  Luxor Temple

  Located closer to the city center and the Nile, this elegant temple was primarily used for the coronation of kings and the annual Opet Festival, rather than daily worship of a single god. Highlights: Colossal Statues of Ramesses II: Massive seated statues guarding the entrance. Obelisk: One of a pair (its twin now resides in Paris, France). Court of Ramesses II and Court of Amenhotep III: Impressive courtyards featuring beautifully carved columns.
