埃及——卢克索　  

   卢克索是荷马笔下的“百门之都”， 位于埃及中南部的尼罗河畔，在大约4000年前便已成为古埃及时代中王国和新王国的都城，古称底比斯。她如同一座巨大的露天考古博物馆，于 1979 年被列入世界遗产名录，许多闻名世界的古埃及遗迹均集中在这里。尼罗河将这座城市分成两部分，一半给生者，另一半则留给了死者。尼罗河东岸是当时古埃及的宗教、政治中心，集中了以卡尔纳克神庙和卢克索神庙为代表的皇宫和神庙建筑群；西岸则是法老们死后的安息之地，以国王谷和皇后谷为代表，向人们展示着底比斯城当年的雄姿以及古埃及文明的传奇。

     known as “the city of the hundred of gates”, luxor is situated on the bank of the river nile, south-central part of egypt. about 4,000 years ago,  luxor was the ancient city of thebes. it has frequently been characterized as the "world's greatest open air museum", as the ruins of the temple complexes at karnak and luxor stand within the modern city. luxor was designated as part of the unesco world heritage site in 1979. the river niles divide the country into two parts, the eastern part of the river was the religious and political centre of the ancient egypt, but the western part of the river was the resting place for pharaoh.
