Luxor Temple

About the Site

Luxor Temple stands in the centre of the city on the Nile. Built mainly by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, it was dedicated to the renewal of kingship.

A huge pylon with seated statues of Ramses II and one obelisk (its twin stands in Paris) leads into courtyards of papyrus columns. The restored Avenue of Sphinxes runs nearly three kilometres north to Karnak.

Visiting tips

It is at its most magical after dark, when the temple is floodlit.
