    Hot Air Balloon over Merneptah Temple

At it's peak Luxor (Thebes) had a population of around one million, and as a result boasts the largest and greatest concentration of ancoent monuments in the world. As the centre for the worship of the god Amun-Ra, ancient Thebes drew visitors from far and wide to its stunning setting with the Nile flowing through.

Cross to the West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings - burial chambers for the pharaohs, their queens and people of noble birth were cut from the soft limestone hills to protect them from looters. Nearby is the magnificent temple of Queen Hatshepsut, who was the only woman pharaoh to reign over ancient Egypt. On the East Bank take a horse-drawn calesh for your visit to the breathtaking Karnak Temple, originally constructed in honour of Amun-Ra.
