Luxor, Egypt | Karnak Temple on the East Bank

January 2024 Luxor is divided into the East Bank and the West Bank by the Nile River. The bus station, train station, and airport are on the East Bank, which is more prosperous, while hot air balloons are on the West Bank, which is more residential. The main attractions on the East Bank are Luxor Temple, Luxor Museum, and Karnak Temple, all of which can be reached on foot, by INDRIVE, or by a white minibus for 2.5 Egyptian pounds. Karnak Temple is one of the most famous temples in Egypt. If you've seen the movie "Death on the Nile," then the columns in Karnak Temple will be familiar to you. If you have limited time, head straight to these columns when you visit Karnak Temple.
