Luxor Attractions
Description
Venue: Luxor When: Daily
Luxor is not famous for its shopping scene, but if you fancy a break from ancient monuments, the town's colourful bazaars are a good bet for a spot of retail therapy. Numerous small shops offer everything from carved wooden statues and jewellery to hand-woven rugs, perfumes and spices and, of course, the famous local alabaster. Pick up traditional Egyptian papyrus too - it is genuine if it doesn't split when rolled.
