Are you planning to spend one day tour in Luxor (or more)? But now you are unsure about the best things to do in Luxor? Then, you are in for a surprise: Ancient Thebes (how the city was once called) has plenty of tourist attractions to keep you occupied for a week!
No, I’m not joking. The city is as old as it gets, and many monuments from the time of the Pharaohs remain – some of them virtually unscathed. As there are so many stunning landmarks and UNESCO World Heritage sites, and it’s easy to get sidetracked, I compiled a list of the top places you have to visit in Luxor!
Let’s dive in the best places to visit in Luxor together.
1- Word’s cannot describe the beauty of the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut on the West Bank of the Nile. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful sights in Egypt, and certainly in Luxor.
Hatshepsut gained fame as one of the few Female Pharaohs in the long history of the ancient Egyptian kingdom(s). Definitely make sure to have a closer look at the many murals throughout the temple, where her famous expedition to the African kingdom of Punt is displayed.
2- Who hasn’t heard of Tutankhamen – the famous boy king who left us an unimaginable hoard of gold in its grave. Howard Carter discovered the lost tomb (KV62) in November 1922 and unsealed it only a couple of months later in February 1923.
3- The Karnak Temple complex is certainly one of the top tourist attractions in Luxor you really cannot miss. It’s so huge, it truly beggars comprehension. It also happens to be one of the most important temples in Ancient Egypt enjoy it during your Luxor Day Tours
4- Continue your Luxor Day Tour and enjoy The grand temple in Luxor sometimes called the “southern sanctuary”, is a must visit while you are in town. It’s not consecrated to a single goddess or cult but is rather dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and the royal Ka.
