The most magnificent thing at the entrance of the temple is Sphinx Avenue. The Sphinx Avenue looks very impressive at first glance. In fact, every statue is not very big and the sense of recovery is very strong, so just look at it, don't spend too much time here.

    Luxor's Sphinx Avenue is an important commercial avenue in Luxor's ancient city. The road is lined with old buildings, and on the first floor there are many shops, both restaurants and craft shops. It is the most worthwhile place to visit Luxor shopping, you can come and stroll.

    [Egypt Luxor] Sleep until you wake up naturally and walk to the Luxor Temple opposite. After visiting the temple, McDonald's opposite continued to shake [cover your face]. This trip to Egypt, you must drink enough milkshakes [struggle] [struggle] [struggle]. McDonald's came out to fight a horse's [screaming teeth] and the next temple continued to walk. Introduce the Sphinx Avenue Sphinx Avenue from Luxor Temple to the Kanak Temple three or four kilometers away, this road was originally covered with stone statues of the Sphinx, and now we can see this avenue, But there are few sphinx statues on both sides. Nevertheless, we can still feel the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization! When we returned, the carriage master took us to the market to take a stroll to feel the market life of the Egyptian people. [Dental teeth][Dental teeth][Dental teeth]

    In Luxor, a city of ancient civilizations accumulated in Egypt for thousands of years, there are historical relics everywhere, and the power of God is everywhere, so that people can admire it at any time. This road along the Nile is also called "Sphinx"! Sphinx, ancient Egypt was described as a winged monster, usually male, as a symbol of "mercy" and "noble" as a symbol of the majesty of the emperor "Pharaoh". After that, all statues and patterns with human heads, cow heads or sheep heads and sphinx. In Greece, it is a different representation and meaning. The winged Sphinx in Greek mythology is a monster that kills people. In Greek mythology, Herapais Finks sat on a cliff near the city of Obey, stopped passers-by, and asked them with a riddle taught by the muse, and the unsuspecting one would be eaten by it, the riddle was: "What animal walks with four legs in the morning, and walks with two legs at noon, Walking with three legs at night? When he walks most, it is the slowest and weakest. Oedipus guessed the correct answer, the mystery is "human". Sphinx was ashamed and jumped off the cliff and died. Therefore, different countries have different cultural differences, which is also one of the reasons for the world cultural exchange!

    In ancient times, this avenue connects the Luxor Temple to the Karnake Temple,2.5 kilometers away, and sits on each side with hundreds of Sphinx statues. Also known as the Sphinx Beast Avenue. At the end of the avenue, the gate of the Luxor Temple can be seen. To the north is a straight royal road lined with neat sphinxes on both sides, the famous Sphinx Avenue. By 2004, there were buildings in the modern city of Luxor, and the city government has begun to clean up the avenue. We could see the basic scale of the avenue when we went, but it was still being cleaned and repaired, and I believe it must be spectacular after all.
