During a hectic bike-ride through Africa, Lonely Planet author Scott Kennedy has a moment to contemplate the ancient ruins at Luxor. The Valley of the Kings does not disappoint but it's at the Temple of Karnak at dusk where he has his wow moment.
I went to Luxor last year, it really is an amazing city. There are 2 temples almost side by side, one with a small mosque built into one of the ancient temples. for any prospective traveller, take some time to go eat on the seaside restaurants, the food is pretty good.. 1 or 2 days is plenty to see the city and the surrounding sites (the Valleys, Queen Hatshepsut temple, Colossi of Memni, etc). Worth a stop.
Amazing!

Scott and Lonely Planet , if youre going to do this kind of thing.
Luxor is not a "small town" - its population is almost half a million
Valley of the Kings is not where all the kings and queens of Egypt are Buried , only the later period and you maybe heard of the Pyramids.
Cmon guys, its just lazy craft. Luxor deserves better.
