Luxor

The ancient city of Thebes on the Nile, called the world's greatest open-air museum. On the east bank rise the colossal temples of Karnak and Luxor, linked by a reopened avenue of sphinxes; across the river, where the sun set, the pharaohs hid their tombs in the Valley of the Kings and raised grand temples to keep their names alive. Read the greatest temple-city of antiquity and the hidden land of the royal dead, at your own pace.
