A unique city of a mystically old and interesting character. In the past, it inspired the Greek poet Homer that he couldn’t but immortalize it in his Iliad:

Not all proud Thesbes’ unrivalled walls can contain
The World’s great Empress on the Egyptian plain;
That spreads her conquest o’er a thousand states
And pours her heroes through a hundred gates.

Today it is hosting a large amount of preserved monuments; the complexes of Karnak & Luxor temples, the Ramseum, the City of the Dead on the west bank of the Nile where the valleys of the kings and queens are still the home to the mysterious tombs of the Pharaohs -among whom is the famous King Tutankhamun – in addition to Luxor museum and other awe-inspiring monuments.

Nowadays Luxor is colorful with its rich green plains of cultivated lands framed by a bold range of yellow mountains and grey shadows on the horizon
