What to See
Luxor - Located on the banks of the Nile River, Luxor is often referred to as “the world’s greatest open-air museum.” Here you will find Karnak, a temple complex consisting of a plethora of pylons, temples, obelisks, chapels, and other structures that is dominated by the Temple of Amun-Ra, considered to be where the Egyptian god Amun lived on earth; and Luxor, once the most significant religious center in Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt upon which Luxor is built, believed to be where many kings of ancient Egypt were crowned.
Aswan - Hop aboard a felucca and escape the heat at Aswan Botanical Garden, a lush paradise at Kitchener’s Island on the Nile whose manicured gardens are home to a plethora of exotic plants, trees, and birds. Keep sailing to nearby Elephantine Island, where you will find traditional Nubian villages, archaeological sites, and the Aswan Museum. Discover the art, history, and culture of Nubia at the Nubia Museum, which displays a cornucopia of prehistoric artifacts including painted pottery bowls that are more than 6,000 years old. See where the ancient rulers and dignitaries of this land are laid to rest at the Tombs of the Nobles.
