Luxor is a must-see when traveling to Egypt. It is located on the site of ancient Thebes, capital of the pharaohs at the height of their power. It is built around two enormous ancient monuments: the elegant Luxor Temple and the Karnak Temple. The royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens are on the west bank of the river, as well as the Valley of Nobles, the Hatshepsut Temple, the Village of Artisans, and further south the Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples. .
