It developed over a period of 1500 years, added to by generation after generation of pharaohs and resulting in a collection of temples, sanctuaries, pylons, and other decorations that is unparalleled throughout Egypt. The height of its importance was during the New Kingdom and famous pharaohs such as Hatshepsut,Tuthmose III, Seti I and Ramesses II all contributed significant additions to the complex, construction continued into the Greco-Roman Period with the Ptolomies, Romans, and early Christians all leaving their mark here. Move to visit Luxor Temple which was constructed in 1400 B.C during the New Kingdom for the Open Festival; an ancient Egyptian celebration that was organizing annually and known as the southern shrine. The two temples are located in the East Bank of Luxor in an area called the city of the living.

Tombs were built, by cutting through various layers of limestone, each with its own quality. 

Discover one of the most preserved temples in Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut Temple which is one of the best preserved temples in Egypt and one of the most characteristic temples in the whole of Egypt, due to its design and decorations as it was built of limestone, not sandstone like most of the other funerary temples of the New Kingdom period, dedicated to Hatshepsut who was a rare female Pharaoh as she was the fifth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Entertain your eyes and mind by watching the beautiful monuments of the Temple of Hatshipsut and its fancy inscriptions that also reflect the serious struggle between Hatshipsut and her son in law Tuthmosis as well as her nephew, because there were a lot of her statues that were damaged, as well as the servants and followers of Tuthmosis III destroyed the most of her items and Cartouches after her mysterious death. Finally Overnight Luxor Tours from Safaga Port allows you to visit the mysterious statues of Colossi of Memnon which are two ruined statues around 20 m high, known as the guardians of Amenhotep III Temple which was completely destroyed during the earthquake that occurred in 27 BC. Memnon was an Ethiopian king who joined the battle on the side of the Trojans against the Greeks and was killed by the Greek champion Achilles. They were made famous in antiquity by a mysterious sound emitted from one of them each sunrise. Scientists now think that this sound was caused by air passing through pores in the stone as it was warmed in the sunlight, but there is no way to confirm this since the sound stopped centuries ago.
