The close Luxor Temple is a trip back in time, especially when lit up beautifully at night. You should go into the Valley of the Kings to see the tombs of pharaohs, such as Tutankhamun’s. This ancient city is even more beautiful because of the huge Colossi of Memnon and the beautiful Temple of Hatshepsut.
The Oberoi Zahra Nile Cruise is more than just learning about history. Do some one-of-a-kind things that will make your trip memorable. Enjoy the peace of a felucca ride at sunset, when the calm waters of the Nile reflect the sun’s golden rays. You could ride a hot air balloon over Luxor if you want to try something new.
