| Luxor holidays. Often called the world's greatest open-air museum, and home to over a third of the world's greatest antiquities, Luxor is really three different areas; the city of Luxor on the east side of the Nile, the town of Karnak just north of Luxor, and Thebes, which the ancient Egyptians called Waset, which is on the west side of the Nile across from Luxor. Holidays in Luxor are holidays to love and remember. | ![]() |
