1Luxor Temple
The Luxor Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city of Luxor. Built around 1400 BCE, the temple was dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. The complex is known for its grand entrance, the Avenue of Sphinxes, which leads to the first pylon and the massive Great Court. The temple also includes a hypostyle hall with 32 columns, several smaller chapels, and the Sacred Lake. The reliefs and inscriptions on the walls depict the triumphs of pharaohs and gods, as well as scenes from religious festivals and daily life. Today, the temple remains a popular tourist destination and a testament to the skill and artistry of ancient Egyptian architecture.
