Luxor

Situated in the Southern part of Upper Egypt, Luxor is the religious capital of the Middle Kingdom. Often described as the world's greatest open air museum, it is a small town by Egyptian standards. It is home to the incredible Valley of the Kings, the burial place of most of the pharaohs of Egypt, and has to be one of the most breathtaking sites in the world. The Valley houses the tombs of Tutankhamen & Ramesses VI, to name a few. Other must-see places are the Temples of Luxor and Karnak, to the Western Valley. All this is on either side of the River Nile, making Luxor the explorer's paradise.
