City of the Dead
The small Egyptian city of Luxor can safely claim to be one of the most interesting cities in the world. It is here that many ancient sights are concentrated, for which thousands of tourists come to Egypt every year.
Tutankhamun ‘s Tomb
In the 70s of the last century, Moscow was gripped by unprecedented excitement: the treasures of Tutankhamun’s tomb were brought to the Pushkin Museum. Endless queues stood day and night, then not getting to the exhibition meant missing the first and last chance to see ancient luxury.
Valley of the Kings
Having heard the question “The most grandiose cemetery in the world?”, domestic tourists who have long chosen Egypt as a modern “All-Russian health resort” will not be confused and will answer: “Valley of the Kings”. And this will be the true truth.
Karnak Temple
The Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in ancient Egypt, unites a series of buildings that look more like a separate city than a temple. The Karnak temple began to be built around the 20th century BC. And after that, each pharaoh completed a part of the temple in one way or another.
Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is located on the right bank of the Nile, in the City of the Living. It is directly connected with the Karnak Temple complex. In ancient times, these two attractions were connected by an alley of 365 sphinxes. The alley has not reached the present day in its entirety, but it is gradually being restored.
Amon Ra Temple
The temple of Amon Ra is the main religious building of Ancient Egypt, it is located near the city of Luxor, in the village of Karnak (about 270 km from Hurghada). This territory was once the great Thebes — the capital of ancient Egypt.
Hatshepsut Temple
The temple of Hatshepsut occupies one of the most important places among all the sights of Egypt. This majestic structure is located at the base of the steep cliffs of Deir el-Bahri. The significance of the temple of Hatshepsut can be judged by the way it was called in ancient times — Jeser Jeseru.
Abydos Temple
The Abydos temple is of great historical value, tourists can be counted on the fingers here. Abydos is located at a decent distance from Luxor and Dendera, and therefore a trip to the temple is rarely included in the excursion package. And believe me, there is something to see here.
