卢克索
卡纳克与卢克索神庙半日私人游
四小时看完东岸两大神庙,上午或傍晚出发。

市中心的阿蒙霍特普三世神庙,灯光亮起时最美。
卢克索神庙由阿蒙霍特普三世约于公元前 1390 年建造,由图坦卡蒙和拉美西斯二世完成,后者的塔门和唯一的方尖碑(另一座在巴黎)构成正面。阿布·哈贾格清真寺立于神庙之内,后部有一座罗马小礼拜堂。导览一小时;门票约 500 埃镑;开放至 21:00,日落后亮灯。我们的卢克索一日游和东岸半日游均包含。
Luxor Temple was the "southern sanctuary" where the statue of Amun came from Karnak every year for the Opet festival along the Avenue of Sphinxes. Ramses II added the pylon with his colossi and the two obelisks, one given to France in 1833. Behind the courtyard runs the colonnade of Amenhotep III, carved with the Opet procession under Tutankhamun.
The temple was never abandoned: the Romans made it a fort and painted a chapel to the emperors in the sanctuary; the Copts built churches in the courtyards; the mosque of Abu Haggag, built on the rubble in the 13th century, still stands on top of the Ramses court with its door six metres above the ancient floor.
It is small enough for an hour and at its best when the sun has gone and the stones are lit. Our afternoon East Bank tour and the felucca sails are timed for that.
最佳时间: 黄昏,四季皆宜。
