Overview
Discover Luxor, Egypt
Luxor occupies the site of ancient Thebes, once the capital of Egypt's New Kingdom and the most powerful city in the ancient world. Karnak and Luxor Temple rise on the east bank, while the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's temple lie across the river on the west bank's desert cliffs. A luxury Luxor tour reveals a concentration of pharaonic history unmatched anywhere else on Earth, from the intact tomb of Tutankhamun to the painted burial chambers of ancient queens. Few destinations reward days rather than hours, and Luxor is one of them.
