In Luxor Egypt
Luxor, a city in Upper Egypt is characterized as the ‘world’s greatest open-air museum’. This capital city
of Luxor Governorate is the site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Waset which was known as Thebes during
Greeks reign. This city of 100 gates is known as the religious hotbed of Egypt and features enormous
temples, rivers, a sprawling desert and the ruins of the famous Western Valley. It lures travelers from
across the world with its popular tourist spots. The best places to visit in Luxor Egypt include Luxor
Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings & Queens, and lots of popular sites that give a chance to
plunge in the glorious history of this ancient city.

The best time to visit Luxor is from October to April when the city experiences pleasant weather.
However, in the months of December and January, Cairo welcomes maximum tourists making it
uncomfortably crowded. If you want to minimize expenses, then planning an excursion to Luxor in June
and September will make you grab some amazing deals but daytime sightseeing will surely be difficult in
these months. One can check out the country’s coastal resorts during summers that offer some respite
from the scorching heat. If you are planning to visit Luxor between May to October then make sure to
avoid the midday heat by exploring the popular spots in early mornings.

The temple complex of Karnak is the most astonishing and magnificent tourist spot in Luxor. The temple
houses the Great Temple of Amun, the Temple of Khons and the Festival Temple of Tuthmosis III, within
its premises. The place represents the building activities of many successive rulers of Egypt. All the
monuments within the Karnak Temple are on a gigantic scale and one must spend a minimum of 2-3
hours to understand and explore the entire complex.

Luxor at night is, in a word, magical. As the sun sets over the West Bank, the moon rises to
bring the starry sky which glitters on the river Nile each evening. It’s effortlessly romantic and
you’ll have to pinch yourself to believe it.

There are plenty of things to do in Luxor at night. Once the evening begins, the sun-kissed
temples of  the day are lit up to dazzle you.

There are plenty of traditional Egyptian  restaurants to enjoy a tasty dinner and you can even
explore Luxor on foot and enjoy the cool breeze.

fear.
