Did You Know?
Luxor is sometimes described as the world's largest open-air museum, and Egypt has long claimed roughly a third of all the ancient monuments on Earth. Karnak alone covers about 100 hectares and was built and rebuilt over some 1,500 years.
The clock: Egypt keeps UTC+2 and reinstated daylight saving in 2023 after abandoning it in 2014. At Abu Simbel, further south, the sun still reaches the inner sanctuary twice a year — a calendar cut into rock.
