Luxor tours & day trips
Temples on one bank, royal tombs on the other: Karnak and Luxor Temple to the east, the Valley of the Kings to the west.
As Thebes, this was the capital of Egypt at its most powerful, and roughly a third of all the ancient monuments left in the world are here. Spend a day on the east bank at Karnak — the biggest temple complex ever built — and come back after dark, when Luxor Temple is lit gold. Give the west bank another: painted tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's terraced temple cut into the cliff, and the two Colossi of Memnon out in the fields. A hot-air balloon at sunrise shows you all of it at once, and is the most photographed thing anyone does in Egypt.
