Egypt - Luxor

Luxor Temple, Egypt, 2018. Luxor Temple is situated on the banks of the Nile River and in the center of the current city of Luxor which was the site of Thebes in ancient Egypt. The Temple is dedicated to the three gods of Amun, Mut and Khonsu and dates back to the 18th Dynasty. We visited the Temple after sunset so all of the photos rely on the flood lighting used to show off the Temple at night.
