About Luxor

Luxor ligger där det forntida Thebe stod, med enorma tempel på Nilens östra strand och kungagravarna i Konungarnas dal på andra sidan floden.

På östra stranden breder tempelkomplexet Karnak ut sig över hektar av pyloner, obelisker och kolonnskogen i sin stora hypostylsal. En sfinxallé förbinder det med Luxortemplet i stadens centrum, som är särskilt stämningsfullt när det är upplyst på kvällen. Luxormuseet och Mumifieringsmuseet ligger längs kajen vid floden.

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