A self guided audio tour of Luxor.
Walk through a city where ancient life still dictates the modern rhythm. Luxor, once Thebes, operated as a major capital of Ancient Egypt. Today, the massive ruins of Karnak and the Luxor Temple stand right within the residential streets. Cross the Nile to find the West Bank Necropolis, a collection of tombs and temples dating back millennia. This place functions as an open-air museum, forcing you to walk through the footsteps of pharaohs and priests who shaped civilization.
In the app, 97 stops in Luxor are narrated aloud, about 2h 45m of listening across 6 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 19 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
