Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Luxor is one of Egypt's most manageable solo destinations — the East and West Banks are easily navigated by bicycle or calèche, the main sites are clearly signposted, and the tourist infrastructure is solid. Hire a guide for the Valley of the Kings to get real depth from the experience. Early morning visits beat the crowds and the heat.

Karnak Temple
Culture
One of the largest religious complexes ever built, developed over some 2,000 years and dedicated mainly to the god Amun-Ra, about 3km north of central Luxor. The Great Hypostyle Hall's 134 giant columns are the highlight, along with obelisks, the sacred lake and avenues of sphinxes. Go at opening time to beat the heat and the tour buses.
