Luxor is a city in Upper Egypt and the capital of the Luxor governorate. It is this glorious city located on the banks of the Nile River in southern Egypt! It has a population of about 600000 people and an area of about 417 square kilometres.
History of Luxor
During its long history, the city has had several names. Luxor derives its name from Arabic, which the Arabs call Al-Uqsur.
Thebes has a long history rooted back to the early development of Egyptian civilization. Luxor grew up in a small village when Memphis was the capital of ancient Egypt. Mount, the god of war, was worshipped in this city. However, the situation changed so obviously that Luxor became the capital of Egypt. Luxor reached its greatness in the 10th century BC during the New Kingdom. Luxor, then, knew the worship of the god Amun.
The city’s importance began as early as the eleventh Dynasty when the town became prosperous. The pharaoPerioduhotep II managed to unify Egypt after the troubles of the First Intermediate Period. There, the city became the new capital of this unified country. The military campaigns started from Thebes by the pharaohs of the New Kingdom. In short, from the 18th Dynasty until the 20th Dynasty, the city became ancient Egypt’s political, religious and military capital.
However, the city’s political and military importance faded during the Late Period, as Thebes Was Replaced by several capitals in northern Egypt, such as Popastis, Cisse, and finally Alexandria.
After 1811 AD, the year of the opening of the travel agency Thomas Cook, Luxor became a tourist destination. The city became a holiday area and bustle for the English rich.
Thousands of tourists worldwide visit these monuments annually, which significantly contributes to the city’s modern economy.
