Luxor Temple
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Come at sunset and linger into evening, when the floodlights wash the sandstone in warm orange and the obelisk glows against the dark sky. Mornings before 9 a.m. keep the crowds thin and the paving stones cool underfoot.
Eelarvenõuanded
Entry is around 200 EGP for international visitors, and the Luxor Pass bundles this site together with nearby monuments for one flat fee. Carry small bills for optional extras like the modern restrooms or splitting a hired local guide with a few fellow travelers.
Soovitatav
History buffs, Photography enthusiasts, Sunset seekers, Archaeology lovers

Teave
Kiired faktid: Igal aastal vedasid preestrid pühasid paadikujusid mööda jäärapeadega sfinkside puiesteed, 2,7 kilomeetri pikkune rongkäik, et siin Opeti festivali tähistada. Üks säilinud obelisk kõrgub õuel siiani 25 meetrit, selle kadunud kaksik seisab nüüd Pariisis Place de la Concorde'is.
Esiletõstmised: Abu Haggagi mošee katusele ronimine avab keskaegse kupli, mis on tunginud otse iidsete sammaste otsa, nii et näed sajandite kaupa üksteise peale laotud Egiptuse kivitööd ja islami kaari. Samalt katuselt märkad rooma-aegseid seina-maalinguid soomustatud sõduritest, mille hilisemad usklikud maalisid otse vaaraode reljeefide peale.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Arrive at opening or just before sunset to dodge the midday tour buses that clog the pylon entrance.
- The Avenue of Sphinxes photographs best from the southeast, with the pylon and obelisk stacked behind the ram-headed figures.
- Wear sturdy shoes and carry water, since the gravel courts heat up fast and offer almost no shade.
- Skip the cramped inner sanctuary during tour rush and climb to the mosque-side rooftop for the widest views over the columns.
