Luxor
Luxor is a city in Upper Egypt and is known as the world’s greatest open-air museum. It was once an Ancient Egyptian capital and has given its name to the southern half of the ruins of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes1. Luxor is home to many ancient tombs and temples that are scattered along the east and west bank of the Nile River. Some of the most famous attractions include the tomb of Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings, the magnificent sunset views at the majestic temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor, and the Temple of Hatshepsut
Cairo
Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the city-state Cairo Governorate, and is the country's largest city, home to 10 million people. It is also part of the largest urban agglomeration in Africa, the Arab world and the Middle East: The Greater Cairo metropolitan area, with a population of 21.9 million, is the 12th-largest in the world by population. Cairo is associated with ancient Egypt, as the Giza pyramid complex and the ancient cities of Memphis and Heliopolis are located in its geographical area. Located near the Nile Delta, the city first developed as Fustat, a settlement founded after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 640 next to an existing ancient Roman fortress, Babylon. Under the Fatimid dynasty a new city, al-Qāhirah, was founded nearby in 969. It later superseded Fustat as the main urban centre during the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. Cairo has long been a centre of the region's political and cultural life, and is titled "the city of a thousand minarets" for its preponderance of Islamic architecture. Cairo's historic center was awarded World Heritage Site status in 1979.
