Location of Luxor Governorate
Luxor Governorate is Located in Southern Egypt, 670 KM south of Cairo and 220 KM north of Aswan.
History of the Governorate
The city’s significance started as early as the 11th Dynasty when Luxor became the capital of Egypt. Besides, it became the glorious city of the god Amun. Starting from Amenhotep II, the unifier of Egypt, this city played a prominent political and religious role in the country. Notably, the glory of Luxor lasted long during the Pharaohs of the New Kingdom.
Later, Muhammad Ali, ruling Egypt in 1805, divided the country into directorates. At that time, Girga was one of these directorates in Upper Egypt. The Girga directorate had several cities, including Mishta and Qena, in the north; and Esna in the south. Accordingly, Luxor represented just a city in this directorate.
According to the new demonstrative division in 1960, Girga lost a significant portion of its southern territory. It was because another governorate (Qena) split from it. Once again, Luxor was just a city in this governorate.
In 2009, Luxor split from the Qena governorate to form a new governorate with the same name.
Administrative divisions of Luxor Governorate
- Qurna.
- Luxor (The capital).
- Armant.
- Esna.
- Also, Tiba.
Besides these central cities, Luxor has more rural and village divisions than these main cities.

Attractions in Luxor Governorate
Monuments on the western bank of the River Nile
Temple of Hatshepsut
The Memorial Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir El Bahari is one of the most prominent temples in Egypt. It stands on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, Luxor governorate. It is a semi-rock-carved temple. This aspect was unusual for that time. Indeed. The temple of Queen Hatshepsut became an absolute engineering marvel of the ancient builders. We consider it one of the most famous structures of ancient Egyptian architecture.
El Deir El Bahary hosts the impressive Hatshepsut temple, the only female pharaoh. Impressively, it rises out in the desert with a series of terraces. It merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it. It is the most beautiful and best-preserved of all Ancient Egypt temples.
Temple of Thutmose III
Deir el-Bahari is the home of the temple of Thutmose III. The temple sits on a rocky platform in the centre of the Deir el-Bahari Valley. Hence, it dominates over the other structures. The temples of Hatshepsut and Mentuhotep Nebhepetre surround the design itself.
These particular temples date back to the Eleventh Dynasty. Indeed, those temples, along with the temple of Thutmose III, form a splendid relic of ancient Egypt.
Valley of the Kings
Valley of the Kings is the place where magnificent tombs exist. Professionally, the Ancient Egyptians carved those tombs deeply into the mountain rock. Also, they richly decorated them and filled them with treasures for the afterlife. The Valley of the Kings accommodates tombs of ancient Egyptian kings, e.g., the tombs of great pharaohs Ramses II and Tutankhamun.
Temple of Amenhotep III
The Temple of Amenhotep III is one of the fantastic temples on the west bank of the Nile River in the Theban Necropolis, Luxor governorate. Amenhotep III, pharaoh of the Dynasty XVIII, built this temple about 1400 BC. Also, Colossi of Memnon: Two massive mono-stone statues of King Amenhotep III are the significant remains of a vast mortuary temple.
Monuments on the eastern bank of the River Nile
Temples of Karnak
Karnak Temple: It is the largest temple complex in the ancient world. Amazingly, it represents the achievement of many generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. Its old name is Ipet-isut, meaning “the most sacred of places.” Continuously the building of this complex temple lasted more than two thousand years. It comprises three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples on 247 acres. The great “Hypostyle Hall” is an incredible forest of giant pillars.
The time taken to build and develop Karnak is the crucial difference between it and most of Egypt’s other temples and sites. It took a long time to arrive at its final shape. Here, we are not talking about a single temple; but a complex of temples. As an ancient Egyptian temple, its construction started in the Middle Kingdom and continued to Ptolemaic times. Almost all the rulers of Ancient Egypt left their mark in this vast and colossal complex. In total, approximately thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings. This construction and renovation process has led to size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. It is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres! Additionally, it was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years.
Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is an Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River. It marks the ancient Egyptian city Thebes with its high columns and adds fame to the current governorate of Luxor. Amenhotep III (1390-52 BC) initiated the construction of this temple, but Tutankhamun (1336-27 BC) and Horemheb (1323-1295 BC) completed it. Finally, Ramses II (1279-13 BC) added his widely spread temple. At the same time, we can see a granite shrine toward the rear dedicated to Alexander the Great (332-305 BCs).
Amenhotep III and Ramses II dedicated the majestic Luxor Temple to the god Amun. The Temple of Luxor was the centre of the most important festival – the festival of Opet. This festival was to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with the divine office.

reviewed by Imtiaz AhmedI recently had an incredible adventure visiting Mount Sinai. During my trip, I saw many historical sites such as the place of the golden calf, Moses Well, burning bush, and St. Catherine Monastery. Hiking up Moses Mountain was quite a challenge as it stands at 2250m above sea level and requires starting the ascent at night. However, the African night sky was breathtaking, making the journey even more magical. The final 752 steps were the most difficult, but the sunrise at the top of the mountain made it all worthwhile. It was indeed an unforgettable experience.

reviewed by EmanIt was a long day, lasting for 26 hours, but the visit was definitely worth it. The guide in Jordan was excellent, and the program was designed to provide the maximum viewing experience. The lunch provided was also excellent. However, the Egyptian side was not well-organized, and we had to wait an hour on the road after hotel pickups for a disorganized guide. The ferry terminal was chaotic with security and passport checks, insufficient seating for everyone and unpleasant toilets. Nevertheless, the Jordan side of the trip was very enjoyable and will remain in our memories forever.

reviewed by SubhanI was fascinated by the Burning Bush, which turned out to be a massive tree associated with Moses. Additionally, there were some stunning architectural structures to admire. The displays of ancient texts and icons were meticulously documented and very captivating. I had a great experience at this place and wish we had more time to explore fully.
The mountains in Sinai are genuinely breathtaking. Along the coast, they're rugged and rocky with scarce vegetation. But if you venture to areas with more greenery and water, you'll come across authentic Bedouin villages. These are genuine Bedouins who live off the land, with camels and goats and improvised housing mixed with cinderblock homes provided by the government. It's not a Hollywood set but a genuine way of life.

reviewed by SaniaI must say that my experience was nothing short of amazing, and the package undoubtedly offered exceptional value for its price. It is worth mentioning that the camel ride to the other side of the pyramids and the River Nile trip were not included in the package, but they were absolutely worth the additional expense. Our guide, Surwat, was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the day.
