Property in Luxor A city of central Egypt on the eastern bank of the Nile River and site of the Temple of Luxor, Luxor was once the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes and great capital of Egypt during the New Kingdom. Described as the "world's greatest open air museum", Luxor is a modern day city sitting on and around the site of the ancient city of Thebes. After the discovery of King Tutunkamun's tomb in 1922, the city became one of Egypt's largest tourist attractions, attracting thousands of international tourists each year and to this day the local economy is strongly dependent on tourism. Across the Nile and west of the city is the necropolis of ancient Thebes, which boasts the popular tourist attractions ‘The Valley of the Kings’ – the burial site of the Pharoahs and at least 60 Royal Tombs, ‘The Valley of the Queens’ – the burial site of amongst many Queen Nefertari and ‘The Colossi of Memnon’ – the site of the infamous statues. North of Luxor are the spectacular Temples of Karnak, a city of temples built over 2000 years ago which combines sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and obelisks, all dedicated to the Theban gods. In ancient times, Karnak was known as Ipet-isut, 'The most select of places' and was considered to be most important place of worship in ancient Egypt. The Temples of Karnak are believed to be the largest surviving religious complex in the world. Luxor is a new vibrant and cosmopolitan city that encompasses ancient history and monuments with a warm and tourist-friendly culture. It is fast becoming an investment hotspot with property investors worldwide. Enquire about Property in Luxor
