Dawn balloon ride over Luxor
Luxor is a city in Upper (southern) Egypt and the capital of Luxor Governorate. As the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor has frequently been characterised as the "world's greatest open air museum".
It contains ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor while Immediately opposite, across the Nile River, lie the monuments, temples and tombs of the West Bank Necropolis, including the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens.
A popular activity is a dawn hot air balloon ride across the city which affords spectacular aerial perspectives of all the ancient monuments, as in this gallery.
