Luxor

I've never been to Luxor, Egypt.

Modern Day Luxor is a great place to get a flavor of Ancient Egypt. It is known as the "world's greatest open air museum" because of its many ancient sites within close proximity. From Luxor, you can easily visit the Valley of the Kings, temple ruins and the Nile. It makes an excellent base for touring Upper Egypt.

Our word "luxury" comes to us from the magnificent city of Luxor. The palaces and temples were so extravagant that "luxury" has come to mean anything beautiful or grand.

That I'd like to see.

Egypt

I've never been to Egypt.

An ancient land filled with many wonders of the world to see. Pyramids, desert sands, the Nile River, the Sphinx. A land that once held captive the nation of Israel. A land filled with exotic mystery. A land which has been led by the likes of Ramses, Cleopatra and Tutenkamen. A land steeped in antiquity, and yet still very much alive.

That I'd like to see.
