Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III

This monument was great to stop to see and get some photos.
The parking lot is small, and it is usually very busy.
There are restrooms here, but also many vendors who will try to get your attention.
Plan only 15 or 20 minutes to walk around and get photos of the two colossi statues

Is the same Colossus of Memmon. Good place to stop by. You can be there for 15-20minutes to stretch the legs, take some picture between the big statues and have some water. There is a german excavation on the back. After the visit, you can have lunch to Paris restaurant wich is 30 seconds from there is nice and good price.

Actually its not saying much things for at that point m. There is standing 2 sculptures and standing a sculpture back of bottom them. Both of two is as giant but around side needs to renovate and clean. There might have been modareted. But absolutely you need to visit there if your way pass through west side of Luxor.

Nice place
The story was interesting
You can try the balloon there aslo

I visited while returning from Valley of Kings in West Bank area of Luxor, presently Colossi of Memnon remains and under reconstruction by Archeological Department, magnificent statues with backdrop of mountains are quite impressive, they originally represent Pharaoh of Amenhotep III, this place is a great tourist attraction and entry is free.

Miraculous in sandstone carved statues! But 100m further in the direction of the mountains you can find highly polished as if they where casted in granite statues. Also worthy to visit!

Saw this place from air balloon. Splendid and fascinated

No tickets needed located on the western bank of the nile

You won’t need much time. It’s a simple enough place. The starts of the show are the colossi. In and out in 10 minutes but highly recommend

Beautiful mortuary Temple. Recommend stopping and having a look.

Two of the iconic statues in Luxor, Amenhetep III, and Collosi of Memnon can be seen before you see the western sites in Luxor. The statues are iconic and are part of the temple that got impacted by an earthquake in Luxor. Currently, there are plans for renovations of the temple. It's free to access the site, and honestly, it's worth it to take the time and see the size of this magnificent structure

Impressive to see so much history here.... visited by an uncountable number of people and knowing these statues will still be there when we are gone....

A definite stop on the way to the valley of the kings. The two large statues built around 1400BC by Amenhotep II still standing proudly 2022.
Worth , definitely worth !!

The Tempe was destroyed by the floods of the Nile and it still holds many statues that represent Amonhotep IiI tow of these giants statues are Callie’s colossi of Aga Memnon

2 gigantic monuments here, be cautious about local folks around, they will ask to take your pictures and then ask money :-) You can find ATM machine and some shops for food and souveneirs.

This is a beautiful scene from the Air Balloon and even better on the ground. The community people will hound you to purchase from them. BARGAIN!!!

This place is commonly refered to as the Colossi of Memnon at this moment. This is because the actual funerary complex of Pharoah Amenhotep lll is still under excavation.
The entrance to the Colossi is free, as is the parking, but the funerary complex is off limits for visitors.
We saw archeologists and their team sifting through the rubble. There are fallen boulders, and parts of pillars and innumerable structures that have been excavated, but not erected as yet.
There are a number of small kiosks at the parking area selling souvenirs, and snacks. Outside this complex, there are also a few cafes for buying a snack or grabbing a bite to eat.

Just two giant monuments in a field. They are huge and very cool and have been effected by earthquakes. My favorite thing about them is the ancient Greek graffiti around their legs and that they mark the way to the Valley of the Kings.

Just two huge regal statues remaining from the entire temple. It's a real shame the rest was destroyed. The two remaining statues though stand tall and can fuel your imagination for what it once looked like.

Worth a quick stop to see these monumental sculpture.
