Abstract

The research aims to investigate the virtual reconstruction of historical sites in Luxor through augmented reality technology. To achieve that, this research employed a method of descriptive-analytical methodology by using a questionnaire tool. Where a questionnaire was prepared and distributed to a random sample of 436 visitors to Luxor, whether foreigners or Egyptians. The results of the tools were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, coefficient analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis with the support of SPSS 25.0. The research results show a very strong positive correlation between the use of augmented reality at historical sites and the future of augmented reality at historical sites. The research recommended that the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities pay more attention to the studies and research that concern the usage of new technologies in cultural heritage sites.
