About Luxor Illustrated, Revised and Updated: With Aswan, Abu Simbel, and the Nile by Michael Haag.  Introduction by Aidan Dodson and photography by Michael Haag.

Luxor Illustrated is a comprehensive, full-color guide to the monuments and landscapes of Upper Egypt. It explores the ancient city of Luxor (ancient Thebes), highlighting its major temples, including Luxor and Karnak, and its extensive necropolis with sites like the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut’s temple. The book also covers other significant Upper Egyptian sites such as Abydos, Dendera, Esna, Edfu, and Kom Ombo, and gives special attention to Aswan and the island temple of Isis at Philae. The guide culminates with the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel, featuring colossal statues of Rameses II and his wife Nefertari. 

Fully revised and updated by Egyptologist Aidan Dodson, this edition is designed to be a practical and informative companion for visitors to these historic sites.
