The city of Luxor is known as the world’s largest open-air museum. Together with other prominent historical sites such as Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and the Value of the Queens it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

It is a place unique in its history, energy, with grand temples and ancient tombs scattered along the East and West bank of the Nile River.
