Overview
Luxor is home to a significant portion of Ancient Egypt's cultural heritage.
The construction of the Karnak Temple complex spanned over 2000 years. Each ruler added
new sanctuaries and tried to make them more luxurious than the previous ones.
The funerary temple of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, carved into the sheer cliffs in the form of three
terraced levels adorned with rows of statues and connected by ramps. Inside
the temple, colorful frescoes depicting gods and events from Hatshepsut's reign have been preserved.
The Valley of the Kings is the burial place of pharaohs on the left bank of the Nile. Here, between the hills,
dozens of tombs were excavated for rulers from different dynasties (from the XVIII to the XX dynasty – from the 16th
century BCE). The most famous tomb belongs to Tutankhamun, the last of the pharaohs in his dynasty.
