around luxor

temple of habu, near luxor, egypt

we saw many sights of ancient egypt in the area around luxor, such as the temple of habu, the colossi of memnon and the valley of the kings. the valley of the kings is where many pharaohs were buried in extravagant underground tombs in one random valley out in the desert so that tomb raiders wouldn’t find them.
