Living in Luxor - Leisure Activities in Luxor
Riding
Get to know the villages of the Luxor West Bank at a comfortable speed on the back of a camel, a horse, or a donkey. You can also rent a bike - if you like to do something for your fitness and determine the speed for yourself.
Swimming
You can use hotel swimming pools for a fee even if you are not staying there.
Birdwatching
Along the River Nile, there live and nest numerous bird species, which can hardly ever be watched in Central Europe. For example, you can find the Little Green Bee-Eater, African Hoopoe, Pied Kingfisher, Little Egret, Nile Valley Sunbird, and Spur-Winged Plover. Some birds migrate in summer, others can be found throughout the year in and around Luxor.
Sailing or Motorboating
The Nile (Arabic: النيل, an-Nīl) is the longest river in the world and the lifeline of Egypt. Without its waters, there would be no life in Egypt. The Nile passes through Luxor and divides the city into a lively urban east side and a contemplative rural west side, the necropolis of ancient Thebes. Boats act as taxis to go from one bank to the other. Aboard a felucca in the early evening, it is truly relaxing letting the banks pass and gliding calmly during the sunset.
Hot-Air Ballooning
Watch the sunrise over the Nile and the sites of Luxor's west bank from the air. Glide majestically with tranquillity and peace over the temples and burial grounds of the pharaohs. See this spectacular landscape from a unique viewpoint, you will never forget it. Most flights take place at dawn when the winds are most favourable. You have to get up very early but it's worth it.
Visiting an Art Gallery
Since 2019, there has been a vivid exhibition scene for contemporary art on the west bank of Luxor. In particular, the Nūn Art Gallery has to be mentioned, as it significantly enriches the cultural life with monthly exhibitions and art events during the season. Gallery website
Shopping
In the Souk (Souq) on Market Street, you will find a wide variety of goods for sale, from statues to scarfs, bags and belts to papyrus, alabaster, Egyptian ornaments, perfume oils, hookahs, gold & silver, and so on. You also find goods for your daily use like fruits and vegetables, tea, spices and herbs, bread and sweets, towels, western clothes, as well as djellabiyas, the traditional Egyptian casual dress for men and women.
As the Souk in Luxor is sheltered, it's pleasant to stroll around. And when you feel tired from bargaining, have a coffee or tea in one of the coffee shops.
Reading and learning
If you like to learn more about the Ancient Egyptian culture and heritage, visit 2007 inaugurated Luxor Heritage Center with Misr Public Library (Luxor East Bank, Karnak Temple Street).

Just Relaxing
Don't forget it because that's the charm and gift of Luxor: just relax! Visit one of the numerous open-air cafés and enjoy a fresh lemon juice or a karkadeh (karkady), the tasty tea made of hibiscus flowers that is served hot or cooled as desired. The drink is said to have been the preferred drink of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt.
