Luxor Temple

Description

Luxor Temple: The Jewel of the Nile at Sunset

Experience the magic of Thebes with AMOS Tours at the Luxor Temple. Unlike other temples dedicated to gods, Luxor Temple was built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II as a place of kingship and rejuvenation, where the Pharaohs themselves were crowned in the presence of the divine.

Highlights of Your Luxor Temple Visit:

• The Avenue of Sphinxes: Walk the final stretch of the 3-km road of human-headed sphinxes that has been fully restored to connect this temple with Karnak.

• The Colossal Statues of Ramses II: Be greeted by the massive seated figures of Egypt’s greatest builder at the temple’s entrance pylon.

• The Sun Court of Amenhotep III: Admire the elegant double row of papyrus-cluster columns that create a stunning play of light and shadow, perfect for architectural photography.

• The Sanctuary of Alexander the Great: See where the famous Greek conqueror left his mark with carvings depicting him as an Egyptian Pharaoh making offerings to Amun-Ra.

• Evening Illumination: Stay for the night-time tour when the temple is beautifully lit up, offering a romantic and mysterious atmosphere that is unmatched in any other ancient site.
