Overview
Luxor is often referred to as the "City of a Hundred Gates" or the "City of the Sun". It was formerly known as Thebes and served as the capital city of Ancient Egypt during Pharaonic times. Located on the banks of the Nile River, which separates it into two halves - an eastern and western side - Luxor boasts roughly a third of all monuments in existence across the world. Notable landmarks include Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, and more.
