A real mix of lots of different times in history present here. Imposing photo opportunities. Try to leave enough free time to sit back and soak up the atmosphere. Lots of working going on here so will return sometime in the future for great things.
There is an overwhelming amount of history to be seen here. So much to learn! We had a guide with us which was so incredibly helpful. There are many many stories that are carved and painted on the temple walls. We wouldn't have gotten nearly as much from the experience without our guide. Truly a must do if in Luxor or really just in Egypt in general!
Amazing- awe inspiring, humbling, i still cannot believe i took the same path as the ancient Egyptians. Our guide was incredible Mohamed El Aswany- his breadth of knowledge was incredible and he brought it all to life...just amazing.
位于东岸河边,从火车站步行即可到达,旁边有座清真寺。门票50埃镑,和卡纳克相比,此神庙规模很小,慢慢逛一小时也可以逛完,夜晚会有灯光,使壁画及雕刻呈现不同的颜色。由于卢克索神庙很多,为避免审美疲劳,这里可以夜晚打灯时候观看,是个不错的体验。
Interesting temple with varied styles from Greek, Romans and Egyptians. Tells some great stories and brings the history to life. Definitely use a guide.
Luxor Temple is predominantly New Kingdom in date. Two very special scenes are the Birth Scene of the king Amenophis III and the wonderful but now badly faded Opet Festival reliefs on each side of the colonnade. Luxor Temple too was a Roman garrison and the soft colours of the painting of the Emperors has been beautifully restored. The best time to visit is in the afternoon when the light is gentle. It can also be a wonderful time to see kites above the First Pylon which is where they nest.
13年夏天去的 热死 一路沿着尼罗河 游轮抵达卢克索 好大好壮观 好多俄罗斯人啊 呵呵 拍了超多照片 他们政府不太稳定的时候 我们过去哪一个景点都不用排队 太赞了
The incredible Luxor Temple dates from ca. 1392 B.C. Situated on the Nile, some of the spectacular sites are the Avenue of Sphinxes, the first pylon, Ramesses' statues, an 80 ft. (25 m) obelisk, courtyards, colonades, other statues, 14 huge, papyrus-topped columns, numerous other columns, shrines, a mosque, and much more. I was fortunate to visit in the evening, with the temple illuminated. The lighting actually seemed to accentuate the etched details. Luxor Temple is yet another example of the ingenuity and skills of the ancient Egyptians. Entrance to the temple is inexpensive. Entirely awe-inspiring, and highly recommended.
Very very cool temple with lots of panels and evidence of reuse through time. Bring a guide so you can decipher all the stories this place has to tell. There are contributions from pharaohs, emperors, and squatters alike, and some of it is just amazingly well preserved. So much to learn here, and so much art to simply admire. An absolute must-visit.
I remember visiting the Luxor Temple with my parents when I was 18. It was crowded there, as it was near all touristic sites in Egypt. Now people stay away, even though the riots happen in Cairo, 400 km up north.When I visited the Luxor Temple again in September there was nobody else there except for one young couple. We had the place all to ourselves and got the most interesting explanations and stories from our guide there. About the history of the temple and the struggles it faces today due to lack of tourism.
