Luxor Temple
Waktu terbaik untuk berkunjung
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.
Tips anggaran
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.

Tentang
Fakta cepat: Setiap tahun para pendeta mengarak patung perahu suci menyusuri jalan sphinx berkepala domba jantan, sebuah prosesi sepanjang 2,7 kilometer, untuk merayakan festival Opet di sini. Satu obelisk yang masih bertahan menjulang setinggi 25 meter di atas pelataran, pasangannya yang hilang kini berdiri di Place de la Concorde, Paris.
Sorotan: Naik ke atap masjid Abu Haggag memperlihatkan kubah abad pertengahan yang terselip tepat di atas tiang-tiang kuno, sehingga Anda dapat melihat batu Mesir dan lengkungan Islam yang tersusun terpisah berabad-abad. Dari atap yang sama, lihat lukisan dinding dari masa Romawi yang menggambarkan prajurit berzirah, yang kemudian ditimpa oleh para penyembah di kemudian hari tepat di atas relief para firaun.
Tips orang dalam
- 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.
