Welcome to Luxor, a city steeped in ancient history and brimming with awe-inspiring wonders. Your journey commences at the Valley of the Kings, an unparalleled archaeological site that has captivated the world for its astonishing tombs. Carved into the desert rock, these majestic tombs, numbering 63 in total, were adorned with intricate decorations and treasures meant to accompany pharaohs into the afterlife. Ranging from simple pits to sprawling complexes with over 120 chambers, the valley stands as a testament to the grandeur and beliefs of ancient Egypt. Despite centuries of exploration, the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 suggests that hidden secrets may still lie within this remarkable valley.
