Luxor

Luxor is often called the world’s greatest open-air museum, but that comes nowhere near describing this extraordinary place. Nothing in the world compares to the scale and the monuments that have survived from Luxor (ancient Thebes).

The setting is breathtakingly beautiful, the Nile flowing between the modern city and west-bank necropolis and Scattered across the landscape is an embarrassment of riches, from the temples of Karnak and Luxor in the east to the many tombs and temples on the west bank. A little planning will help you get the most from the magic of Thebes.
