Tourism in luxor
As tourism has been identified as declining in Luxor due to various political and economic issues, the sector is going through a period of revitalisation attempts. For example, the reopening of the Avenue of the Sphinx was an attempt to renew international interest in Luxor built heritage as part of a wider interest of the Egyptian government in encouraging tourism to Egypt.
Tourists can take cruises down the Nile from Aswan and Cairo to experience Luxor heritage, and witness the grandeur of the East and West Banks of the Nile. Air balloons have become a staple of the tourist’s experience in Luxor, where visitors have the opportunity to view the sites from above at sunrise and sunset.
