Luxor
Thebes
- The City of a Hundred Gates - was the ancient capital of Egypt during
the New Kingdom. Today the city carries the name of Luxor and here you
can see on the East Bank, inscribed into the walls of Karnak and Luxor
Temples, how the Pharaohs lived their lives in service to the gods.
Then visit the West Bank and the Valley of the Kings to see how their
tombs were prepared to ensure their immortality in the afterlife.
You
should also visit the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and the gigantic
Colossi of Memnon. Whilst on the West Bank you can visit the Tombs of
the Nobles, the Valley of the Queens, Medinet Habu Temple of Ramesis
III, and choose from a whole host of other tombs, temples and sites
of antiquities to satisfy your quest for adventure and history.
Luxor
life passes by at a far more sedate pace than Cairo and after your visits
you can relax as you watch life go by, virtually unchanged since Pharaonic
times. No visit to Luxor would be complete, however, without a hot-air
balloon ride at dawn over the Great Theban Necropolis.
