Turkish Airlines has announced that it would start direct flights to Luxor, Egypt. The first flights will start in September 2019.
Beginning from September 23, Istanbul-Luxor flights will be operated 4 times a week and gradually will increase to eight by January 2020.
Luxor is probably the most popular and important touristic destination in Egypt. As the site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Waset, Luxor has frequently been characterized as the “world’s greatest open-air museum”, as the ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor stand within the modern city. Immediately opposite, across the River Nile, lie the monuments, temples and tombs of the West Bank Necropolis, which includes the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens.
Thousands of tourists from all around the world arrive annually to visit these monuments, contributing greatly to the economy of the modern city.
