430 runners from 45 countries worldwide.
The
32nd Egypt International Marathon began in the ancient city of Luxor in
southern Egypt, according to a statement by local officials.
Specifically,
the run began from the historic Temple of Hatshepsut on the west bank of the
River Nile, an ancient historical site that dates back some 3,500 years to the
age of the pharaohs.
"The
Egypt International Marathon is one of the most significant events on the
annual tourism calendar of the governorate," said Hesham Abu Zeid, Luxor's
deputy governor, at the event.

is considered one of the main activities to attract more tourism to the ancient
city.
