General tips :
-The luxor temple itself
-The Karnak Temple
-The valley of the dead
-A trip to the temple of Dendera
-Abydos in the north and Esna or Edfu in the south

Luxor

Cruising on the Nile without barking in Luxor is not visiting Egypt.
Luxor, next to Aswan and the temple of Abu Simbel is the highlight of Egypt.
The Temples - the tombs ! Unforgetable !

A world of history

The Pylons - witness of time and glory in Egypt ! They are carved with episodes from the Battle of Kadesh when Ramses defeated the armee of Hittites

    Great page about one of the most interesting places in Egypt. I quite agree with you - the tomb of Tutankhamen is a kind of tourist traps. But I consider the collection of artefacts from this tomb in Cairo Museum as the trap as well... Thanks, Luc!
