More about this tour
The city of Luxor is located on the east bank of the Nile River in southern Egypt. It is one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, with attractions that include ancient temples, tombs and monuments. The city is divided into two areas, the old town and the new town. The old town is where you’ll find the famous Luxor Temple and the Karnak Temple Complex. The new town is home to a large open-air market where you can buy souvenirs, clothes and other items.
The Luxor Temple was originally built during the reign of Amenhotep III in 1390 BC, and it was later enlarged and embellished by Ramses II. It’s dedicated to the god Amun-Re and is one of the most impressive temples in Egypt. The Karnak Temple Complex is even larger than the Luxor Temple and is dedicated to the god Amun-Re, as well as to other gods such as Osiris and Ptah. The complex contains a vast number of temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings.
