Luxor: Time with Shape

When thinking of Egypt, the first thing that comes to mind might be the pyramids, but when it comes to historical heritage, Luxor is an indispensable city in Egyptian history. Located on the banks of the Nile River, Luxor is a testament to ancient Egypt's splendor and rich history. Known as the world's largest open-air museum, Luxor is a treasure trove of archaeological wonders and cultural experiences. Egyptians say: "You haven't been to Egypt if you haven't been to Luxor." Indeed, Luxor has numerous tourist attractions, among which Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple are particularly worth visiting. They help you reconstruct history and gain a deeper understanding of Egypt. There you'll find the Avenue of Sphinxes, obelisks, colonnades, and many Egyptian hieroglyphics and carvings. Luxor Temple is much smaller than Karnak Temple. Early evening is the golden time to visit Luxor Temple, when the sunset shines through the stone pillars onto the temple, creating a beautiful scene with the interplay of light and shadow on the reliefs and columns. After sunset, the temple's lighting is turned on, presenting yet another beautiful view. A trip to Luxor would be incomplete without visiting the Valley of the Kings. This burial ground is the final resting place for many pharaohs of the New Kingdom period, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. Inside the tombs, you can see vibrant murals depicting the journey to the afterlife. The craftsmanship and artistry of these tombs are astonishing, with some still retaining their original colors. Be sure to visit the tombs of Ramses VI, Seti I, and Thutmose III to gain deeper insights into ancient Egyptian burial customs and beliefs. Finally, take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise to overlook the Valley of the Kings and welcome the first rays of sunlight from Luxor, Egypt. Luxor
