                <description><![CDATA[For its size, Luxor has more ancient historical sites than any other location in the world. The great temples of Karnak and Luxor are the main attractions on the east bank and should not be missed. These were once joined together by an avenue of sphinxes and are both dedicated to the ancient gods Amun, Mut and Knonsu.<br> <br>Karnak is one of the world’s most celebrated monuments: a vast complex of different temples built over 1300 years including the spectacular Hypostyle Hall with its 134 giant columns. It’s worth seeing in daylight (afternoon is less crowded) and at night with the sound and light show. It’s about 2.5km north of the town centre and can be reached by walking either along the Corniche before turning right when you see the sign for Karnak, or directly up Sharia El-Karnak. Alternatively, take a caleche or taxi from the centre. Entry is 40LE.<br><br>The impressive Luxor Temple is right in the centre of town on the Corniche. Entry is 30LE. The small Luxor museum just up the Corniche houses a number of interesting artefacts and will take an hour or so to cover and is probably worth visiting. Entry is 30LE.]]></description>
