The Temple of Luxor is a must-see on any trip to Egypt. It is a testament to Egypt’s continuous history, starting from the 18th dynasty of ancient Egyptian rule to the 14th century AD, when a mosque was built in the complex to commemorate Abu Al-Haggag, who is responsible for introducing Islam to Luxor. Many pharaohs have participated in the construction of this temple over the years, including Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, Ramses II and Amenhotep III; if you walk through the temple, you can see the contributions of each of them, because usually you will find statues and images of them carved in the walls. The Romans and later the Christians also had an influence on the temple.

he temple of Luxor is incredibly rich in chronicles from the past. Check out the descriptions of the Battle of Kadesh, the accounts of the Opet Festival, the story of how Amenhotep’s mother III was impregnated by a god, and other stories told of the pharaoh’s exploits on the columns, obelisks and walls of the temples. Be sure to return to Luxor Temple at night to see the sound and light show. Ticket price(s): Regular: 50 EGP Student: 25 EGP
