The Nile plays a vital role in the life of Luxor and is the center of the city, around which life is organized. It is a tourist attraction on its own, with "feluccas", launches, and small sailing boats moored on its banks, as well as the larger boats that take tourists on trips that extend to the city of Aswan. It is also a vital artery for the city, across which people travel daily. On the West Bank of the Nile, you discover the Valley of the Kings, the ancient resting place of the Pharaohs and nobility, as well as the Valley of the Queens of ancient Egypt.

Entering the city of Thebes, the ancient capital, the visitor wanders between the paths of the capital of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Voices recount the great history of the ancient Egyptian kings and temples. Ancient history comes to life for you. These are just a taste of what awaits you in historic Luxor.
