Aswan

Aswan  Spread out along the banks of the Nile, Aswan is a relaxed and friendly town that provides a tranquil interlude if you've just arrived from busier  Luxor  or  Cairo .

The river here is speckled with islands holding picturesque mud-brick Nubian villages, and hemmed by the West Bank's colossal san... Read more

Luxor

  Luxor stands head-and-shoulders above Egypt's other towns for its sheer wealth of temples and tombs. This was the site of ancient Thebes, the great city of the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom pharaohs who covered the banks of the Nile with their mammoth building works and began the vast tomb structures snugly hidden amid the rocky valley of the West Bank. The scope of their ambition is best appreciated today in the magnificent Karnak Temple complex, but there are so many monuments here that you could easily spend a week simply soaking up the elegance and grandeur. Luxor is basically an open-air museum and there's no better place in  Egypt  to stop for a few days... Read more
