Crossword Genius

It's in Egypt, or adjacent to Luxembourg (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

luxor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's in egypt' is the definition.
('Luxor' is part of 'egypt')

'or adjacent to luxembourg' is the wordplay.
'adjacent to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'luxembourg' becomes 'lux' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'or' after 'lux' is 'LUXOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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