About Luxor
Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes, sits on the Nile in Upper Egypt and is widely regarded as the world's greatest open-air museum. Home to Karnak and Luxor temples on the east bank and the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, and Deir el-Bahri on the west bank, it draws around 5 million tourists annually. For Nile river cruise passengers, Luxor is typically either the embarkation point or a major stop on the classic Cairo–Luxor–Aswan itinerary.
Luxor is extremely hot in summer (June–August), with temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C. The best visiting season is November through March when daytime temperatures range from 14°C to 26°C with brilliant sunshine. Rainfall is virtually nonexistent year-round.
