Obelisk of Queen Hapshetsut,

Reviewed By WImom - Fond du Lac, United States

Would highly recommend this site! Parked in the parking lot but in order to board the included shuttle, you will need to walk through the "Valley of the Vendors." They are relentless in pursuing you, if you show an interest in their goods. There is no charge to take photos with your cell phone or regular cameras. Absolutely, there is no shade. Great to get a photo shot with the temple in the background before you investigate the interior. It is helpful to have a guide to explain things to you. Would recommend about 1.5 to 2 hours here. If you do or don't have a guide, it is helpful to read up on the temple before you arrive. It is an immense temple that rises amid the limestone cliffs, built about 1473-1485 BC.

Just loved the look of the sphinx all lined up one after another. Great photos taken here. Great Egyptian feel, makes you really think back into ancient times. Must see.

Corniche

Reviewed By DEK_29 - Brisbane, Australia

This road the runs the length of the Nile River for most of the city was been refurbished for years. It is clean with new gardens going in, a couple of green areas featuring memorials and new trees planted. i had seen the road in 2010 when they started the work on it and I was delighted to see the progress ten years later. i remarked to my driver that there were many changes since 2010 and he confirmed that the people of Luxor were proud of the beautification of the Corniche and other areas of Luxor. A number of monuments and museums lay along the Corniche including Luxor temple, Luxor Museum and the Mumification Museum.

10. Coptic Cairo

Cairo Egypt

Once known as the Roman stronghold of Babylon, Cairo’s oldest section is the ancient heart of the Coptic Christian community featuring five original churches, the first mosque built in Egypt and the oldest synagogue, all representing three of the major world religions.

Reviewed By 902stepheno - Cairo, Egypt

Once again I was fortunate to be with a group hosted by an excellent tour guide to show us around the Historic Religious Complex in Old Coptic Cairo. Our tour started at the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As before moving on to the Ben Ezra Synagogue and a vast collection of ancient Coptic churches including the famous Hanging Church. The architecture and the history associated with these places of worship were fascinating as it was inspiring. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Cairo.
