Dina Tae

Lives in London, UK

Heya, my name is Dina Tae. I'm 29 years old from the UK, and half British and half Jamacian. At 21, I left my studies as a pediatric nurse to explore the world, first I lived in Thailand for 8 months and then New Zealand for 1.5 years before returning to the UK. Since then, I've continued to run away from the UK, having visited 33 countries. I created a travel website this year, foreverlivingyes.com, to help others explore the world, too. My style is Boujee but on a budget. I find amazing 4 or 5-star packaged holidays or hotels with a premium vibe but at lower rates. Finding these amazing deals usually takes hours and patience, but I'm here to offer my time to help you live your best YES too!

Top Areas to Travel to in Luxor and Why

Known as the world's greatest open-air museum, Luxor is a treasure trove of ancient Egyptian history and culture. With its towering temples, sprawling valleys, and fascinating relics, Luxor offers a journey back in time that's hard to beat.

Karnak Temple Complex

Standing as one of the largest religious buildings ever constructed, the Karnak Temple Complex is an awe-inspiring site. This sprawling complex is dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu and showcases centuries of pharaonic glory. The grandeur of the Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns is a highlight, providing a glimpse into the architectural prowess of ancient Egypt.

Valley of the Kings

Just across the Nile from Luxor lies the Valley of the Kings, a burial ground for pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom. Home to over 60 tombs, including that of the famed Tutankhamun, the valley offers an unparalleled opportunity to delve into royal ancient Egyptian life. Visitors are often left in awe by the intricate hieroglyphs and elaborate wall paintings that adorn the tombs, narrating tales of the afterlife.
