Luxor, known in antiquity as Thebes, was once the capital of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom period. Situated on the east and west banks of the Nile River in Upper Egypt, it is widely regarded as the world's greatest open-air museum. The city serves as a hub for Nile River cruises traveling between Luxor and Aswan and is home to an extraordinary concentration of ancient monuments, temples, and tombs. Visitors explore legendary sites such as Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. Egypt's legal environment is not LGBTQ+-friendly; same-sex activity can be prosecuted under broadly construed morality laws, and LGBTQ+ travelers are strongly advised to exercise caution, dress modestly, and avoid public displays of affection.

Edfu is a city on the west bank of the Nile River in Upper Egypt, situated between Luxor and Aswan. It is a standard port of call on Nile cruise itineraries and is renowned primarily for the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Horus (Edfu Temple), one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Built during the Ptolemaic period, the temple dominates the city and draws visitors from around the world. The surrounding town retains a traditional Egyptian character, and the area offers a glimpse into daily life in rural Upper Egypt.
Aswan is a historic city on the east bank of the Nile in southern (Upper) Egypt, renowned for its near-perfect dry climate, ancient monuments, and rich Nubian heritage. It serves as a key destination on Nile River cruise itineraries, offering visitors access to remarkable archaeological sites, tranquil felucca sailing, colorful bazaars fragrant with spices and handicrafts, and the warm hospitality of the Nubian people. The city sits near the boundary of Egypt and Nubia, and its landscapes — golden desert hills, granite outcroppings, and the broad blue Nile — have enchanted travelers for centuries. Note: Egypt has no specific law explicitly criminalizing homosexuality but prosecutes same-sex relations under laws on 'debauchery,' 'public indecency,' and 'habitual practice of immorality.' LGBT+ travelers should exercise extreme discretion throughout Egypt, including Aswan. There are no openly gay venues in Aswan.
