At the Colossi of Memnon, stand before the last remains of Amenhotep III’s once-grand mortuary temple. Then go beyond the usual with a visit to Medinat Habu, Ramses III’s massive and well-preserved temple, often overlooked by tourists.

As you approach the temple’s grand terraces and colonnades, you'll be amazed by its symmetry, architecture, and integration into the natural rock landscape. Inside, explore beautifully preserved reliefs that depict Hatshepsut’s divine birth, her famous expedition to the Land of Punt, and her powerful reign.

Colossi of MemnonWitness the towering guardians of ancient Thebes — the Colossi of Memnon. These two massive seated statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, each rising about 18 meters high, have stood in the Theban necropolis for over 3,400 years. Originally placed at the entrance of a grand mortuary temple (now mostly lost to time), they once welcomed visitors to one of the largest temple complexes ever built in Egypt. Despite centuries of earthquakes and erosion, the statues remain iconic landmarks on the West Bank of Luxor. Your guide will share the fascinating legend behind the "singing statue" — a mysterious sound once reported at dawn from the northern colossus, attracting ancient Greek and Roman travelers. A stop at the Colossi of Memnon is a perfect photo opportunity and an ideal introduction to the grandeur of the pharaohs and the legacy of ancient Egyptian architecture and symbolism.
