A visit to the area of Luxor is something you definitely need to take part in because with it offering an alternative range of ancient monuments. It is said that the area is like a living and breathing museum and when you stop off here, you will certainly see why.

There are a variety of attractions to see and this is the area when Howard Carter uncovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun – dare you take a trip to the tomb? A must for real historical buffs is a visit to the Valley of the Kings at Thebes which gives you the opportunity to see the final resting place of some of the greatest pharaohs that once reigned over the lands. Despite the size of Luxor, it is one of the most historically significant places in Egypt and if you feel brave to venture round, history will really come alive.

It is not just Pyramids that are waiting to be seen, why not do something really adventurous and take a hot air balloon trip above Luxor? When visiting, prices are given by request or you can contact the Magic Horizon Balloons Company for details of what could potentially make a great day out – if you’re not scared of heights.
