Further south lies another UNESCO World Heritage site, Ancient Thebes (the modern-day city of Luxor), where you can discover the beauty of ancient Egypt’s most sacred site, Karnak Temples, which comprises several majestic temples in one complex, located in the east of Luxor. Not far is also Luxor Temple, dedicated to the god Amun. On the west side, you can wander through the breathtaking Temple of Deir al-Bahari, also known as the Temple of Hatshepsut, surrounded by the rugged rock mountain. Hike through the Valleys of the Kings and Queens to explore the tombs that held the treasures of ancient Egypt’s pharaohs and their families, and peek into the past by examining vibrant and detailed wall paintings.
