City Tour including Visit Luxor Museum – Abulhagag Mosque – Old Church – Urban Womens Centre

Información

This trip introduces you to some of Luxor’s sights that don’t date back as far as the Ancient Egyptian era. The first is Abu Haggag Mosque, which has actually been built on part of the pharaonic Luxor Temple. It was constructed when much of the temple was still underground and, today, it’s an important religious centre. You’ll move on to Luxor Museum next, which teeters on the banks of the River Nile. This place is much smaller than the famous Cairo Museum, but walking around the exhibits, you’ll notice their high quality and uncluttered style of display. There’s a pit-stop at one of the city’s lesser-visited Christian churches, as well as at the Urban Centre for Women, where local women are trained in things like pottery, embroidery and metalwork. Don’t forget to bring your wallets – trinkets and take-homes are really well priced here, and every penny raised goes back into the project.
