Luxor Vacation Guide

Luxor, once a capital of Egypt and known as Thebes, is today the resting place for a majority of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Valley of the Kings contain some roughly 60 tombs of different Pharaohs over the ages. One of the most recent discoveries 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 may be visited for the more modest Valley of the Queens or Luxor Temple.

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, splitting Luxor in the east and west bank; Luxor makes for a great location to take a cruise north to Cairo or south to Aswan.

One may take the sleeper train Abela from Cairo to Luxor. Ferries, private feluccas, taxis, and carriages are plentiful in Luxor, as are touts and hawkers. Be aware of the intense heat.
