Luxor is
the first and most popular travel destination in Upper Egypt. The dynastic and
religious capital of Middle and New Kingdom, Luxor has been a great tourist
destination since the beginning of tourism, being considered the world's
greatest open - air museum. Luxor has much to offer to the travelers, from vast
temples, to ancient royal tombs, via spectacular desert and river scenery and a
bustling modern life.
During
the late Dynasties of the Greek and Roman, Luxor attracted tourists and has
been doing so ever since. Today Luxor is ready to welcome tourists with many
hotels, Nile cruises, restaurants and a tourism industry willing to serve
people from all the countries that descend on this region of the Nile Valley throughout
the year.
Among the most visited sites in Luxor are
the temples of Karnak & Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of
the Queens, in addition to Hatshepsut’s temple; "El Deir El Bahary"
which is one of the most popular temples in Egypt. Luxor has an international
airport serving both domestic and international trips carrying millions of
tourists coming to visit the city throughout the year.
The Nile
cruise is a desirable and preferred way to visit the city; you can enjoy the
Nile, visit the ancient temples & tombs and travel between Luxor &
Aswan on the Nile like the Ancient Egyptians.
