A state of magic and beauty increases with the entry of the days of the winter tourist season in the city of Luxor, the capital of the ancient Egyptian civilization in southern Egypt, where large waves of travelers and tourists flock to Egypt travel packages to visit the archaeological monuments on the western and eastern shores, from the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir El-Bahri, and the tombs of the Valley of the Kings. And the queens, whose demand has recently increased significantly, herald a very special winter tourist season this year.

Tourism expert Mohamed Abdel Hamid Ibn Luxor says that the temples are witnessing a large tourist demand on Egypt tours from tourist groups coming from international capitals, amid distinguished preparations by tourism and antiquities personnel in Luxor for the winter tourist season and the momentum of the tourist movement, with expectations of an increase in the tourism movement and a large demand for Egypt Christmas tours during the coming weeks of the winter tourist season.

He also explained that the temples are witnessing a state of tourist demand from groups coming from the capitals of the world, from America, Canada, Germany, France, England, Macedonia, Spain, the Czech Republic, and other European countries, accompanied by their families, to enjoy the warm weather on those days while spending their Egypt family tours, in addition to the large demand from tourists from other countries. Asians flock to Egypt day tours in large numbers on those days, amid a state of joy among workers in the tourism sector.

He also added in his statements that Egypt luxury tours did not stop in the temples and cemeteries, but rather appeared in the streets of Luxor with Luxor day tours and foot tours of the Corniche and the shops and streets of Luxor to enjoy in their own way, stressing that the archaeological projects that were carried out over the past years contributed greatly to providing the best services for tourists coming from around the world, as the entrances to Karnak were beautified, and guidance signs were placed in different languages ​​to better serve the guests, in addition to the restoration and development projects that took place in Karnak, Luxor Temples, and the rest of the temples and tombs of the Western Bank, which led to a change in the image for tourists during their Egypt classic tours to the governorate during this period.

It was established in the heart of Mount Qurna, west of the governorate, to monitor the history and period of Queen Hatshepsut’s rule of Egypt.

These huge tourist Egypt group tours came with steps by antiquities men to open new tombs for tourists in the Valley of the Kings and Queens area.
