About Luxor

Luxor steht auf dem Boden des antiken Theben, mit riesigen Tempeln am Ostufer des Nils und den Königsgräbern im Tal der Könige gegenüber.

Am Ostufer breitet sich die Tempelanlage von Karnak über Hektar von Pylonen, Obelisken und dem Säulenwald ihres Großen Säulensaals aus. Eine Sphingenallee verbindet sie mit dem Luxor-Tempel im Stadtzentrum, der besonders stimmungsvoll ist, wenn er abends angestrahlt wird. Das Luxor-Museum und das Mumifizierungsmuseum liegen an der Uferpromenade.
