Luxor International Airport (LXR) Maps: Important City Districts
A great way to get a real understanding and feel for this area is to take a cruise along the Nile. The city is roughly divided into two main districts, the East Bank and West Bank areas, either side of the River Nile.

In general, Luxor's East Bank region tends to be more developed and is home to a number of top five-star hotels. The best shopping areas can also be found in this district, while the West Bank area is noticeably more rural and consists of many small communities and businesses. Both districts are linked by a major bridge and regular river crossings, which are operated by local ferry services.
