Port Description

Safaga (Luxor), Egypt

The legendary Nile splits Luxor, which occupies the old southern section of Thebes, the ancient capital of Egypt. The tomb of Tutankhamun, made famous during its museum world tour, has returned to its eternal resting place in the Valley of the Kings. The Karnak Temple Complex, known as "the most esteemed of places," humbles even the most avid modernist with its awesome size--Hypostyle Hall alone has 134 columns, with the highest one standing over 60 feet tall, and covers more than 15,000 square feet.
