Luxor
On shores of the majestic Nile, Luxor
is the perfect
place to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt. The awe inspiring
Temple
of Karnak is one of the largest temple complexes still in existence,
while the smaller Luxor Temple is home to many impressive monuments.
On the
west bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings is dotted with tombs
of Pharaohs, including that of Tutankhamen, while close by is the
Valley of the Queens, Temple of Hapshetsut and the massive Colossi of Memnon. The area
around Luxor is also awash with historical interest, while the town
itself
is a quiet resort, with a good range of local shops and dining options, and fine selection of hotels.
