Luxor Vacations, Luxor Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

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.
