DescriptionFlickr - Dave B - the luxor massacre.jpg
This is Deir el-Bahri (Arabic الدير البحري ad-dayr al-baḥrī), and it's exactly where terrorists from the Islamic Group and Jihad Talaat al-Fath ("Holy War of the Vanguard of the Conquest") massacred 62 people in 1997. Since then, Egypt's tourism industry went drastically down, until this day.
When entering the site, it is hard not to think of this story and and focus on the historic value of the site, as the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II.
