The ruins of Karnak is something you must see. The pylons of enormous height will astonish everyone. walking through the avenue of Sphinxes will make you feel the Pharaon.
But never rush! Spend some time trying to visit every corner of the ruins. It's really worth!
The place makes you feel close to the rulers. Visiting their tombs reveals a piece of history.
Unfortunately to visit West Bank is more complicated than the East one. You must take a taxi or go there by bike.
Don't be also astonished by the number of soldiers standing in front of the tombs.
Near the Kings Valley you may also see the Carter's house the man who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb).
The temple built on three tarraced levels is very well preserved. It was raised by woman-king- Hatshepsut. But after she died all the signs of her rule were removed.
The place is very crowded! During a season you meet there a lots of tourists- coming here most often by taxi.
- Pros:All the precious relics "summoned" in one place
- Cons:too many people working in tourist business
- In a nutshell:Luxor- an enormous museum
