About Luxor

Luxor ergue-se no local da antiga Tebas, com vastos templos na margem leste do Nilo e os túmulos reais do Vale dos Reis do outro lado do rio.

Na margem leste, o complexo do templo de Karnak estende-se por hectares de pilones, obeliscos e a floresta de colunas da sua Grande Sala Hipostila. Uma avenida de esfinges liga-o ao Templo de Luxor, no centro da cidade, especialmente evocador quando iluminado à noite. O Museu de Luxor e o Museu da Mumificação ficam ao longo da marginal do rio.

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