Built originally in the Middle Kingdom during the height of Theban power, this huge complex was the most important temple in all of Egypt. Successive rulers built, destroyed, enlarged or decorated structures over the next 1,500 years. |

Luxor Museum is conveniently located between Luxor and Karnak Temples on Corniche Avenue. We simply walked there from our hotel. And I'm so glad we did. What a great place! If you've visited the temples and want an idea of what used to be inside, visit the museum. |
