Luxor Temple is the most stunning of Egypt's ancient monuments. Standing at the center of the modern city of Luxor, on the east bank of the Nile River, unlike many of the more isolated temple complexes situated deep within the desert, Luxor is easily one of the most atmospheric, and accessible, sites in the world.
The Karnak Temple is one of the largest religious complexes to ever be constructed in human history. Located on the east bank of the Nile within the center of Luxor, Karnak is actually not a temple at all but rather a vast holy city developed over more than 2000 years of constant construction, modification and worship. Built mainly to honor the Theban triad of gods in general, and in particular the god Amun-Ra, the Karnak Temple complex has become the most popular and photographed ancient site in all of Egypt.
This wonderful archaeological site lies on the west bank of the Nile opposite to Luxor. Deir el-Medina is not another one of the amazing temples and tombs as it used to be an entire village, home to all the artisans and workmen employed in building and decorating tombs in the Valley of the Kings. In fact, it's the only site in Egypt which provides a glimpse into the life of ancient Egypt's workmen.
