Visit the Luxor Temple

This ancient temple dedicated to Amun-Ra is a must-visit for any cat traveling to Luxor. It's packed full of historical significance and grandeur.

Take a felucca ride on the Nile river

Cats can enjoy a peaceful river ride on a traditional wooden boat. Felucca rides are best at sunset, with the warm sun rays on your paws and a refreshing breeze in your fur.

Try the local cuisine

Luxor's cuisine is a mix of Egyptian, Nubian, and Arabic food. Cats should try koshari, ful medames, and shakshuka. And for dessert, don't miss out on the decadent Om Ali!
