Plan language: EestiKui otsid things to do in Luxor, Egypt, alusta Karnaki templiga, maailma suurima templikompleksiga, mis on üle 100 hektari. Liigu Niiluse jõest edasi Valley of the Kingsi juurde, kus ootavad 63 vaarao hauda. Lõpetuseks Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut Deir el-Bahri, kus on kolm terrassiga sammastega.
Iidsed egiptlased ehitasid nii tohutu templi, et maailm imetleb seda tänagi. Jalutage 134 kolossaalse samba vahel, kus hommikuvalgus ja kivi säravad nii tugevalt, et unustate aja.
Kiired faktid: Peaaegu kaks tuhat aastat kestnud ehituse tulemuseks oli üksainus pühakodade kompleks, mida kujundasid rohkem kui kolmkümmend vaaraod. Hüpostüülisaalis seisab 134 kolossaalset kivisammast, suurimad on 23 meetri kõrgused ja nende ümbermõõt on peaaegu 15 meetrit.
Esiletõstmised: Peasaal on nii tohutu, et Rooma Püha Peetruse basiilika ja Pariisi Notre-Dame mahuvad sinna korraga ära. Hommikune päikesevalgus voolab läbi kõrgete aknaavade ja värvib 23 meetri kõrguste sammaste pinnad sügavaks oranžpunaseks, justkui oleks kivi ise elus.
Kiired faktid: Rohkem kui 60 vaarao ja kuningliku isiku hauakambrit on raiutud paljastesse kaljudesse, kuid täiesti puutumatuna leiti ainult Tutanhamoni haud, mille sees oli üle 5000 aarde. Suurim kompleks, KV5, avaneb rohkem kui 120 kambrisse ning teadlased usuvad, et veelgi rohkem haudu võib peituda oru all.
Kukkunud 19meetrine hiigelkoloss näitab vaarao titaanlikku suurust ja inspireeris ka Shelleyt. Püloni ülemised reljeefid ja hommikuvalgus näitavad meile vana Egiptust.
Kiired faktid: Inglise poeedi Shelley sonetti „Ozymandias" inspireeris õuel maas lebav hiiglaslik koloss, mis kujutas Ramsest II-t. Koloss oli kunagi umbes 19 meetri kõrgune ja ligi 1000 tonni raskune, pea oli ainuüksi 2,5 meetri pikkune.
Esiletõstmised: Kolossi pea, umbes 2,5 meetri kõrgune ja 7 tonni raskune, lebab siiani maas ning Shelley kasutas seda pead soneti muusana. Astronoomiline laemaaling, mis kujutab taevajumalanna Nuti, on püsinud peaaegu täielikult puutumatuna ligi 3000 aastat.

The temples are absolutely stunning but the May heat was brutal. Drink water constantly and take shade breaks. Still 100% worth the trip.
Book the hot air balloon through your hotel or at the launch area, not the big tour desks. We paid half the online quote.
Best falafel of my life for pennies at a street stall near the souk. Once you get past the sales pressure, the people are genuinely lovely.
Karnak at sunrise just hit different. Spent 4 days in Luxor and honestly could've done a week. So much to see on both banks.
Carry small bills and coins at all times. Vendors and taxi drivers always claim they have no change for big notes and pocket the difference.
