Welcome to the Luxor Temple
In 2020 we took an all day excursion that combined both the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings.
The 2020 visit was our first chance to see any of the Temples, Monuments, Tombs etc and it was really fascinating and created the desire to return to Egypt, which we did.
In 2023 we got to spend a few days in Luxor including visiting the Luxor Temple again.
