Luxor is about three to four hours north of Aswan by road, and the two cities are the anchors of a classic Nile journey.

By road or by cruise

Many travellers see Luxor and Aswan as the two ends of a Nile cruise, which stops at the riverside temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu that are hard to reach otherwise. A road day trip is quicker and cheaper if you are based in Aswan and want Luxor's West and East Banks in a day.

What you see in Luxor

The Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank, and the vast Karnak and Luxor Temples on the East. If you have the time, doing this stretch by cruise is more relaxed than a long day drive, as our Nile cruise guide explains.
