Brush up on your hieroglyphics on holidays to Luxor and discover lost kingdoms and pharaohs' burial chambers.
Egyptian treasures span both banks of the River Nile in this historic desert city. Luxor - known as Thebes in ancient times - is home to the vast Karnak and Luxor Temple complexes packed with sphinxes, obelisks and stone gods.
