Luxor

---

Luxor is where the extraordinary history of Egypt comes alive and really makes an impact on every traveller.

There are so many amazing temples to explore here in the midst of the Nile Valley including Luxor, Karnak and Deir al-Bahri. You can marvel for hours over the complexity and magnificence of these architectural wonders, with a history spanning 5000 glorious years.

Not to be missed are the spectacular tombs in the Valley of Kings. This amazing canyon looks totally barren but held chambers filled with treasure, the last resting places of the mighty Pharaohs of Egypt.


“Royal Thebes,
Egyptian treasure-house of countless wealth,
Who boasts her hundred gates, through each of which,
With horse and car, two hundred warriors march.”

Homer, The Iliad, Book IX
