Luxor Destinations
The city of Luxor is located in southern Egypt on the east bank of the Nile River. It stands on the site of ancient Thebes, the capital city of the Pharaohs from the sixteenth to the eleventh century B.C.
Karnak Temple
The Karnak Temple complex was the most important religious complex in ancient Egypt. It was the biggest temple in the country, having grown larger throughout time as several pharaohs constructed additional structures and minor temples dedicated to other deities.
Valley Of The Kings
The Valley of the Kings is a vast valley sandwiched between two mountains that are lined with rock-cut tombs. During the New Kingdom, when Egypt's capital was Thebes (now Luxor), this used to be the burial ground for the pharaohs.
Hatshepsut Temple
Hatshepsut Temple honors Hatshepsut, the first woman to rule ancient Egypt alone for 21 years. This structure is one of the most rare ones among the ancient ruins and is split into three levels. The Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple is surrounded by mountains and is a well-enduring stone structure.
Colossi Of Memnon
