Luxor (Arabic: الأقصر ) is a city in
Upper (southern) Egypt and the capital of
Luxor Governorate. Its population numbers
376,022 (1999 survey), and its area is about
416 km˛ [1]. As the site of the ancient
Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor has
frequently been characterised as the
"world's greatest open air museum", the
ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and
Luxor standing within the modern city.
Immediately opposite, across the Nile River,
lie the monuments, temples and tombs on the
West Bank Necropolis, which include the
Valley of the Kings and Valley of the
Queens. Thousands of international tourists
arrive each year to visit these monuments,
their presence represents a large part of
the economic basis for the modern city. As a
result, Luxor represents an excellent base
for touring Upper Egypt, and is a popular
holiday destination, both in its own right
and as a starting or finishing point for
Nile cruises.
Unforunately we do not have properties in
Luxor at this time.
