The Timeless Treasures of Luxor

Luxor is mostly famous for its magnificent ancient Egyptian temples and the world famous tombs of the Valley of the Kings.

The Temple of Karnak, the second largest ancient religious site in the world, is such a popular attraction that only the Pyramids of Giza surpasses it in the annual visits of tourists. With its colossal pillars and enormous statues, this marvel of manmade ancient architecture is a wonder to set your eyes upon. The Luxor Temple is another mystery of ancient religious architecture worth visiting in this ancient city. Be sure to walk through the Avenue of Sphinxes, a long pathway aligned with statues of these ancient mythical creatures on both sides, that connects the Luxor Temple with the Temple of Karnak.

Another ancient site worth seeing near Luxor is the famous Valley of the Kings, a vast area in the desert in which Pharaohs and ancient Egyptian nobles were buried from the 16th to the 11th century BC. Walk into these ancient tombs and see the ancient artwork and millennia-old hieroglyphs painted and engraved into these ancient manmade caves.
