Luxor

"The mysterious Nile, that gigantic serpent that winds so fabulously, so ungraspably, back through history"

On the East Bank of the Nile, in the City of the living, Luxor and Karnak Temples greet the sunrise. The sunset on the West Bank throw shadows through the City of the Dead: the Tombs of the Nobles, the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut's temple. Today, you can walk through history; past statues with the heads of gods and animals, beneath pillars carved with lotus buds and papyrus. Ride in a horse-drawn caleche, sail in a felucca, take a sunset cruise or see the city from a hot-air balloon.
