Day trip to Luxor by plane from Cairo

Luxor is considered the world's greatest outdoor museum, containing nearly one third of the world’s antiquities. Located about 415 miles (670 km) south of Cairo, Luxor remained the seat of power from 2100 to 750 B.C.

You’ll see this timeless city's stunning monuments and temples with towering pillars that sit on both banks of the Nile.

You'll explore the City of the Living on the east bank, where the sun--the source of life and growth--rises as well as discover the City of the Dead on the west bank where the sunset symbolizes the eclipse of life.

Your next stop will be the amazing mortuary Temple of Hatshepsutm which was constructed by the 18th dynasty Queen Hatshepsut (1473 – 1458 BC) as a unique structure rising from the desert in the shape of a series of imposing terraces.
