Luxor Temple
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
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.
Savjeti za budžet
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.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Svake su godine svećenici vukli svete lađe s kipovima niz aveniju sfingi s ovnujskim glavama, povorku dugu 2,7 kilometara, kako bi ovdje proslavili festival Opet. Jedan preživjeli obelisk još uvijek se uzdiže 25 metara nad dvorištem, a njegov izgubljeni blizanac danas stoji na pariškom Trgu sloge, Place de la Concorde.
Istaknuto: Uspon na krov džamije Abu Haggag otkriva srednjovjekovnu kupolu izravno naslonjenu na vrh antičkih stupova, tako da možete vidjeti egipatske kamenoreze i islamske lukove naslagane stoljećima jedna preko drugih. S istoga krova ugledajte zidne slike rimskoga doba naoružanih vojnika preko kojih su kasniji vjernici naslikali povrh reljefa faraona.
Insajderski savjeti
- 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.
