The Arab Republic of Egypt is rich civilizations and historical monuments may be the first country in the world with treasures and invaluable relics extend to seven thousand years, through the era of the pharaohs, Greeks, Romans and Christians until the present age, the date is no doubt it goes much of the science ex.
And may be called on Egypt (or lower) due to their historical value and scientific relations between the countries of the world, we can not review the entire history of Egypt, but content ourselves with the identification of one of the most beautiful historic cities, a city of Egypt (Luxor).






Historical value since ancient times





Did not know this city as Luxor only with the Islamic conquests, which was called by several labels over the centuries and different cultures that passed them, and which (Oyono - wax) no Sun City South as opposed to Sun City North (Ain Shams now), and (AST ) in the sense scepter mark the monarchy, and (no Amon), a name that you mentioned in the Torah, which means the city of Amon, and (Luxor) and made ​​the label after the Islamic conquest of Egypt, when he impressed the Arabs His Excellency palaces and Hmokh Srouhha, launching it this name, a  
 collection of word (Palace).
 
Despite the different labels that did not lose its status as one of the most global cities in the world in terms of wealth and cultural heritage.The Greek poet Homer mentioned when he said them: (there is good in Egypt, where piles of glittering gold, a good percent of the door, where it passes in a military gait, four hundred men Boukalhm and vehicles, from each section of the huge doors).This shows that since ancient times, the commercial city and the focus of attention of other nations.The administrative capital of Upper Egypt in the Pharaonic era of the Sixth Dynasty in the period between (3000 - 2100 BC)..Did not take its place as it is known that high, but in the late twentieth century atheist and BC, when the princes of Thebes was able to unite the country from the Mediterranean north to the south of the First Cataract, and when they came to Egypt the Hyksos invasions from the north.And united the Two Lands, Upper and Lower Egypt, and moved the seat of government to Thebes remained the more than four centuries.Remained shorter small village belonging to the city (Qus), the capital level after the Islamic conquest of Egypt, did not stop the aggression and sabotage its heritage but when it came (Napoleon Bonaparte) Vbehrth greatness of their effects and HH civilization and magnificence of its architecture, arts, after he had managed the French scientist (Champollion) of deciphering the hieroglyphics - Writing Nakecah the ancient Egyptian language - and since that moment, attracted attention to the city of Luxor, and highlighted the dilapidated temples, and continued despite the Luxor proud of incidents that have been throughout history have become today one of the major tourist cities in the world.

As long as I knew the city of Luxor as like a museum open where you can not take a hard look in any direction without being noticed a touch of historical value or monument heritage of the armies of the ages have passed, and although it is far from Cairo, 620 km south, there remains a store of ancient Egyptian civilization and the more than (800) and the shrine of the most fascinating archaeological and heirs of the heritage of Egypt human.Divided into shorter, in fact to the three areas there is a city of Luxor from the eastern side of the River Nile, the town crank, which lies north of Luxor, and Thebes, which lies on the western side of the River Nile and the interview of the city of Luxor is the ancient Egyptians called it the name (and AST).And tourism to this region are not new and has been identified as a hotbed for tourists since ancient Greek and Romanian, which saw the time the masses of them rush to the area to see the aesthetics of the region outpaced the effects of old.There are in Luxor are now three main ways are the Street Temple of Karnak and the Corniche Road and Station Road and the forks of the road network to aspects of the various city, and branches on the sides of these methods, many of the landmarks which was built by the city to receive tourists from different parts of the world you will find shops, coffee and major markets are sold antiques carved on the way ancient Pharaonic and some local fashion to the people of the region, with a population of nearly the shortest day of the 150 thousand citizens. It also notes that the government centers in the city were built on the approach Pharaonic such as the Egyptian national, and the police station, railway station, and it seems that the city authorities did not respond for this city to lose its authenticity and originality of civilization in the light of the revolution cultural developments of our time: She wanted to maintain the long history of the past and blended with the development of civilization in the form of a nice hug
