Visiting Luxor was like stepping back in time. The sheer scale of the Valley of the Kings left me in awe. My guide, Mohammed, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history come to life as we explored the tombs of the ancient Pharaohs. The highlight was definitely seeing Tutankhamun’s tomb—something I’ll never forget. The evening boat ride along the Nile was a peaceful end to each day, and I recommend it to anyone visiting. Luxor is a must-see destination for anyone interested in Egypt’s ancient history, and I’ll cherish the memories forever.
