Welcome to Luxor, Egypt
We have visited Luxor twice. First in 2020 as a stop from a cruise through the Suez Canal and then again in 2023 where we visited Luxor as the start and end point of a 7 day cruise on the Nile.
The first time we visited the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings. The second time there was more time to visit more locations and spend more time at each.
Because of the extended time we spent here I have added some individual pages for you to drill down and view our time spent at each one.

A short video of some of the children of Luxor by our riverboat. They had asked me my name and then began calling out.
