ANCIENT TERRAIN, FRESH FINDINGS: Luxor's west bank necropolis is to be relieved of what is almost a century-old encroachment upon its grounds. On Saturday, 3,200 families from Al-Gourna will be relocated to the Al-Taref city on Luxor's outskirts. They will be leaving their hometown to explorers who are bent upon unearthing not less than 100 ancient Egyptian tombs expected to be found there
