Egypt’s Golden Age commenced with Thebes, known today as Luxor, which lies on the eastern bank of the Nile. Homer referred to Luxor’s temples as, „El-Uqsor“, “The Place of Palaces”. From Ramses to Tut-ench-Amun…from Tutmosis to Hatschepsut...Egyptian rulers have bequeathed a priceless inheritance of monumental architecture.

Statues from the era of Ramses the Second, temples, necropolis’ – cities of the dead – hieroglyphics, sphinxes and obelisks…they’re all here in Luxor, the birthplace of modern Egyptology.
