shore excursions to Luxor! Our Luxor Tours from Safaga Port and our Two Days Luxor Tour

Kingdom referred to Luxor as "Thebes," but the ancient Egyptians
called it "t-apt," which means "the shrine," because it was
the most significant religious centre of the Pharaonic dynasty. Later,
travellers from the Arabian Peninsula referred to Luxor as
"Al-Oksour," which means "site of the palaces." Finally,
Luxor gradually came to be known as Luxor.

an antechamber and a sunken sarcophagus chamber.

by the architect Senemut, the mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god
Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which
served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the
incomparable monuments of ancient time.

them on their way to the Valley of the Kings but it is worth a stop to see them
