Luxor was the capital of Egypt around 1500–1000 BC and has over the years seen astonishing numbers of palaces and temples built here. Because the structures were built of granite and sandstone, they still remain to this day. Among the “must-sees” are: the Luxor Temple, which dates to the Amenhotep III and Ramses II periods, the complex of temples known as the Karnak Temples, the Luxor Museum, the Mummification Museum — the first of its kind in the world —, the Funerary Temples and the valleys of the Kings and Queens.
