Information about Luxor & Aswan

Nile Valley Information

The Nile Valley is home to some of the world's most famous and spectacular archaeological sites, reminders of Egypt's fascinating past.

Travellers have been visiting the region for centuries, and today Luxor and Aswan offer quality hotels and a chance to experience modern Egypt as well as a wealth of historical sights.

Holidays in Luxor

Luxor, once an Ancient Egyptian capital, is known today as the world's "greatest open-air museum." From the tomb of Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings and

the magnificent sunset views at the majestic temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor to the exciting and fun Nile cruises, Luxor is the perfect choice for culture vultures.

Luxor is divided by the Nile into two areas commonly called the East Bank and West Bank which were considered in Ancient Egyptian times as symbolizing respectively Life and Death.

While the East Bank has grown to become a modern city, it has retained its lush green setting, its traditional bazaar and stunning view of the Nile. The East Bank boasts some of Egypt's most refined hotels,

home to amazing Spa's and a golf course.

The West Bank is known for its necropolis and mortuary temples: the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the Workers Village, and the Temple of Medinet Habu are the highlights of Luxor’s West Bank.

In Ancient Egyptian mythology the setting sun to the west symbolised the journey to the afterlife, so it was fitting symbolism to bury the dead west of the Nile.

Holidays in Aswan

Egypt’s southern capital, Aswan, is 80 miles south of Luxor and Located about 899 km south from Cairo, Aswan is a serene Nile Valley destination where the Nile is more majestic than anywhere else, flowing through granite rocks,

and round emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants. It is considered as an all-time favourite winter destination.

Moreover, you'll be surprised to see how many monuments and sites this small city has to offer. Consider sailing to the temple of Philae, seeing the Agha Khan Mausoleum and taking an excursion to St. Simeon’s Monastery.

Egypt's sunniest southern city is the perfect destination to stroll and relax in a magical cultural setting: wander down the broad walkway, locally known as the corniche, to watch feluccas slowly sailing the Nile then stop at

one of the floating restaurants to enjoy Nubian music and freshly caught fish. Aswan offers a splendid view of the Nile and is a great starting point for a Nile cruise.

Aswan also offers a rich cultural experience; you’ll get to know Nubian culture and shop for spices, henna tattoos, souvenirs and African handmade goods at the Aswan souk. The word Aswan derives in fact from the Ancient Egyptian word “Soun” meaning souk or trade.

It has earned its name thanks to the city’s strategic position, on the trade route linking the North of Egypt to its South.

Holidays in Alexandria

Famous for being called the "Pearl of the Mediterranean,” the captivating Alexandria will fascinate you with its mix of history and modernity.

Although very little remains of the old city,

Alexandria still retains its Mediterranean ambience and old European residence houses,

combined with old cafes and Greco Roman monuments.

The Catacombs of Kom el-Shouqafa, the underwater ruins of Montazah and Maamoura and the city’s vibrant arts scene make Alexandria a great sightseeing destination.

Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque and the Coptic Cathedral of St. Mark are also sights to behold.

The beauty and cosmopolitanism of Alexandria inspired great authors such as the British novelist E.M. Forster,

the Greek poet Constantine Cavafy who respectively lived in Alexandria in the early and late 19th century, and Lawrence Durrell who lived and wrote about the city during World War II.

Named in honour of Alexander the Great, Alexandria has a fascinating history dating back more than 2000 years.

Cleopatra's Needles are perhaps Alexandria's best-known exports; yet still remaining are mosques, churches, a synagogue, a greek quarter, a Turkish quarter, a citadel and a fort (Fort Qaitbey).

Alexandria is also probably Egypt's most understated beach resort. Basking in Mediterranean sunshine throughout long summer months, Alexandria is only 2 and a half hours away from Cairo by road or train - making it an ideal two-centre holiday destination.

Holidays in Alexandria are unique, offering a taste of authentic modern Egyptian life in a relaxed seaside setting that is less remote than the Red Sea resorts and combines city life with a beach culture.
