Luxor Temple

Historic buildingsNight view
Opening hours: 06:00-20:00
TheresaXplore:“Luxor Temple is a must-visit for anyone exploring Egypt’s ancient wonders — a remarkably preserved open-air site in the heart of Luxor that reflects over 3,000 years of history. From the towering statues of Ramesses II to the Colonnade of Amenhotep III and the still-functioning Abu Haggag Mosque built atop the ruins, every corner blends ancient power with timeless beauty. 🎫Entry is 500 EGP (payable by card), and it’s best to arrive before the midday heat. If you're flying in from Cairo, a same-day trip is completely doable. 🚕Uber from the airport costs around 60–70 EGP, but taxis are more reliable when heading back — expect to pay 80–100 EGP. Plan for at least an hour to explore, wear comfortable shoes, and don’t miss the Avenue of Sphinxes at sunset.”

X-MAN-L:“It was quite hot, and there was no place to hide from the sun. I wonder how much manpower it took to dig out such a large-scale group of pharaoh tombs in such a difficult place thousands of years ago... It's worth a look, but to be honest, it's a bit expensive. The ticket only includes 3 tombs. If you want to see more, you have to buy more tomb tickets at your own expense, which is really not very user-friendly. The tombs are dry and painted with mineral pigments on the stones, so they are well preserved and colorful.”

X-MAN-L:“It is well worth a visit. The Karnak Temple is probably the largest existing temple in Egypt, at least the largest open-air one. It is well worth a visit to feel the imposing manner of the huge stone pillars.”

倩宝嘻嘻:“Egypt Trip - Nile River 15
When the taxi crossed this river that was familiar yet strange in my mind, what I saw was the Nanning Taoyuan Bridge. Isn't this the Yongjiang River? There are tall buildings on both sides of the river, some yachts are docked on the shore, and there are restaurants converted from houseboats.”

yangduoduo17:“It is relatively small in scale. It is said that there are animal mummies inside. I thought they were large-scale mummies, but in fact, they are not. The scale is far different from that of the Ebo Mummy Museum. This is just child's play and you can completely avoid coming.”

AricFong:“Renting a bicycle is good, you can stop anywhere and go anywhere [naughty] The mausoleum of Ramses III is also called the Habu Temple, and in the Coptic era, it was a city of considerable size [daze] and its area is second only to the Temple of Amun. It is the last large-scale construction project during the Pharaoh period and a monument to the last prosperous period of ancient Egypt. It was originally a royal residence. The first courtyard was a place for ceremonies and entertainment, and the second courtyard was occupied by churches during the Ptolemaic and Roman eras; in addition, there are three multi-column halls, and the tomb of Ramses III is on the left side of the second hall. The outer wall of the temple is engraved with a famous panoramic relief.

juki235:“Thebes is a large ancient Egyptian city on the banks of the Nile. It has a history of more than 4,000 years. Some places are still very well preserved. There is also a large cemetery in the ruins of the ancient city. Of course, these cemeteries have been excavated, but you can enter and visit them. They still feel very mysterious.”

长脸张少侠:“[Colossi of Memnon] are also called [Colossi of Memnon], and their positioning also says "Colossi of Memnon". They are two rock giants standing on the west bank of the Nile River in the wilderness between the Valley of the Kings. Originally, this statue was created by the New Kingdom. During the heyday of the era, Amenhotep III built two ordinary stone statues, but later generations heard the legend that these two stone statues could sing.
It is said that the one on the right side of the Colossus of Mennon emits an infinite and distant sound every morning at sunrise. Many travelers have said that they heard a sad and melodious song here. The ancient Greeks This phenomenon is related to the story of the capture of Troy.
However, scientists believe that this is actually a very common natural phenomenon. The sound occurs due to the sudden change in temperature from cold to hot at sunrise, and the heat generated by the first solar rays in the morning passes through the stone statues. body, making it emit the sound of stone, which caused the phenomenon that the stone statue could sing.
The name of the statue of Mennon comes from ancient Greek mythology. Mennon was a king in Greek mythology. He won the Trojan War, but was killed by the queen and her concubines. According to historical records, an earthquake occurred here during the Roman rule. , causing cracks to appear in the statue. Whenever the wind blows, the giant statue will make a sound like a person crying, as if singing a sad song.
Because the temple behind the statue had been completely destroyed, people could not study the true meaning of the statue, so they named the statue after the tragic Memnon in Greek mythology. Unfortunately, a kind-hearted Roman emperor ordered it to be repaired in 200 AD. The already dilapidated stone statue, from then on, the crying statue of Meng Nong no longer cried.
