    As I said before, this temple is conected with the Karnak Temple by human-head sphinxs (3 kilometers). It is dedicated to Amon-re, king of gods.

    In many ways, I actually prefered Luxor Temple to Karnak. This is simply because the latter can be completely overwhelming. Luxor is much smaller, more compact and in essence built by 2 rulers over a 170 year period (but with breaks in between due to Ahkanaten and his one god belief). Amenophis III and Rameses II are essentially responsible for Luxor (1417-1237 BC). Luxor and Karnak were actually connected as a later date by a 2.5km Avenue of the Sphinxes.

    This avenue of Sphinxes leads to Luxor Temple, and combine the body of a lion with the head of Nectanebo I (380-363 B.C.E.). Traveling is my passion, so i like to compare the mountains in Ecuador/France, the beaches in Venezuela/Belgium and also the many gardens. The second picture will show you another comparison - Luxor and Versailles How those monuments where doubled in France - Ask Napoleon I

    This is another must see temple for Luxor. It is located near Karnak and is spectacular as well. Not as big, but impressive all the same. The huge Oblisk is here!

    Obelisk

    The temple of Luxor is dedicated to Amon, Moet and Chons. The most breathtaking monument in this temple is (for me) the enormous colonnade. The 14 colons are 16 m high and are all decorated with beautiful reliefs. Also the 25 m high obelisk is special because it's not an original piece. The original is on the Place the la Concorde in Paris since 1836.

    Luxor Temple is best visited in the morning when the light is on the First Pylon, and again in the evening when it is floodlit.

    The colonnade of closed papyrus-bud columns, which originally lined the court on all four sides. Standing statues of Ramesses II punctuate most of the spaces between the columns.
