Fun and entertainment Nile Valley

For a time, this was the most interesting sound and light show in Egypt. It retraces an entire historical period of prime importance, and allows us to appreciate the magnitude and splendor of the festivities celebrating the flooding of the Nile. If you're allergic to dust, bring a scarf. In winter, it can be very cold, and in summer, mosquitoes attack spectators on the stands. The Temple of Karnak under the spotlights is even more breathtaking! However, the show could do with a little refreshment.

An incredible terrace, perched high above the Nile, facing Elephantine Island. A superb bar where Agatha Christie, like the world's greatest, used to drink her cocktails... This Sofitel, aptly described as "a Victorian palace built in the ^19th century on a pink granite rock", is a superb address and the ideal place to watch the sun set over the Nile, with the rustle of palm fronds in the background. The break may be a little pricey, but it's well worth it!

Located not far from the museum in a 1920 building of colonial style, the Oasis Café Luxor is the ideal place to enjoy a good coffee and a small snack in a relaxed atmosphere with a well-chosen musical background. You can also enjoy local and European dishes in a more sophisticated atmosphere.

This small café (which also doubles as a restaurant) is the ideal place to take a break in the heat of the day during your visit to Luxor. Although the decor is a little basic, its vast windows offer a breathtaking view of Luxor temple. The second floor is air-conditioned, while the fourth floor is not, but offers an even better view. Khaled will welcome you with a huge smile. What's more, the cardamom kawa is delicious - what more could you ask for? Other cafés of similar standing adjoin it, but it's here that you're best received!

Opened in 1994 by a native of Luxor who had fallen under the spell of English pubs during an extended stay in Great Britain, Kings Head Pub offers beers and cocktails at very reasonable prices, and it is possible to eat. Count about 200 LE for your meal. For a glass of Egyptian wine count 120 LE, and for a cocktail 60 LE. For the atmosphere we don't skimp on happy hours, live football matches and disco nights: so British! You can dance to the Beatles or... Bob Marley! Very pleasant staff.

Since 1990, this typical ahwa has been satisfying the cravings of customers and souk vendors for hot drinks and fragrant smoke, day and night. The Egyptian and Finnish owners of the café provide everything to make it easier for customers to come. If the local buses are not suitable for you, call for a taxi. And if you are on the other side of the shore, everything is provided, the staff will order a motorboat for you. Nice café where you can sip your drink while playing billiards, dominoes...
