First stop in Egypt - Luxor. Once the capital of ancient Egypt first under Montuhotep II of the 11th dynasty (2055 BC) when it was known as Thebes, modern-day Luxor has been described as an open-air museum. The Luxor Temple is located in the heart of town, right by the east banks of the river Nile. A few kilometers north along the river is the sprawling complex of the Temples of Karnak. Across the Nile, beyond the west bank, lies the final resting place of many of Egypt's pharoahs - the Valley of the Kings.
