Egypt’s extraordinary open-air museum
Top Tables
1886 Restaurant
Unusually for this city, smart dress is required, but 1886 – housed in a classic old Luxor institution – really delivers on the fine European delicacies. Old Winter Palace Hotel, Corniche El-Nil, East Bank, +20 95 238 0422
Oasis Café
This atmospheric eatery brims with colonial elegance, which is reason enough to savour a frothy cappuccino at least. Sharia Dr Labib Habashi, East Bank, +20 95 336 7121
At Your Leisure
Hot-air Ballooning
The best way to beat the crowds among the tombs and temples of Luxor’s West Bank is to travel by air. The view over the monuments and mountains is breathtaking. Arrange your trip through your hotel or any of Luxor’s travel agents.
