2. The Temple of Hatshepsut, or the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, is a temple from the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt and the best-preserved of the temples built around 3,500 years ago at Deir el-Bahari in Egypt. It was built by Queen Hatshepsut on the west bank of the Nile opposite Thebes (the ancient capital of Egypt and seat of the Amun cult) (present-day Luxor). Hatshepsut's temple is distinguished by its unique architectural design, compared to the Egyptian temples built on the east bank of the Nile in Thebes. The temple consists of three successive floors arranged on open terraces. The temple was built of limestone, and limestone statues of the god Osiris and Queen Hatshepsut were beautifully arranged in front of the columns of the second floor. Originally, these statues were painted, but only a few traces of the colors remain. Some of the statues are in excellent condition, demonstrating the elegance and beauty of the temple's design.

3. The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386–1353 BC) from the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. The Colossi of Memnon depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III seated on his throne, wearing traditional royal clothing and headdresses typical of ancient Egypt. The statues are made of quartzite. The reason for their name, "Memnon," stems from a funny story: When the statues cracked in ancient Greece, especially the left one, they made sounds resembling sad singing due to the passage of air through the cracks. As the legend surrounding these two statues grew in importance, a Roman emperor decided to repair the cracks and fissures in the statues. Around 200 AD, the sound ceased forever. This phenomenon remained a long-standing source of interest for visitors and travelers to Egypt. The truth remains: these two statues are of King Amenhotep III, one of the kings of the 18th Dynasty, the most powerful ruling dynasty in ancient Egyptian history.

Its massive walls are decorated with hieroglyphic inscriptions that tell stories of victories and military battles.

About Luxor

Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.

On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
