Luxor, a name that conjures images of towering pharaohs, hieroglyph-laden temples, and the golden gaze of the desert sun, isn't just a city – it's a living, breathing testament to millennia of history. Nestled alongside the majestic Nile River, Luxor, known in ancient times as Thebes, was once the beating heart of Egypt's New Kingdom, a cradle of civilization that left behind a legacy as awe-inspiring as it is enduring.
