Luxor

In Arabic, Karnak means fortified village. This is a complex comprising corroded shrines, chapels, towers and other structures. It includes Karnak Open Air Museum, the second most visited site in Egypt.

Also known by the name of Djeser-Djeseru, this temple was built for Pharaoh Hatshepsut from the 18th dynasty, below the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the western banks of Nile.

Also identified as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, the construction in this area is over 500 years old, dating back to the 16th and 11th centuries BC. KV62 is the most famous tomb here, belonging to Tutankhamun.
