    <triplocations name="Pyramids of Gizeh" description="The capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt has some extraordinary funerary monuments, including rock tombs, ornate mastabas, temples and pyramids. In ancient times, the site was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The pyramids and the Sphinx are illuminated during the hours of darkness. “Sound and Light” events take place in the evenings on the grounds south-east of the Sphinx. There can scarcely be a more spectacular backdrop for the production of the famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi than the pyramids of Gizeh. Every year in October, this spectacle attracts opera fans from all over the world. Information and tickets are available at every good travel agency. 
The pyramids of Gizeh, a creation from the fourth dynasty (around 2670 to around 2500 BC is probably the most significant point of interest in Egypt and one of the most visited locations in the country.  It is the most impressive and extensive of the six pyramid groups which extend along the edge of the western desert plateau for a distance of approx. 40 km. It is calm here only in the early morning hours. After that, numerous buses unload the visitors which are immediately surrounded by souvenir vendors, camel drivers and horse lenders. The methods for convincing tourists to take a ride around the pyramids are sometimes quite adventurous; a healthy portion of distrust will not be misplaced. The pyramids share their location to the west of the Nile valley, at the edge of the desert, and the massive build-up of mighty blocks of the limestone in the surrounding area  (particularly nummulite limestone) with an originally polished covering of finer white limestone or granite. In the interior, the more recent pyramids have a spatially relatively limited tomb chamber, a room for the cult of the deceased as well as rooms for tomb gifts. In early times, all of these rooms were subterranean. Furthermore, all pyramids share the access from the north and a cult temple on the east side to which an originally open, later frequently covered route leads up from the valley temple at the edge of the drop to the Nile. The famous parts:

The giant temple complexes of Luxor were part of the old Egyptian capital of Thebes, which extended from here far to the north, beyond the temple of Karnakand, with its necropolis on the western bank of the Nile, it reached far into the mountains of the Western Desert. cityIn recent years, Luxor, which lies on the right bank of the Nile in a wide depression, has been tidied up into an Egyptian “model city”: large, sometimes elegant hotels, banks, travel agencies and shops line the Corniche, the shore road which has space for walks in lovely shade, where felucca captains compete for passengers with the cheapest prices and carriage drivers try to tempt them to a more comfortable mode of travel. Visitors standing in front of the temple ruins have a view of the Nile, the lush greenery of the fertile land on the opposite shore, and the majestic backdrop of the western mountains.The present-day name of the city is derived from the Arabic “el-Ksur” (the palaces). It refers to the huge temple inside which parts of the town still stood at the end of the 19th century.

    <triplocations name="Luxor Temple" description="Like all Egyptian religious structures, it included chapels to the gods with their side rooms and anterooms, a large hypostyle hall and a colonnaded open courtyard to which a large colonnade led from the north.HistoryAmenhotep III chose the site of an older sanctuary to build the present sandstone temple. His successors expanded and altered it. Amenhotep IV had the images and names of Amun removed and a sanctuary for the sun god Aton built near the temple. When Tutankhamun transferred the royal residence back to Thebes, the walls of the colonnade were decorated with reliefs in which Horemheb placed his own name instead of his predecessor’s. The Aton temple was later destroyed, and under Seti I, the Amun reliefs were restored. Ramses II(Famous People), the great builder among the pharaohs, also enlarged the Luxor temple. He had a new colonnaded court built and replaced the old reliefs with new ones, but in particular, he built the great pylon, which increased the overall length of the temple from 190m/210yd to 260m/285yd. Since the pylon is not placed precisely on the central axis of the main temple, the axis has a slight deviation here. After Ramses II, the temple underwent only slight changes.
A beautiful end to the day is a visit to the Luxor Temple in the evening, when the setting sun bathes the monumental ruins in atmospheric light – until 9pm. The pylon of Ramses II formed the old main entrance. Six colossal statues of the king once stood before it, two seated and four standing. What remains is the western standing figure and the two seated figures, which have a height of about 14m/46ft. From the sanctuary of Alexander the Great, go left through side rooms to reach the birth hall.

Luxor is a treasure of temples and the Valley of the Kings, home to sweeping vistas and Tutankhamun's burial place. In Aswan, about 80 miles south of Luxor, the Nile flows through amber desert and granite rocks, around emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants. Across the Nile from Aswan is the Tomb of Aga Khan, who died in 1957.
