Luxor is located in the Upper section of Egypt. While you are there, be sure to visit the ruins of two temples: Karnak and Luxor. If you have time, on the other side of the Nile River, you can seem the famous tombs and temples of the Valley of Kings and also of Queens. These sites are visited by thousands of people each year. Because of this reason, you will find that Luxor is a common starting or ending point of many Egypt vacations and Nile river cruises.
Here is what you can expect to see while on a tour of the Luxor area:
- On the East Bank of Luxor Egypt
- Luxor Temple
- Karnak Temple
- Luxor & Mummification Museum
- Winter Palace Hotel
- On the West Bank of Luxor Egypt
- Valley of the Kings and also of Queens
- Medinet Habu (memorial temple of Ramesses III)
- The Ramesseum (memorial temple of Ramesses II)
- Deir al-Madinah (workers’ village)
- Tombs of the Nobles
- Deir el-Bahri (temple of Hatshepsut, etc.)

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
