Thebes is the capital of Boeotia in central Greece. This ancient city was one of Greece's most powerful city-states and home to the Cadmea acropolis. Visitors explore ruins of the Mycenaean palace, walk through the modern town, and visit the Archaeological Museum to see pottery, sculptures, and artifacts spanning multiple civilizations.
Thebes, known today as Luxor, is located on the east bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt, approximately 670 kilometres south of Cairo. It served as the religious and political capital of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom period and remains one of the world's most significant open-air archaeological landscapes, encompassing temples, royal tombs, and mortuary complexes on both banks of the river.
