Luxor Temple – Experience Ancient Egypt After Sunset

Located in the heart of modern Luxor, Luxor Temple is one of Egypt’s most fascinating ancient temples. Built mainly during the New Kingdom around 3,400 years ago, it played an important role in ancient Egyptian religious ceremonies and was connected to Karnak Temple by the famous Avenue of Sphinxes.

Thanks to its late opening hours, Luxor Temple is one of the best places in Luxor to visit around sunset and after dark. A mosque built within the temple complex is still in use today, making Luxor Temple one of the oldest ancient religious sites in the world that continues to be used for worship. Explore the beautifully illuminated temple and take a walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes after dark.
