  2. Visit the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings. This iconic site served as the royal burial ground for nearly 500 years during the New Kingdom period, from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. Carved into the cliffs of a desert wadi on the west bank of the Nile—directly across from ancient Thebes (modern-day Luxor)—this sacred valley is the final resting place of pharaohs and powerful nobles. Nestled within the Theban Necropolis, the Valley is home to some of the most beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt, showcasing intricate wall paintings and hieroglyphs that have survived thousands of years.

About Luxor

Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.

On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
