Luxor, nicknamed the City of the Hundred doors or the City of the Sun, is formerly known as Thebes. It is located on the banks of the Nile, which divides it into two halves, belonging to the fourth nome of Upper Egypt, on the eastern shore of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings facing it on the other shore.

These boats which will parade on the waters of the Nile, will participate in the celebration of the ancient “Festival of the Opet”, “heb nefer en Ipet”, during which the Amun-Rê of Karnak, accompanied by his wife Mut and their son Khonsu, were carried in procession to Luxor, where he took the form of Amon-Min.
