[2025 Luxor Attraction] Travel Guide for Luxor Temple (Updated May)

Catch the afterglow of the sunset at the Luxor Temple in the evening🥰🥰💕💕💕 I like to take pictures of the majestic pillars from the bottom up with the blue sky and white clouds👍 Souvenir shops in Egypt sell postcards of spectacular sacred pillars against blue sky and clouds, which are of great commemorative value. The most confident seated statue in the picture is Ramses II. Egyptians often say: If you haven't been to the Luxor Temple, you haven't been to Egypt. The Luxor Temple is a testament to Luxor's glorious past. Opposite the gate of the Luxor Temple, there are two rows of spectacular sphinxes. This is the direction leading to the Karnak Temple. In ancient times, festivals were held every year, starting from the Karnak Temple and heading towards the Luxor Temple. This was the most grand event in Luxor. The faces of many pharaoh statues in the temple were scratched and damaged because the conversion to Christianity was an attempt to destroy people's worship of the pharaoh. The wall in the last picture of this article has Christian portraits. In order to make people believe in Christianity and stop worshipping the pharaoh, Christianity tore down the murals on this wall and replaced them with Christian murals, in order to promote Christianity and preach in Egypt. Luxor Temple is also translated as Luxor Temple. Luxor was formerly known as Thebes (the capital of the New King period of ancient Egypt), also known as Wassat. It is located on the east bank of the Nile River about 500 kilometers south of Cairo, which is equivalent to the south-central part of Egypt. It was built around the 14th century BC. It took about 1,900 years for several generations of pharaohs to build it, and was mainly dedicated to the three gods of Thebes. The Egyptian government is currently digging a three-kilometer road from the Luxor Temple in the south to the Karnak Temple in the north, and is very much looking forward to the two temples being able to connect directly. It also enshrines the three gods of Thebes, Amun (the sun god 🌞), his wife the war goddess Mut, and their two children, the moon god Huns. According to legend, every year when the Nile River is high tide, the three gods of the Karnak Temple will come here by boat to accept the worship and offerings of the people. This temple is oriented from north to south and is relatively long and slender, but not as large as the Karnak Temple. The main part of the temple was built by Amenhotep III, and Alexander the Great visited it until the Greek era. The only things left of the Luxor Temple are the thick walls on both sides of the gate. On the outer walls there are reliefs of Ramses II fighting the Hittites, and on the inner walls there are paintings of festive sacrificial scenes. There are two 25-meter-high obelisks in front of the Luxor Temple, one of which was given to France in 1836 and now resides in the Place de la Concorde in Paris. At that time, France presented Egypt with an alarm clock, and it was still broken when it received it❗️It was really a treasure divided among the great powers😢😢 Recommendation: The best time to visit Luxor is in the evening near sunset when the weather is cooler and the temples are lit at night, creating a beautiful and moving scene.

Friends, you won't believe it! On this trip to Egypt, I discovered a hidden gem that's so breathtakingly beautiful, I just have to share it with you! Itinerary - Day 1: Arrive in Cairo in the morning and take a taxi to the hotel to check in. After a short rest, take a taxi to the Egyptian Museum. The museum houses a vast collection of artifacts, including the real Tutankhamun gold mask! You'll need at least 3 hours to fully explore this treasure trove of history. - Day 2: Charter a car early in the morning to the Giza pyramid complex. The pyramids truly live up to their reputation as a world wonder; the sense of awe is overwhelming. Spend half a day there, taking photos and soaking in the history. In the afternoon, visit the Sphinx and admire this ancient statue up close. - Day 3: Take a train to Luxor and take a taxi to your hotel upon arrival. In the afternoon, visit Luxor Temple. The architecture of this temple is magnificent, and 2–3 hours is just the right amount of time to explore it. - Day 4: Charter a car to the Valley of the Kings, the burial place of numerous pharaohs. Visit different tombs and uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt. After half a day of exploration, return to Cairo. Highlights The grandeur of the Giza pyramid complex speaks for itself. Standing before them, you'll marvel at the smallness and greatness of humanity. The murals in the Valley of the Kings, still vibrant after thousands of years, tell the stories of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. It's truly a paradise for history buffs. My favorite hidden gem is the White Desert. The white rocks, eroded by wind and sand, have formed all sorts of fantastic shapes, like mushrooms and castles. At sunset, the entire desert is bathed in gold, a breathtakingly beautiful sight. Food Recommendations Abou Tarek in Cairo is a must-try! Located near Tahrir Square, their koshari is simply divine. Noodles, rice, legumes, tomato sauce, and crispy fried onions create a symphony of flavors and textures in every bite. Another recommendation is Sheikh Ali in Luxor. Their signature roasted pigeon is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, bursting with aromatic spices. Accommodation Experience In Cairo, I stayed at a hotel with pyramid views. The location was fantastic, with a direct view of the pyramids from my room. Waking up to the sunrise was an unforgettable experience. The hotel was clean, and the staff was very helpful in arranging various itineraries. In Luxor, I opted for a local homestay to experience the local culture. The homestay owner was kind enough to share various travel tips, making it a great value for money.

When I set foot on the ancient land of Egypt, the mysterious atmosphere swept me into the torrent of history. When I walked into the Luxor Temple, the huge stone pillars towered into the clouds, with complex hieroglyphs and mythological patterns carved on them. The sunlight shone down, and the shadows of the stone pillars crisscrossed the ground, like the veins of time. These buildings, which have been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, still tenaciously tell the glory of ancient Egypt. In the Valley of the Kings, I explored the tombs where the pharaohs lay. The exquisite murals on the walls depict their achievements in life and their prayers for the afterlife. But when I stood in front of these magnificent tombs, I felt a little melancholy. The ancient Egyptian civilization was so brilliant, and the pharaohs spent their lives pursuing eternity, but they were eventually buried by time. I used to drift with the tide in the secular standards, pursuing those seemingly dazzling but actually empty goals. Now, I understand that life is short, and there is no need to be obsessed with illusions. In the days to come, I will cherish the present, and feel every moment of life purely, just like I am immersed in the history of Egypt at this moment. - 🗺️[My itinerary] Day 1: Arrive in Cairo and feel the unique atmosphere of the city, where ancient and modern intertwine.

Experienced the Inca and Mayan civilizations Finally, I also appreciated the historical and cultural charm of ancient Egypt during the pharaonic era. Luxor is a city more worthy of spending a few more days than Cairo It is worthy of being the old capital of Egypt📸 Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple, Temple of Queen Hathor, Colossi of Manon... Sail on the Nile River🚢 All this shocked me too much I can’t imagine how people in ancient Egypt transported huge stones from Aswan to Luxor along the Nile River🛕 Murals and seal cuttings, ancient Egyptian civilization is really fascinating~ The summer temperature in Egypt is as high as 45 degrees, so it’s still right to travel in winter 😂 The itinerary to Luxor is divided into east and west routes, each taking about half a day. In order to save time, we took the full-day itinerary of the East Route + West Route Very fun! Every place is worth seeing Admission to the Luxor Temple closes at 19:30 and does not close until 20:00 This time is very friendly to tourists~ But now in this season, it gets dark in Egypt after 17:00, so it’s better to go early. In addition, you can also take a hot air balloon ride in Luxor, in the Valley of the Kings~

1. Recommended attractions: Pyramids: The pyramids have stood the test of time and remain magnificent. They are one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the most mature representative of ancient Egyptian pyramids. Luxor Temple: There are many temples in Egypt, and we visited more than one, but I think Luxor Temple is the best! The carvings on the dome, walls, and stone pillars are well-preserved and exquisite! Desert starry sky: In Siwa, watching the stars and sunset in the desert is a romantic experience. You can choose to go on the first evening, so you have more flexibility on the second day. Sahara Desert: We didn't have time to see the sunset and starry sky in the desert. Our guide said he would take us to some niche places. Near the footprint site, we saw a wild rabbit. We were so excited that we shouted and forgot to take a photo. - 2. FAQs: 1. Egyptian pound exchange rate: I left Egypt on April 15, and the exchange rate was 1:6.5. There is no black market exchange rate now! 2. Tickets: Only Visa cards are accepted. If you don't have one, try to find a Chinese person to help! Don't ask locals to avoid unnecessary trouble! 3. Language: The built-in Apple translator is very useful! Google Translate is also an option. 4. Safety: I personally feel quite safe. Female travelers are advised to find a companion. After all, there are good and bad people everywhere. It's always good to be cautious. - 3. Tips for avoiding scams: ✅ If you don't plan to buy anything from the people selling souvenirs in scenic areas, don't respond to them or pay attention to them. These people are very persistent and hard to get rid of. ✅ There are many traps when riding camels at the pyramids. The price you agreed on may be increased halfway through or the other party may change their mind. They are very likely to go back on their word, so it's best to find a reliable person to negotiate the price. ✅ Some people will approach tourists in the name of helping them, being very enthusiastic and even speaking a few words of Chinese. Don't trust them. ✅ Never act alone, as many scammers will take advantage of the opportunity. Dress conservatively. Traveling in a group can greatly reduce the risk. ✅ Hotels in Egypt are not as good as those in China. They may be rated five stars, but the facilities are old and the towels and tissues are rough. Be sure to bring your own. ✅ Hotels in Egypt are not as good as those in China, but the five-star hotels we stayed in on our group tour were all good. Especially in Cairo, we stayed next to the pyramids. We could take photos with the pyramids at breakfast without the crowds. The location was great! The hotel also had a large garden, which I really liked.

#DesertTravel #100TravelWays 🍂 "Luxor" is the former capital of ancient Egypt. It was prosperous and this place should be called a temple more than a temple. It is located next to the Nile River, the main river of Egypt. In the exhibition area, you will see the ruins of the temple, roofs, pillars, both complete and ruined. 🌳 "Luxor Temple" was built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III but was completed during the reign of Pharaoh Rameses II. You will see the statue of this pharaoh and Queen Nefertari in this temple. 🐪 The highlight of Luxor Temple is the pair of obelisks, but now you can see only one in Paris, France. The Egyptian government gave France 2, but because of their magnificence, size, and weight of 230 tons at that time, it took 6 years to transport/move/install... In the end, France accepted only one in the "Place Dela Concorde" square. 🍁 This temple can be visited both day and night. At night, there will be beautiful lighting decorations (recommended at night because it will be very hot during the day) 🍂 Entrance fee: 400 egp ⏱️ Opening and closing hours: 6.00 – 20.00 hrs.

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.

#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 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

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. The temple is really well preserved and is a pleasure to see in person. 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. Local tour guides are abundant and not too expensive. One advantage is that this place closest very late. It is open to the public until 9:00 PM. #createwithtrip #egypt #luxor

Luxor Temple is located in the heart of Luxor's urban center, adjacent to a mosque and a bustling square where locals gather for picnics, children play, and pigeons are fed. The lively atmosphere is filled with constant chatter and movement, creating a vibrant scene. To avoid the risk of choosing a disappointing restaurant, the McDonald's across from Luxor Temple became our safe backup option. Plus, its second-floor windows offer an excellent view directly facing the temple, providing a unique vantage point. Luxor Temple was constructed during the 18th and 19th dynasties of ancient Egypt, primarily by two pharaohs: Amenhotep III and Ramses II, both of whom were frequent contributors to the temple's architecture. The temple's main entrance is the Avenue of Sphinxes, which connects Karnak Temple to Luxor Temple. During annual festivals, people would carry golden boats from Karnak Temple along this avenue to Luxor Temple, celebrating the Nile's floodwaters that brought fertility to the fields. Statues of the gods would also join the procession, allowing worshippers to pay homage and offer prayers. The first pylon was built by Ramses II, and unsurprisingly, this narcissistic statue enthusiast placed his colossal figures in front of it. The walls behind them, as usual, depict his military conquests and heroic achievements. Little did he know that these imposing statues, meant to showcase his power and authority, would be eroded by wind and sand over millennia, buried in dust, and even become perches for birds. The towering obelisk standing at the entrance was meticulously carved from a single block of granite to commemorate Ramses II's 30th year of reign. Obelisks were traditionally erected in pairs, and the matching counterpart to this one now stands in Paris's Place de la Concorde. In 1836, the Egyptian ruler gifted it to King Louis Philippe of France as a diplomatic gesture, receiving a clock in return—now housed in Cairo's Saladin Citadel. Beyond the first pylon lies the Courtyard of Ramses II, flanked by two rows of columns. On the opposite wall, Ramses II placed his own colossal statue alongside Amenhotep III's original statues, along with figures of his 17 sons. Following the colonnade deeper into the temple, two 6-meter-tall seated statues of Ramses II mark the exit of the first courtyard. The sides of their thrones feature exquisite reliefs depicting two Nile gods binding papyrus and lotus together, symbolizing the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt. Next, we enter Amenhotep III's domain, starting with a row of towering columns. Though not as awe-inspiring as those in Karnak Temple, they possess their own unique beauty, especially when sunlight filters through, adding a mystical ambiance. Further in is Amenhotep III's Sun Court, a gift to the god Amun, surrounded on three sides by tall papyrus columns. It's said that the court transforms into a different spectacle when illuminated at night—unfortunately, we missed that experience. Luxor Temple has much more to explore, but due to time constraints and our growing fatigue from temple architecture and stone carvings, we concluded our visit rather quickly.

Luxor is an amazing travel destination even at night. Staying at Iberotel Luxor, the view of the Nile River from the balcony was completely different from the daytime. The reflection of lights on the gently flowing water was serene and beautiful, like a scene from a movie. The faint lights across the river and the passing boats added to the picturesque scenery. After dinner, I took a walk to Luxor Temple, which is less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The temple, softly illuminated, had a mysterious and enchanting atmosphere that surpassed its daytime charm. It was quiet and not crowded, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the night of Egypt. The route was easy to enjoy without a guide, making it perfect for couples or solo travelers who love peaceful walks. The combination of the Nile River night view and a stroll to Luxor Temple made Luxor's night truly perfect. Iberotel Luxor's location is ideal for daytime tours and nighttime scenery, making it a must-try itinerary when visiting Luxor. Location: Iberotel Luxor & Luxor Temple, Egypt

During my trip to Luxor, I stayed at Iberotel Luxor. Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations for the accommodation, but as soon as I opened the window and saw the Nile River view, I was immediately amazed. The scenery of the Nile River right in front of you is truly a masterpiece. In the morning, the mist-covered river feels mysterious, and in the evening, the sunset spreading across the water is so beautiful that you could easily spend the whole day just inside the hotel. The package I booked through Trip.com included a guided West Bank tour with pickup and drop-off at Iberotel. The itinerary was well-organized: Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple in the morning, followed by the Valley of the Kings, Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and Colossi of Memnon in the afternoon. The guide was friendly and provided excellent explanations, making the historical sites even more enjoyable. The schedule was tight but not overwhelming, allowing for a fulfilling day. After the tour, returning to the hotel and sitting on the balcony with a beer while gazing at the Nile River felt like the quintessential Egyptian experience. Despite being in the city, the hotel is quiet and offers stunning views, making it perfect for those looking for a cost-effective stay. I highly recommend the combination of Iberotel Luxor and a guided tour in Luxor. It’s the best way to spend a perfect day and end it by admiring the Nile River. Location: Iberotel Luxor, Egypt

My trip to Luxor, Egypt, was truly beyond imagination, thanks to the Thai Airways ticket event! I booked the Luxor East Bank + West Bank tour through Trip.com and spent an entire day exploring historical sites. Among them, the most impressive was the 'Colossi of Memnon.' We arrived at the Colossi of Memnon towards the end of the West Bank tour, just around sunset. The statues bathed in the evening glow were absolutely breathtaking. The tour started early in the morning, beginning with the East Bank sites like Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. After lunch, we moved on to the West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings and the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, finally ending at the Colossi of Memnon. Although walking all day left my legs sore, seeing the Colossi of Memnon made all the fatigue disappear. The Colossi of Memnon are not just giant stones. The fact that they have stood there for thousands of years is awe-inspiring. At sunset, the statues, bathed in a reddish glow, felt like living gods. The guide explained that the sounds emanating from the statues were once called 'Memnon's Cry,' believed by ancient people to be the voice of the gods. Hearing this made the statues feel even more mystical. The Trip.com tour was well-organized, with comfortable transportation and a local guide fluent in English, making the explanations easy to understand. The guide also pointed out great photo spots, allowing me to capture many beautiful pictures. Despite being a group tour, the schedule was neither rushed nor boring. Although the itinerary was tight, covering both the East and West Banks of Luxor in one day, it was a perfect day to truly experience Egypt's rich history and ancient culture in a short time.

When thinking of Egypt, the first thing that comes to mind might be the pyramids, but when it comes to historical heritage, Luxor is an indispensable city in Egyptian history. Located on the banks of the Nile River, Luxor is a testament to ancient Egypt's splendor and rich history. Known as the world's largest open-air museum, Luxor is a treasure trove of archaeological wonders and cultural experiences. Egyptians say: "You haven't been to Egypt if you haven't been to Luxor." Indeed, Luxor has numerous tourist attractions, among which Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple are particularly worth visiting. They help you reconstruct history and gain a deeper understanding of Egypt. There you'll find the Avenue of Sphinxes, obelisks, colonnades, and many Egyptian hieroglyphics and carvings. Luxor Temple is much smaller than Karnak Temple. Early evening is the golden time to visit Luxor Temple, when the sunset shines through the stone pillars onto the temple, creating a beautiful scene with the interplay of light and shadow on the reliefs and columns. After sunset, the temple's lighting is turned on, presenting yet another beautiful view. A trip to Luxor would be incomplete without visiting the Valley of the Kings. This burial ground is the final resting place for many pharaohs of the New Kingdom period, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. Inside the tombs, you can see vibrant murals depicting the journey to the afterlife. The craftsmanship and artistry of these tombs are astonishing, with some still retaining their original colors. Be sure to visit the tombs of Ramses VI, Seti I, and Thutmose III to gain deeper insights into ancient Egyptian burial customs and beliefs. Finally, take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise to overlook the Valley of the Kings and welcome the first rays of sunlight from Luxor, Egypt. Luxor
