As buffets fade from the Vegas strip, Egypt offers a spectacular alternative where every day brings a celebration of flavours and hospitality.

In Egypt’s top hotels and aboard its legendary Nile cruise ships, travellers wake up to sumptuous buffet breakfasts featuring fresh-baked breads, local cheeses, exotic fruits, and international classics. Lunches and dinners on Nile cruises are equally extravagant: imagine gourmet spreads served with panoramic river views, blending Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and continental cuisine – all presented in grand buffet style.

Why Are Travellers Flocking to Luxor?

Luxor is known as the “world’s greatest open-air museum,” captivating travellers with its awe-inspiring temples, ancient tombs, and colourful markets. Here, every day serves up a new adventure:

• Explore the mighty Karnak and Luxor Temples
• Descend into the mysterious Valley of the Kings
• Enjoy sunset views on the river, then dine under the stars
• Savour local treats in bustling souks and riverside cafés

Unlike a Vegas buffet, every experience in Luxor is unique, steeped in thousands of years of culture and hospitality.
