This place was incredible, we were going to go during the day, but I decided to ask my guide to take us at sunset. Best decision ever! It’s was incredible. Sometimes you have to use your imagination to see what the temples looked like thousands of years ago, but here you don’t need it. It was amazing see the light hit this incredible temple!!

Less impressive than Karnak Temple but the structures are more well-preserved. The temple is smaller and can easily finish walking within 1 - 2 hours. Do visit the Avenue of Sphinxes (inclusive in the ticket) beside the temple. It is a pleasant walk with two rows of Sphinx statues along the pathway. General admission is 180 LE in 2023. There is a gift shop outside the temple where I bought some higher quality souvenirs than from Bazaar. Surprisingly, there are charging much cheaper than other gift shops which I have bought from, especially in Abu Simbel Temple.

This temple is one of the major attractions in Luxor. A little smaller than Karnak temple but well preserved and looking at the gigantic columns and pillars one can only Marvel at the feat of engineering ancient Egyptians achieved at that time. Truly a temple dedicated to gods as it's made in huge proportion.

This is a smaller temple than Karnak which is at the other end of the Avenue of the Sphinxes. The First Pylon has some impressive reliefs and the papyrus-bud columns in the colonnade is wonderful to see. It's nice to see that they kept the mosque of Abu I-Haggag when they were doing the excavations.

Spectacular temple complex. You will probably need to go twice. One time to see it lit up — beautiful, but the crowds are so overwhelming that it is impossible to move inside. So go again in the early afternoon to actually appreciate this archeological marvel.

The history of Luxor and this temple specifically is very interesting. We had an excellent guide and would recommend that because there are lots of details to this temple that can be appreciated more if they are pointed out and explained. The temple has gone through many changes including four different religions over its history. There are remnants from every period including Roman paintings, Coptic vandalism, a sacred chamber for Alexander the Great, a mosque that was built on top of it and of course all the Egyptian features! There are signs in English near the entrance that explain the kings that contributed most to the temple and good signs for the nearby Avenue of Sphinxes explaining the excavation and history. The entrance cost is 180 Egyptian Pounds and you should expect to spend 1 to 2 hours here. They were having troubles with their credit machine when we went so it might save you some time if you brought cash. The best view of the Avenue of Sphinxes is here in our opinion too and you can walk halfway to Karnak Temple from here and the full distance if you have tickets to both temples. We went in the mid afternoon on a weekday and found that it wasn't crowded.

We were there late afternoon, so got to see it in daylight and lit in the evening, gorgeous. Most of the statures are now of Ramses 11. Originally built with replicas of leaders .... but when Ramses was in power - he had the faces changed to be his ! Ramses the chiseller ! Avenue of Sphinx's is impressive. Over near the avenue, there is a board showing the various rulers ..... wish I had taken a photo !

Luxor temple was a beautiful experience that truly impressed us. Built by Ramses II and partly by Alexander the Great, the detailed designs of the stone statues were amazing. I recommend this place anyone coming to Luxor

This majestic place is located near the Nile in the modern part of Luxor. We arrived there by motorboat. The temple was built by Amenhotep III (BC 1390-1352). It’s interesting that this temple was covered with sand for a long time and a village was built on top of it. That’s why it has survived in such good condition. It was discovered in XIX. century. We walked around and our guide told us its rich story. My favourite part was the obelisk, the counterpart of which is in Paris on the Place de la Concorde. It's all living history, I think it’s a must-see site.
