When one says Egypt, we can’t help but re-imagine the rich, enigmatic history and culture of this ancient country. Narrated against this very backdrop is ‘Luxor’, an entrancing atmospheric drama, set in the titular Egyptian city. Directed by Zeina Durra, the movie uses the neverending caverns and corners of Luxor as symbols to probe into the human psyche — about life, love, trauma, hope, and nostalgia. Packed with splendid performances and sweeping landscapes, ‘Luxor’ is spectacular, no doubt. Well, if you wish to watch the movie online, let’s check out if it is available on any streaming service currently.
What is Luxor About?
‘Luxor’ introduces us to Hana (played by Andrea Riseborough) who reaches the titular, 4,000-year-old Egyptian city — dotted with ancient tombs, massive stone walls, and sprawling cityscapes. She had witnessed the horror in war-torn Syria during her deployment as a medic in the country. She travels to Luxor to soothe her soul and heal her trauma. This is where Hana meets an American tourist named Carl (portrayed by Michael Landes), and an old flame, Sultan (essayed by Karim Saleh). What unfolds is a journey of hope and nostalgia — to go back to a time when things were simpler and happier.

Prime currently does not have ‘Luxor’ in its catalog. But it does have ‘Seven Years in Tibet’ — which is similar to ‘Luxor’ in terms of the spectacular landscapes. Set in the early 1900s, it follows Heinrich Harrer (Brad Pitt) who escapes from Dehradun (India) and enters Tibet, where he learns the ways of the holy city of Lhasa. You can watch the film here.

Where to Stream Luxor Online For Free?
Although ‘Luxor’ is currently unavailable on any streaming service, it might land on a platform in the future. But even if it does, it won’t be available for free. Several of the streaming services do offer free trials but you have to pay the subscription fee once the trial run is over. Anyways, we always recommend you to pay for the content you consume.
