  Karnak Open Air Museum

  This renowned landmark in Luxor highlights the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture, with towering statues, massive columns, and what is considered the largest temple complex ever constructed—all located just minutes from the heart of the city.

  Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari

  The magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari stands as one of the most remarkable funerary monuments of the ancient world, rivaling the grandeur of the Pyramids. Built into the dramatic cliffs that face the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises in three grand terraces connected by ramps, each framed by rows of simple, square pillars. Named for one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs, Hatshepsut proudly called it the “Splendor of Splendors.” Although much of the site’s foundation dates back to earlier rulers—beginning with Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC—many of the original sphinxes and statues have disappeared over time, giving the temple a more austere, monumental feel. Inside, the cool stone halls provide relief from the desert heat, adorned with vibrant hieroglyphics and remarkably well-preserved wall reliefs that continue to tell stories from a distant past.

  Colossi of Memnon

  Though little remains of Amenhotep III's grand memorial temple, the two towering statues of the pharaoh that once flanked its entrance continue to stand proudly after 3,400 years. Visitors can now head to the banks of the Nile, just across from Luxor, to admire these massive statues up close. In addition to the impressive pair, two smaller figures of Amenhotep III’s wife, Tiy, and his mother, Mutemwia, are also on display. The sandstone panel carvings of the Nile god Hapy offer further insight into the artistry of the era. While much of the Colossi has been worn down by time and the elements, the site still evokes the grandeur it once commanded.
