 Looking for a journey where ancient culture and modernity live side by side? Look no further. This journey will enable you to explore the oldest mankind civilization on earth while offering you a relaxing stay at the modern resort of Sharm El Sheikh. Built from the ruins of the ancient city of Thebes, Luxor was the capital of Egypt's New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC) and has been a top tourist destination since Greek and Roman times. The Valley of Kings is the necropolis, or city of the dead, that housed the tombs of the rulers of Thebes and is considered the world's richest archaeological site. Though famous as the burial site of young King Tut, it houses a number of other important kings, buried deep in serpentine tunnels bored into the hillsides. The Valley of the Queens, which includes the tomb of Nefertari, favorite wife of Ramses II, is also nearby, as are many other important temples and forts that have survived the centuries.
