Luxor in genrman/english language
Take a time trip with us in Luxor with a local English or German speaking guide.
Luxor is located in Upper Egypt, which is bisected by the Nile. Tourism accounts for 85% of the local economy, so we can say that today's inhabitants of Luxor - as well as servants of temples and tombs - make a living from it. I dare say, my many visits are not enough to explore Luxor, so this 1-day program is just a little taste of the wonder this place in Thebes can show us.
We begin our day in the temple of Karnak, which the ancient Egyptians called Ipet-sut, the Most Perfect Place. Even though it is in a dilapidated state, its remains offer a stunning view. It was built in several phases and every generation of rulers added something. The resulting complex of shrines, pavilions, pylons and obelisk is a huge stone-cast archive of history.
After lunch, the Valley of the Kings is our next destination. But before we reach it, we stop for a brief contemplation at the Colossi of Memnon. The two famous statue colossi (Colossi of Memnon) were carved from a single block of stone, 18 meters high, and in ancient times were famous for the northern statue making a bell-like sound at sunrise.
Arriving in the Valley of the Kings at first glance it is nothing more than a sunburned, barren valley between the steep-walled rocky mountains. Yet it is one of the richest archaeological sites on Earth. In the most glorious age of ancient Egyptian history, almost all the pharaohs were buried here, deep in the rock, in eye-catching tombs adorned from the floor to the ceiling with mysterious images of the afterlife. These underground chambers have been filled to the brim with treasures, and even though most of them have been looted since antiquity, it is tempting to think that perhaps there is still an untouched hiding place waiting to be discovered. Visit the alabaster workshop, it is also possible to buy.
Our last stop on an adventure in history is the Temple of Hatshepsut, whose location is simply amazing. The church is made up of a series of wide, gradually rising terraces, which at the top meet the limestone wall of the bay-like valley. The mystery of the temple stems in no small part from the person of Hatshepsut himself, who was the only female pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Finally, we get an insight into the mysteries of paper making.
