Here is some information on locations of famous places of ancient Egypt:

Egypt shares its boundary with the Mediterranean Sea in the North, Sudan in the South, Israel and the Red Sea in the East and Libya in the West. Egypt has played a major role in transportation between the continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe due to its important geographical locations. The approximate land area of Egypt is 9,97,738 sq km and it is 1085 km north to south and 1255 km east to west.

Cairo offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure, culture, and nightlife. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan el-Khalili souk, (or bazaar) largely unchanged since the 14th century, to modern air-conditioned centers displaying the latest fashions. All the bounty of the East is here – particularly good buys are spices, perfumes, gold, silver, carpets, brass and copperware, leatherwork, glass, Ceramics, and Mashrabiya.

Luxor

Luxor has often been called the world’s greatest open-air museum, as indeed it is and much more. The number and preservation of the monuments in the Luxor area are unparalleled anywhere else in the world that we know of. Actually, what most people think of as Luxor is really three different areas, consisting of the City of Luxor on the East side of the Nile, the town of Karnak just north of Luxor and Thebes, which the ancient Egyptians called Waset, which is on the west side of the Nile across from Luxor

Egyptian temples were almost always located at a point of some religious interest, and most often oriented in the direction of another significant religious point. But depending on the god, or the location, or any other number of factors, the point of location and the orientation might be very different than even another nearby temple.

However, in a practical sense, the building was often located near a population center, heavily traveled routes, or necessary resources. For example, special resources were needed for the Osireion in the temple of Seti I at Abydos.

The original Temple of Osiris was built by Seti I, who came to power 29 years after the collapse of the regime of Akhenaten. Seti wished to restore the beliefs in the traditional gods and so built this temple to show his devotion. The way leading into the temple had two courts and a pylon, which was built by Ramesses II.

The way these courts and pylon were positioned gave the entrance the illusion of sloping upwards. Sadly, this entrance has been mostly destroyed. The front of the temple is now 12 rectangular pillars, covered with sacred images welcomingOsiris, Isis, and Horus.
