2. The Luxor Temple, known as "ipet reset" (the southern sanctuary), was constructed around 1400 B.C. by rulers including Amenhotep III, Ramses II, and Tutankhamun. It features chapels built by Amenhotep III and Alexander the Great, and sections added by Tutankhamun and Ramses II.

   2 hAdmission included

3. The Sphinx Avenue, a 1200m-long and 6-10m-wide path linking Luxor and Karnak Temples, is a vital artery in Luxor. Its development and landscaping mark the initial phase of transforming Luxor's heart into an open-air museum and heritage district by enhancing streets and squares, respecting architectural character, introducing landscaping, segregating pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and partially pedestrianizing the street.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
