Luxor Temple
Najlepší čas na návštevu
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.
Tipy na rozpočet
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
Rýchle fakty: Každý rok kňazi ťahali sochy posvätných lodí po aleji sfíng s hlavami baranov, v sprievode dlhom 2,7 kilometra, aby tu oslávili sviatok Opet. Jediný zachovaný obelisk sa stále týči 25 metrov nad nádvorím, pričom jeho stratené dvojča dnes stojí na parížskom námestí Place de la Concorde.
Zaujímavosti: Výstup na strechu mešity Abu Haggag odhalí stredovekú kupolu vklinenú priamo na staroveké stĺpy, takže môžete vidieť egyptské murivo a islamské oblúky naskladané na seba s odstupom storočí. Z tej istej strechy si všimnete nástenné maľby rímskej éry zobrazujúce ozbrojených vojakov, ktoré neskorší veriaci namaľovali priamo cez reliéfy faraónov.
Insiderské tipy
- 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.
