Parks and Wetlands

Luxor’s landscape is defined by the intersection of monumental history and the fertile Nile Valley. This selection features UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Necropolis of Ancient Thebes and the massive Karnak and Luxor temples. Complementing these archaeological wonders are the region's vital wetlands and riverine basins, such as Hwd Qus and Hwd Al-Akhms, which support local biodiversity and represent the natural environment that has sustained the Nile's inhabitants for millennia.
