Luxor, Egypt
Situated on the eastern bank of the River Nile, Luxor is one of the world’s most important historical sites. It was the capital of the ancient Egyptians' New Kingdom and home to the Pharaohs whose tombs can be visited in their resting place of the Valley of the Kings. With tombs, temples and statues abound, you will be spoilt for choice in this historical metropolis.
Luxor should be appreciated both by day and by night. The vast Luxor Temple is magnificent by day but is also stunning when floodlit by night. Why not take a dawn trip in a hot air balloon, the sun rising over the Valley of the Kings is an experience you will never forget.
Luxor also houses a number of fascinating museums including the museum of mummification. The souk is the place for hard bargaining, so if it’s a carpet or other curio, that’s the place to get it!
You could also take a ferry over the Nile to Thebes which is the ‘ancient city of the dead’ and holds more intriguing sights and activities.
