Luxor (/ˈlʌk.sɔːr/ or /ˈlʊk.sɔːr/;Arabic:الأقصرal-Uqṣur; Egyptian Arabic: Loʔṣor IPA:[ˈloʔsˤoɾ]; Sa'idi Arabic: Logṣor[ˈloɡsˤor], Coptic: ⲛⲏ) is a city in Upper (southern) Egypt and the capital of Luxor Governorate. The population numbers 487,896 (2010 estimate), with an area of approximately 416 square kilometres (161sqmi). As the site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor has frequently been characterized as the "world's greatest open-air museum", as the ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor stand within the modern city. Immediately opposite, across the River Nile, lie the monuments, temples and tombs of the West Bank Necropolis, which includes the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. Thousands of tourists from all around the world arrive annually to visit these monuments, contributing greatly to the economy of the modern city.
Etymology
The name Luxor comes from the Arabic al-quṣūr (القصور), lit. "the palaces," from the pl. of qaṣr (قصر), which is a loanword from the Latincastrum "fortified camp". (Compare Alcázar of Seville)
Luxor is a game and series of tile-matching action puzzle video games, developed by MumboJumbo, with the initial release in 2005. The first sequel to this game was Luxor 2, which was released in 2006 and included new gameplay, levels and bonus. After that came Luxor 3, which featured seven gameplay modes and improved graphics. It was followed by Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife.
Gameplay
Luxor’s gameplay is similar to the games Marble Lines, Puzz Loop, and Zuma, in that it challenges the user to eliminate colored magical spheres by causing three or more spheres of the same color to collide. Players do this primarily by shooting additional spheres from a falcon which they guide back and forth along the bottom of the screen. When spheres are eliminated, nearby spheres which now form a segment of three or more of the same color will also explode in a chain reaction.
During gameplay, the on-screen spheres continuously move forward, pushed themselves by additional small scarabs. If any sphere reaches the player's pyramid, he or she loses a life and is forced to restart the level. If the player succeeds in eliminating a certain number of spheres without this occurring, new spheres cease to arrive and the level can be completed by removing those which remain.
Luxor is an open-source XML UI Language (XUL) toolkit in Java that lets you build desktop apps using markup (XML) and scripting. Luxor also includes a web server, a portal engine (supporting RSS), a template engine (Velocity) and more.
Luxor implementation is independent of the Mozilla codebase, though they implement largely the same specification of XUL.

Our full-time family travel journey started in 2019 when we had 3 kids under 5, a new minivan, and a whole house full of things.
With our eldest due to start school a few months later, we decided it was “now or never” to take an extended vacation and so we set off to explore the world - and be back in time for our son’s first day of school.
We were several months into our trip - and pretty charmed by the slow travel lifestyle - when the pandemic hit and schools around the globe shut down.
These events confirmed the idea that was already brewing in our minds - that there was no better classroom than the one our kids were already in - the world.
We sold the minivan, gave away everything that couldn’t fit in a suitcase, and became a full-time traveling family.

Luxor (/ˈlʌk.sɔːr/ or /ˈlʊk.sɔːr/;Arabic:الأقصرal-Uqṣur; Egyptian Arabic: Loʔṣor IPA:[ˈloʔsˤoɾ]; Sa'idi Arabic: Logṣor[ˈloɡsˤor], Coptic: ⲛⲏ) is a city in Upper (southern) Egypt and the capital of Luxor Governorate. The population numbers 487,896 (2010 estimate), with an area of approximately 416 square kilometres (161sqmi). As the site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor has frequently been characterized as the "world's greatest open-air museum", as the ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor stand within the modern city. Immediately opposite, across the River Nile, lie the monuments, temples and tombs of the West Bank Necropolis, which includes the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. Thousands of tourists from all around the world arrive annually to visit these monuments, contributing greatly to the economy of the modern city.
Etymology
The name Luxor comes from the Arabic al-quṣūr (القصور), lit. "the palaces," from the pl. of qaṣr (قصر), which is a loanword from the Latincastrum "fortified camp". (Compare Alcázar of Seville)
