It was already afternoon when one of Egypt's most magnificent temples, coming down from a Nile cruise, saw both the daytime view and the Luxor temple under the lights. It proves that Luxor, the glorious years of ancient Egypt, was built in 1398 BC, and then expanded by Ramses II, without experiencing it personally, it feels like a shock, and it is breathtaking.

The temple of Luxor was rebuilt by the 18th dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, Amonhotep III, on the site of the shrine built by Queen Hatshepsut, and has a history of more than 3,000 years. The temple of Luxor is especially famous in the ancient Thebes and is one of the better preserved temples. The temple of Luxor serves the wife of the goddess of Amon, Mt., which is also the palace of Amon. In ancient Egypt, the annual festival of Opera was celebrated, and the statues of Amon, Mt and Cons were carried from the temple of Kanak to Luxor in a sunboat.

Luxor is an ancient Egyptian city, located on the east bank of the Nile River in the south, about 200 kilometers from Aswan to the south. At an altitude of 78 meters, it is known as the ancient Thebes site in Egypt, which is known as the "biggest open-air museum" on the planet. Due to the chaos, many have been destroyed and obliterated. Now the better preserved is the famous Luxor Temple, of which the Karnake Temple is the most complete and largest. The building was built more than 4,000 years ago and was completed during the New Kingdom period during the times of Ramses II and Ramses III. After renovation and expansion over the past generations, it now covers an area of 33 hectares.

Luxor Temple - mainly built by Ramses III and Amenhotep III, lasted 168 years. It was a huge project. As soon as we entered the temple, we saw that there should be only one Obelisk standing there, while the other one was placed in Concorde Square by France. Over the past 200 years, pharaohs of all dynasties have been repaired and expanded successively. They have used this place as a memorial place to meet the gods of Amon Ra, Mute and Confucius, so it is also called "the Southern Palace of Amon".
