Luxor is in fact not one location, but three: under the name of Luxor you will find the city itself, on the east side of the Nile, the archaeological complex of Karnak only a short distance north of Luxor, and Thebes, which is on the west side of the Nile directly across from Luxor.
Even the contemporary city of Luxor has a pharaonic look to it, as much of its building was finished during the period of Howard Carter’s excavation of King Tut’s tomb.
In addition to the Mummification Museum, the city has another museum of local finds.
Luxor is the base for trips out to the Valley of Queens, Thebes, and frequent other temples and tombs.
