Overview
The world's greatest open-air museum, Luxor sits on the site of ancient Thebes. Cross to the West Bank to explore the Valley of the Kings where Tutankhamun was discovered, marvel at Queen Hatshepsut's magnificent mortuary temple, watch sunrise over Karnak's forest of columns, and take a felucca ride on the Nile as the temples glow golden at dusk.
Ancient Thebes with Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Nile feluccas.

Travel Tips
Important Tips
Valley of the Kings Timing
Be at the Valley gates when they open at 6 AM. By 7 AM, tour buses arrive. Those first quiet moments in the tombs are worth waking up for.
insiderGeneral Tips
Secret Tomb Worth Paying For
The tomb of Nefertari requires an extra ticket but it's the most beautiful tomb in all of Egypt. Limit of 150 visitors/day, so book ahead.
activityFelucca Sunset Magic
Negotiate directly with felucca captains on the West Bank (not through hotels). A 2-hour sunset cruise should cost 200-300 EGP total, not per person.
