Dive info

Luxor, built on the site of ancient Thebes on the banks of the great River Nile, is often described as the World’s Largest Open Air Museum.  Home to some of the greatest antiquities in the world, Luxor is a city where the past and the present meet and come to life.  It is a charming destination, combining historical sites, colourful street life, markets and bazaars, which will give you a true taste of the real Egypt.

Famous for its wealth of history, culture and sun-filled days, most people visit Luxor for the abundance of ancient sites. The city also offers good shopping, fine restaurants and great hotels to relax in after the hustle and bustle of the lively streets. Sunloungers round the pool, poolside bars with views of the Nile and magnificent scenery all make for great memories of your time spent in Luxor.

River Cruise 

The River Nile has been Egypt’s lifeline since ancient times, and what better way to follow Egypt’s history than along the course of the Nile. Joining the cruise boat from Luxor, learn the history of the city and Karnak Temple, which is situated on the East Bank of Luxor. Visit the West Bank of Luxor, the final resting place of the Pharaohs and home to Tutankhamun’s Tomb, in the Valley of the Kings. Cruising south down the river and past the magnificent scenery on the river banks, stop at Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan, with an option to visit the stunning Temple at Abu Simbel, before the relaxing cruise back from Aswan to Luxor. The Nile cruise truly gives an impressive representation of the seven thousand years of history that Egypt proudly boasts.

Luxor Options 

If you are visiting Hurghada, El Gouna, Safaga, El Quseir or Marsa Alam for a 7 night duration holiday, you can combine your stay on the Red Sea coast with a hotel stay in Luxor for a few days. This will allow you to take in the wonderful historical sites.

Regaldive can also offer longer durations in Luxor. For example, you can combine a stay in the Red Sea with as many days as you wish to stay in Luxor. Alternatively, you may join the 7 night Nile River Cruise, from Luxor, and then spend your second week diving in the Red Sea.
