'african' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'resort's influx orderly to an extent' is the wordplay.
'to an extent' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LUXOR' is hidden within 'resorts influx orderly'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for luxor that I've seen before include "Egyptian city on the site of the ancient city of Thebes" , "City of Egypt" , "Nile town" , "Egyptian city sited on part of ancient Thebes" , "Egyptian city on the east bank of the Nile" .)
