About Luxor

Luxor ligger, hvor det antikke Theben stod, med enorme templer på Nilens østbred og kongegravene i Kongernes Dal på den anden side af floden.

På østbredden breder Karnak-tempelkomplekset sig over hektarer af pyloner, obelisker og søjleskoven i sin store hypostyl-sal. En sfinksallé forbinder det med Luxor-templet i bymidten, som er særligt stemningsfuldt, når det er oplyst om aftenen. Luxor-museet og Mumificeringsmuseet ligger langs corniche ved floden.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
