Like other temples, it also has tall stone pillars and dilapidated temples that look desolate, but what makes it unique is that it has two gates.

Just returned from Egypt and I want to share some heartfelt words with everyone....

👉【About Visa】👈 Egypt currently offers visa on arrival for $25 per person, cash only. Make sure to prepare in advance as they do not accept credit cards. If you really don't have cash, there are two banks next to the visa counter where you can exchange money. ▪️ 👉【About Travel Methods】👈 If it's a girl's first time visiting, it's best not to choose a self-guided tour. Although Egypt is generally safe, it's still easy to encounter scammers, and the chances of being overcharged for food, clothing, and other necessities are high. Moreover, Cairo and Luxor have many cultural and historical sites, and without a guide, you miss out on a lot of fun. It's recommended to choose a qualified travel agency for a group tour. If you feel that group tours are not free enough and the budget is higher, you can opt for a private tour. ▪️ 👉【About Sun Protection】👈 Make sure to do a good job with sun protection! Physical sun protection is best, but chemical sun protection is also necessary! Once you get there, you'll understand that the temperature is really high and the sun is really strong. If you're not careful, you'll get several shades darker (don't ask me how I know, sob sob...) ▪️ 👉【Recommended Attractions】👈 ★Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, Khan El Khalili Market ★Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple ★Luxor: Luxor Temple & Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings 👉【Recommended Itinerary】👈 D1 Arrive in Cairo Airport pickup, assisted by an English-speaking assistant to clear customs and get a visa on arrival Hanging Church, Saladin Citadel, Muhammad Ali Mosque, Khan El Khalili Market, Nile River night cruise D2 Cairo-Aswan Camel ride, Giza Pyramids area, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum (flight to Aswan) D3 Aswan Abu Simbel Temples, witness the thousand-year love of Ramses II and his beloved queen D4 Aswan-Luxor Philae Temple, Aswan Dam (drive to Luxor), Luxor Temple, carriage tour D5 Luxor-Hurghada Hot air balloon, Valley of the Kings, Colossi of Memnon, Karnak Temple (drive to the Red Sea) D6 Hurghada (Red Sea) Red Sea snorkeling day tour D7 Hurghada-Cairo ———— @Community Welfare @Ctrip Community Creation Center

Egypt is a nation filled with open-air museums everywhere!

Driving 500 kilometers from Cairo, you reach Luxor, where the attractions are divided between the East and West Banks. A must-experience is the hot air balloon ride at dawn, which only cost us a little over 400 RMB for two people, making it the cheapest hot air balloon ride in the world. After landing on the West Bank, you can continue to visit the Temple of Habu and the Valley of the Kings, which are very conveniently located. The main attractions on the East Bank are the Karnak Temple and the Luxor Temple. The Karnak Temple is the prototype for temple parkour, remember to go in the morning, or else the huge columns will quickly be out of light; the Luxor Temple can be visited in the afternoon and evening, as it is lit up at night, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Must visit Ancient Egyptian Temple

#2023TravelWish #vianasjourney #awesomepic We visited Luxor temple as part of our Nile cruise trip. The Luxor temple is one of the main attractions of Luxor and is located in the middle of Luxor on the east bank of the Nile. The impressive statues and structures definitely makes this place worthwhile to visit. I would recommend visiting the temple during the evening, as the temperature cools down a bit. The lightened up statues during the evening paint an beautiful image. From the Luxor temple it is also possible to take a close look at the Avenue of Sphinxes that connects Luxor temple with the Karnak temple complex.

Luxor temple

Luxor temple is located at Luxor city. There are many people to visit this temple (field trip for children, tourists and local people). There are many students who study about drawing and they are painting the structure of the temple. Their drawings are so beautiful and creative. At the entrance, you can see many birds (I guess they are pigeons) over there,so you can take picture while birds are flying. #mytripvlog #egypt #luxor

the Karnak Temple Complex

wow wow the Karnak Temple Complex, which is known as the Karnak Temple, is a group of temples, buildings and columns, where expansion and construction continued since the Pharaonic era, specifically the kings of the Middle Kingdom until the Roman era in Luxor in Egypt on the eastern shore. The temple was built for the divine trinity, Amun (Amun Ra in modern times), his wife, the goddess Mut, and their son, the god Khonsu; Each of them has a temple belonging to the Karnak temple complex. Sometimes tourists and non-specialists mean only the Karnak temple, the temple belonging to Amun i Amon Ra.#spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #infinitypool #mountainview

#history Luxor is the ancient capital of Egypt. The ancient Greeks called the city, spread out on the Nile, Thebes. This name was assigned to him in historical sources. Thebes was the capital of Egypt in the second millennium BC, after the era of the pyramids. Instead, the pharaohs and nobles built underground tombs and gigantic mortuary temples - they are perfectly preserved. Now Luxor is the main city of the governorate of the same name, that is, the region of Egypt. Its population exceeds 100 thousand people, but there are few tall buildings here, so the city looks more like a village. Private tours to Luxor from Hurghada and Marsa Alam cost 17,000-22,000 R, and this does not include entrance tickets to architectural sights. I spent a month in Luxor and will tell you how to save on a trip, see the highlights of the day and not give a dime to the countless and extremely aggressive tour guides and tour sellers - Luxor is known as the capital of molesting in Egypt. My itinerary includes the Temple of Karnak, the Avenue of the Sphinxes, the Colossi of Memnon, the Valley of the Kings, and the Temple of Hatshepsut. I marked their location on the map. You can walk part of the route, but in some places you will have to use public transport and taxis.

Temple of Medinat Habu - Luxor

Temple of Medinat Habu is a popular landmark which you should visit if you are in Luxor. The recommended sightseen time is between one to two hours. The temple is really well preserved and is a pleasure to see in person. It is more comfortable to visit this place in the morning or late afternoon as the weather is quite hot. Although it does not have so many visitors as other more famous sites in the area, having some quite time here is simply amazing. It is open to the public until 5:00 PM. #createwithtrip #egypt #luxor #habutemple

Luxor Temple

Luxor Temple is a popular and impressive temple which you should visit if you are in Luxor. Expect to spent between two to three hours in this site.

I strongly recommend to visit this place during the day and during the night time, the lights makes the whole place to look stunning. There is no need to hire a guide, however, if you are into egyptian culture and want to know more about the history beahind, then you might need one.

The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is a mortuary temple of Ancient Egypt located near Luxor. Built for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut. It is considered as one of the most beautiful of all of the temples of Ancient Egypt. It is located at Deir el-Bahri which is in the left bank of the Nile river. The king of Egypt had to build tombs and temples to honour the gods and pharaohs and keep their memories alive for all time. Queen Hatshepsut gave the order to build this beautiful temple. She took about fifteen years to build the temple, which told the story of her life. Bring plenty of water and expect to spend between 1 to 2 hours visiting this place. #createwithtrip #egypt #luxor #hatsheputtemple

This is Egypt

I was so happy to visit Egypt. This is the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut in Luxor city. It was built during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty. It is definitely HUGE and it was carved on the stones. 😱 The entrance fee cost less than 3 euros and you can go inside - unfortunately many os the statues inside were destroyed over time. Definitely worth the visit! #culturalattractions

Beautiful Karnak Temple in Egypt

It’s worth to book a trip to Egypt only to visit the Karnak temple. Its so awesome!!! It was great to be able to discover the history from this place. 👏🏻 Many pharaohs have been here.

You will forever remember the Temple of Karnak! #historicculture#summervacation

Ballon ride in Luxor/Egypt is a MUST

I was super scare about riding a ballon since I haven’t done it before but it’s a MUST. It is really cheap in Egypt comparing to other places in the world. We paid 60 dolares per person and it was amazing. It was completely safe. It is not scare at all! I’m usually scared about being high but I felt safe. Please ride a Ballon in your trip to Egypt. You can even see the Valley of the Kings, where they secret buried all the pharaohs. You will never forget it! #ancienttomb#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Baloon Ride - Luxor

There are no words to describe the view you get from up there. The baloon ride in Luxor is a must do. You do it at sunrise and the feeling is absolutely incredible. It was the best hour of our entire trip. We did with magic baloon company, and it was all fine. They pick you up at the airport and drive you to the boat ride before reaching the baloon. #luxor #baloon #sunrise #summervacation#urbanexplorer

Sofitel Winter Palace - Luxor

When in Luxor this is the place to stay.

I Booked this hotel with trip.com with great deal. #luxor #winterpalace #egypt #summervacation#hotelstay

#egypt #valleyofthekings #ballon Stunning view on Sunset over Luxor city, Egypt. Nile river, Hatshepsut temple and valleys of the Kings. Amazing experience!! Worth it to wake up 4am ❤️🖤

Luxor was amazing! The Valley of the Kings, Tut’s Tomb, and so many other sites to visit. I took a day trip from Hurghada and it was well worth the drive down and back. I’d suggest hiring a driver because roads outside of the main cities have there own “Egyptian driving rules” that foreigners aren’t familiar with like not using headlights at night. Definitely bring lots of water with you! #happynewyear #historicallandmarks #happynewyear

Amazing construction in 1000+ years ago without heavy machine available. This place is Karnak temple, big column is highlight for me. It’s very huge and still perfect now. There is the best place have to visit when you come here Luxor, Egypt.
