Rising gracefully from the cliffs, this 15th-century BC terraced temple fuses the beauty of nature with the brilliance of ancient architectural mastery. Walking through its grand halls, you can almost feel the presence of a queen who shaped history. These people really knew how to build.
Colossi of Memnon:
Pause to admire the Colossi of Memnon, two 18-meter-tall statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These ancient guardians have stood watch over Luxor’s West Bank for over 3,400 years, keeping stories of a bygone era alive and offering one of the most iconic photo opportunities on your Cairo Luxor Abu Simbel vacation package.
Stop for a delicious traditional oriental lunch at a scenic Nile-side restaurant before crossing to Luxor’s East Bank for your next highlight.
