"Egyptologists Heaven!" Luxor by freya_heaven

Luxor Travel Guide: 1,593 reviews and 4,319 photos

The area in and around Luxor is an Egyptologists heaven.

The 3 areas of Luxor which tourists usually come here for are Luxor, Karnak which is a couple of miles away and Thebes on the West Bank of the Nile.

I really enjoyed rambling around the Temples & Tombs, and appreciated their majesticness (is that a real word? (~_~) )and work involved.
But I don't really know the exact history so I wont pretend that I really know what I am writing about. All the same I hope you enjoy my many photos...........................ENJOY

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Wonderful Temples & Ruins
  • Cons:Hassle
  • In a nutshell:Of course, you have to visit Luxor when In Egypt

    I can only imagine how it must be tip-toeing thru antiquity. I noted only two colors in some pictures, color of the ground and the sky! Green along the Nile... Great Pages, Nicola! ;-)
