4 min read | Published: Apr 14, 2020 | Updated: Apr 30, 2026 | TRIPS IN EGYPT

Built on the banks of the great Nile River, Luxor is a city where half a million inhabitants live and is also considered the world’s largest open-air museum. The city contains some of the largest and most outstanding ancient monuments ever constructed. For travelers staying in the capital, booking a 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo by Plane is the most efficient way to maximize your time, allowing you to witness the city's daytime wonders and stay late enough to enjoy its enchanting evening atmosphere. Luxor has a lot of tombs, monuments, and temples still standing in well-preserved conditions. Here are the best things to do in Luxor at night:

1. Enjoy Dinner Cruise at the Nile View in Luxor
