About Luxor

Luxor sorge sul sito dell'antica Tebe, con vasti templi sulla riva orientale del Nilo e le tombe reali della Valle dei Re sull'altra sponda.

Sulla riva orientale, il complesso del tempio di Karnak si estende per ettari di piloni, obelischi e la foresta di colonne della sua Grande Sala Ipostila. Un viale di sfingi lo collega al Tempio di Luxor nel centro della città, particolarmente suggestivo quando è illuminato la sera. Il Museo di Luxor e il Museo della Mummificazione si trovano lungo la passeggiata sul fiume.
