The Best Attractions in Luxor
Karnak Temple
You can find the largest temple complex in Egypt in Karnak, a village two kilometers outside Luxor. The remains of the impressive temple of the 12th Dynasty lie directly on the north bank of the Nile. Built under Sesostris I, the temple was continuously rebuilt and expanded until the Roman imperial era.
Luxor Temple
Located in the central city area of Luxor, the famous temple has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1979. The construction of the temple was completed around 1400 BC and it was dedicated to the god Amun, his consort Mut, and their son, the moon god Khonsu. Today, it is one of the main attractions of a holiday in Luxor.
Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is located about five kilometers northwest of Luxor. It is an ancient necropolis, a place where the rulers were buried in ancient Egypt. The total of 64 discovered, consecutively numbered tombs contain the pharaohs of the 18th to 20th Dynasties, including Pharaoh Ramses VII.
Colossi of Memnon
On the west bank of the Nile, not far from the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, stand the two mighty sandstone statues. The imposing statues, standing 18 meters high, were erected in the 14th century BC. They once formed the entrance to the largest temple ever built in Egypt for Amenhotep III.
Luxor Museum:
The museum on the Nile promenade gives you an overview of ancient Egyptian art. Exhibits include finds from ancient Thebes and the Luxor region, including the grave goods of Tutankhamun. A visit to the museum prepares you well for sightseeing tours to the cultural treasures around Luxor.
Valley of the Queens
South of the Valley of the Kings is the Valley of the Queens. Here you can visit the tombs of the queens of the 17th to 20th Dynasties. In addition to the rulers of that time, princes and princesses, along with precious grave goods, were also buried in the Valley of the Queens.
