Luxor's Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings

 Luxor's Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings Famed for the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple, the town of Luxor has an amount of tourist attractions. It was the power base of the New Kingdom pharaohs, and home to more sights. After around 1500 B.C. the Pharaohs no longer built great pyramids in which to be buried. Instead, most of them were buried in tombs in the Valley of the Kings. There are over 60 tombs in the Valley of the Kings. They vary from small tombs that are little more than a large hole in the ground to very large tombs with over 100 underground chambers. The first Pharaoh to be buried in the Valley of the Kings was Tuthmosis I. Over the next 500 years many more Pharaohs were buried here. Historians and archaeologists have been fascinated through the colorful wall art of the tombs and the colossal columns in the temples. You cannot miss this experience.

Abu Simbel

 Abu Simbel Abu Simbel is something special. This is Ramses II's great temple, adorned with colossal statuary standing guard outside. In ancient times the area was at the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt, facing Nubia.  The four colossal statues of Ramses in front of the main temple are spectacular examples of ancient Egyptian art. By means of a complex engineering feat in the 1960s, the temples were salvaged from the rising waters of the Nile River caused by erection of the Aswan High Dam. Ramses II is remembered for his bravery and effective leadership over the Egyptian army.
