world over. The water is a stunning clear blue and the coral reefs are simply amazing. Year-round, the sun shines, and there are excursions into the mountainous interior to tempt you away from the sand and lapping waves.

  • Cruises

    Gliding serenely past lush green fields, farmed by ox-drawn ploughshares, admiring the sleek form of a egret is one of the great pleasures of a visit to Egypt. The fact that this glimpse of unchanged rural life also links together some of the greatest historical monuments in Egypt makes a Nile cruise a must!

  • Museums

    The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities is one of the world's great treasure troves, crammed with artefacts from the country's illustrious past. Other, much smaller museums are more than worthy of your time: Luxor museum is especially noteworthy.

  • Souqs & Shopping

    As you twist and turn deeper into the Khan El Khalili, passing under Mamluke arches and admiring Ottoman 'mashrabiya' window screens, you're drawn into a traditional world where charismatic vendors try to persuade you to purchase handicrafts and goods manufactured in a tiny workshop behind the shop front.

Luxor

After a recent $50 million refurbishment, the Luxor Hilton is one of the most luxurious and contemporary hotels in the city, with majestic views over the Nile.

The hotel has one of the most impressive spa complexes in Egypt, while the inventively designed infinity pool, with submerged loungers and an incredible location right next to the Nile, is possibly the finest you will find in Egypt. Rooms are comfortable and contemporary, most of them boasting Nile views, and for extra luxury you could choose to stay in one of the Spa Suites, complete with its own private courtyard and treatment room!

There is a range of cuisine to sample in the different restaurants and you can enjoy a sundowner drink or a sheesha pipe in real comfort, with an assortment of rooftop sofas and cushions looking out over the Nile.

The location of the hotel is also excellent, just a 15 minute walk from Karnak temple, which you can visit at any time under your own steam.
