Developed over more than 2,000 years, from the Middle Kingdom through later periods, it is one of the largest religious complexes in the ancient world, sitting on a space of 247 acres. This massive site is filled with many shrines, pylons, the legendary hypostyle hall, and the Avenue of Sphinxes which connected Karnak directly to Luxor Temple and was associated with the ancient Opet Festival.

Luxor Temple by Night

Luxor Temple is a magnificent southern sanctuary designed for royal celebrations, grand festivals, and the crowning of a number of great rulers like Ramses the great, Amenhotep III, and Alexander the Great. Largely built during the reigns of Amenhotep III and Ramses II, the temple was dedicated mainly to Amun Ra (associated with the Opet Festival), along with Mut and Khonsu.
