Luxor, the land of pharaohs and ancient architecture, is famous to tourists from
all over the world. Though most of the tourists are mainly attracted to the sight
seeing and taking a tour across the Nile River, there have a major shift in the
likings of the people as they have a great time enjoying the entertainment options
that Luxor holds in store for them.
As you spend the whole day enjoying the beauty of the statues, the temples,
the monuments, have a superb time in the evening as you enjoy the folk music.
And the obvious place to enjoy this is the music clubs. As Egypt is the land
famous for its flutes and harps, enjoy the soothing music as the artists strike
one of the fascinating tunes. Learn more about the folk music that is an inseparable
part of the various celebrations in Luxor.
In recent years there has been a major change and there have been gradual
inclusions that have seen the western, Arabic and Turkish influences in the
characteristically folk music of Luxor. Sense the beauty of the Sawahii music
or the Bedouin music. Also do not miss the Saidi music that is typically based
on mizmar, the twin pipe clarinet.
In addition to the folk music, entertainment in Luxor is characterized by Nubian
art. Listen to their folk music that has undergone recent changes to adapt itself
to the latest cultural innovations. The Nubian art that has inseparable connections
with Egyptian art and civilization is something which is a must for every one
who is on to trip to Luxor. Get enthralled as you see the colossal statues or
the silver vessels. Or enjoy the dazzling collections of jewels and the fine
works of the ceramics. Recently as efforts have been taken to promote eco- tourism,
innumerable NGOs have come forward to help the locals. As the people of Luxor
suffer from immense poverty, efforts have been taken to sell the handicrafts
that they make in their households.
