About Luxor

Luxor se alza sobre la antigua Tebas, con enormes templos en la orilla oriental del Nilo y, al otro lado, las tumbas reales del Valle de los Reyes.

En la orilla este, el complejo del templo de Karnak se extiende por hectáreas de pilonos, obeliscos y el bosque de columnas de su Gran Sala Hipóstila. Una avenida de esfinges lo une con el Templo de Luxor, en el centro de la ciudad, especialmente evocador cuando se ilumina por la noche. El Museo de Luxor y el Museo de la Momificación se encuentran a lo largo del paseo junto al río.

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