Luxor Essentials

Explore the architectural legacy of ancient Thebes, spanning both banks of the Nile. The East Bank is anchored by the massive Karnak Temple Complex and the processional Avenue of Sphinxes. On the West Bank, the collection includes the terraced mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, the well-preserved reliefs of Medinet Habu, and the royal burial grounds of the Valley of the Queens. These sites, alongside the artisans' village of Deir el-Medina, represent the height of New Kingdom power and craftsmanship.
