Luxor is a city located on the east bank of the Nile River, in southern Egypt.
Upon reaching the city you will find two great monuments: the Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak. Also, the tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens are very famous from this site.
These monuments correspond to the time when ancient Thebes used to be found in the current territory of Luxor, which was the capital of the Pharaohs during its heyday between the 16th and 11th centuries BC.
The vegetation of Luxor is located in the vicinity of the river, beyond it a large desert extends to both sides. Its climate is hot and dry and reaches quite extreme temperatures during the summer.
Luxor's peak season is February through May and September through November, during spring and fall, when you can find the best weather for touring the region.
