Top Descriptions
| Luxor Temple can easily lure one into Egypt's wonderful past. The avenue of human headed sphinx offer some well preserved relics, but it is the two, seated, Ramessess which remain at the entrance of the temple that instantly instil a sense of awe and anticipation. Though crumbled in places, the inside does have enough to capture most visitors’ imaginations and admiration; columns, statues and hieroglyphs. It may be smaller than nearby Temple of Karnak, but it is arguably no less impressive. – Sarah |

Top Tips
| There are bathrooms and guides at the entrance, should you be looking for either. |
| This site doesn’t offer too much shade, so consider carefully what time of day you decide to wander around as it can be incredibly hot. |
| If you want to take a boat over to the West Bank, walk around the outside of the temple wall until you meet the main road running parallel with the The Nile . The dock is on the opposite side of the street a few meters to the right and down some steps. |
