Named by the Greek poet Homer as “Thebes of the Thousand Gates,” Luxor was the center of power for almost 1,500 years. The name “Luxor” means “the palaces” in Arabic and reflects the city’s rich array of magnificent temples and tombs. During the 7th century B.C., the Assyrians invaded Egypt and left the city of Thebes in ruin. Happily, today’s “invaders” are visitors who arrive in Luxor to view the remnants of a truly magnificent civilization. Within the confines of Luxor are some of the grandest monuments of the ancient world. On the East Bank are the splendid Temples of Luxor and Karnak as well as the Luxor Museum, which houses an impressive collection of local antiquities. An overwhelming display of complex gateways, ruined temples, ancient chapels, gigantic columns and majestic obelisks, make the Luxor an extraordinary tribute to the ancient Egyptians. On the West Bank are the Valley of Kings and Valley of Queens, both profusions of historic and artistic wealth, where the Temples of Hatchepshut and Ramses II stand in magnificent contrast to the unmarked tombs of the pharaohs hidden underground.
