Luxor, once a capital of Egypt and known as Thebes, is today the resting place for a majority of the Pharaoh of ancient Egypt. The Valley of the Kings contains some roughly 60 tombs of different Pharaoh over the ages, the most recent discovery being that of King Tutankhamun (King Tut). Although most the mummified remains have been moved to the Egyptian museum in Cairo, King Tut still rests in his tomb.
Luxor also contains the Colossi of Memnon, two larger than life statues built to protect a temple that is no longer standing. Also in Luxor are two ancient egyptian temples to gods of old. With the Nile river passing through the heart of the city,Luxor makes for a great location to take a cruise north to Cairo or south to Aswan.

Luxor, Egypt -›
Hi everyone :+)),
First of all, if you like this blog, plz leave a comment or a smile BECAUSE I WANT TO GET MY SECOND AWARD LOLLLLLL :+)), ok I am just kidding :)
Since I was a very young boy in school, I have been learning that Luxor constitutes 2/3 of the world's monuments, but I didnt have a chance to visit Luxor because it is in the very south of Egypt and so far from where I live (you will feel the distance if you are travelling from Cairo to Luxor unless you are flying) Until my ...

Today started SO early! I was up at 4 am and out the door by 4:30 am. First, we caught a bus and then a boat to the west side of the Nile and then another boat just next to the Valley of the Kings. We could see the hot air balloons slowly filling up and the sun was just starting to creep up over the horizon. So amazing.
It was a little scary at first to climb into the hot air balloon. The burners let off an incredible amount of heat and are quite noisy. Ou...

Our morning began rather early! Our guide Ahmed had told us he'd be picking us up at 7am and we'd want to get an early move on if we'd want to enjoy the day at our leisure without too much sunshine. And what was our day going to be about? The WEST BANK of the River Nile and the attractions around that area. The thing about Egypt is that most of the main attractions of the country are situated along the River Nile. Luxor is one city that has the fortune of containing many of these attrac...

It is very early morning and I wake up - it is actually a bit chilly this morning before sunrise - so I decide to actually use the sleeping back today. And go back to sleep for another couple of hours. Then it is sunrise and I wake up without much hope of going back to sleep. From where we are we can actually see the first temple of the day just a little bit further down the Nile on the opposite shore. The cook starts to make breakfast - and then suddenly the boat that pull up next to ...
