🕐 Best time to visit
Late afternoon to see it transition into evening illumination.
Luxor Temple sits on the Nile Corniche in the city centre, linked to Karnak by the 2.7 km Avenue of Sphinxes (mostly excavated in the 2010s, fully reopened in 2021). Begun by Amenhotep III and added to by Ramesses II — the seated Ramesses statues at the entrance and the obelisk are New Kingdom highlights.
Getting there from the port
Same Luxor coach day combines this with Karnak; on the East Bank Corniche.
