About Luxor

Luxor ligger der det antikke Theben sto, med enorme templer på Nilens østbredd og kongegravene i Kongenes dal på den andre siden av elven.

På østbredden brer Karnak-tempelkomplekset seg ut over mange mål med pyloner, obelisker og søyleskogen i den store hypostylsalen. En sfinksallé forbinder det med Luxor-tempelet i bysentrum, som er særlig stemningsfullt når det er opplyst om kvelden. Luxor-museet og Mumifiseringsmuseet ligger langs kaiene ved elven.

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