Luxor stands as a testament to Egypt's rich Islamic heritage, featuring the magnificent Abu Haggag Mosque built within the ancient Luxor Temple complex, symbolizing the harmonious blend of Islamic and Pharaonic civilizations. The city houses several historic mosques including the 14th-century mosque of Yusuf Abu al-Hajjaj, a revered Islamic saint whose annual moulid celebration attracts thousands of pilgrims. Luxor's Muslim community maintains strong cultural traditions through centuries-old Islamic practices, Quranic schools, and the preservation of Islamic architectural elements that complement the city's ancient monuments.
