Overview

There are few more atmospheric ways to discover Luxor, the vibrant city that sits on the site of ancient Thebes, than by horse carriage. Skip the stress of haggling with drivers and benefit from the expertise of an Egyptologist guide as you trot along the Nile. You’ll explore Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple on foot (entrance at your own expense), and visit a mosque built inside an ancient Egyptian temple.
