About this trip

Four days built around Luxor's temples and tombs, with a train journey from Cairo on the Talgo, styled after the old-world rail travel of Agatha Christie's era.

You're based at the Iberotel Luxor, a Nile-side hotel with a floating pool and views across to the West Bank, and the days are spent moving between the major sites on both banks of the river.

This is a private, fully guided trip, so it suits families or small groups who want their own pace rather than joining a larger tour.

What you'll do

  • Walk the Avenue of Sphinxes and Karnak Temple
  • See the Great Colonnade Hall at Luxor Temple
  • Enter tombs cut into the Valley of the Kings
  • Visit the cliff-side Temple of Queen Hatshepsut
  • Explore Ramses III's temple at Medinet Habu
  • See the Colossi of Memnon and the Temple of Hathor at Dendera
Good to know
  • Private and fully guided, so timings can flex around your group
  • Travel between Cairo and Luxor is by train rather than flight
