  6. Luxor Temple
    Pass by
    Luxor Temple, located on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor, is one of the most well-preserved and significant ancient Egyptian temples. Unlike other temples in Thebes, Luxor Temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead, it is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the pharaohs of Egypt were crowned in reality or conceptually.
    Then drive Back to the Hotel .
