A sunrise hot air balloon ride experience in Luxor will show you another perspective of world's largest outdoor museum. As you soar over the ancient city for some 45 minutes, you will see the historical sites of the Ramesseum - the funerary temple of Ramses II (1279-1213 B.C.), the restored mortuary temple of queen Hatshepsut (c. 1504 - 1458 B.C.), and parts of the Valley of the Kings. This a highly recommended add-on to your Luxor tour!

The Nile River split Luxor city into two parts, the east bank and the west bank.
The ancient Egyptian saw the sun sets at the west, that’s way they buried their dead generally at the west bank of the Nile and they call the west bank, the city of the dead.
The west bank of Luxor is a world away from the noise and bustle of Luxor town on the east bank. After you cross the River Nile, you are immediately in lush countryside, with bright-green sugarcane fields along irrigation canals and clusters of colorful houses, all against the background of the desert and the Theban hills. Coming towards the end of the cultivated land, you start to notice magnificent memorial temples were built on the flood plains, were the pharaoh’s cult could be perpetuated by the devotions of his priests and subjects, while his body and worldly wealth, and bodies of his wives and children, buried in hidden tombs in the hills.
The east bank is the location of Luxor town, the Luxor Temple, the Temple of Karnak, The Museum, Luxor International Airport, trains, bus to Hurhgada, hotels, restaurants. It is where most of the people live and work.
