The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. For the past 3400 years they have stood in the Theban necropolis, across the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor.
Temple of Amenhotep III Al Ba‘īrāt Muḩāfaz̧at al Uqşur Egypt
Yeah, you don't need to be an expert in languages to know what Colossi means! You haven't seen big until you've seen ancient Egyptian big!
Should be the first stop before the Valley of Kings. Ask to stop here and see it’s monumental
These two gigantic figures of Amenhotep III were originally situated in front of his Mortuary temple , which seems to have been destroyed for unknown reasons.
Only stopped for a quick photo opportunity - the two statues are badly weathered and aren't worth a visit in their own right - prob best for a quick stop on way back to hotel only
Tribute to Amenhotep III., There's nothing much to see, its the first stop before the Valley of the Kings ..just come and go...
Awesome????????
It's only worth a stop but be reminded the colossi are heavily damaged
The sandstone Colossi of Memnon soars 60 feet into the sky.
Nothing much to see
Half damaged but nice
Just passing grazed place.
Panorámicas preciosas con el vaye de los reyes al fondo.
Величественные статуи )
Es majestuoso!!!
Increíble lo antiguo de estas esculturas
На фоне огромных скульптур чувствуешь себя Дюймовочкой ))))
Надоедливые цыгани мешают, лучше с ними вообще не общаться! В игнор)
ルクソールの観光 はこの巨象から。以前は地震のひび割れ？と湿気起因でたまに呻き声が聞こえたそうです。紀元前の話。
Очень красивое место )
Ücretli bir yer değil, yine heybetli ama diğer yerler kadar etkileyici değil
Beautiful monument - the money shot is from the outside - not a huge amount inside. Unbearably hot walk up to it during the day - bring an umbrella for shade! - Phat Buoy
Awesome set of temples - take your time going round. Some very impressive statutes and columns. Come back for the light show in the evening - Phat Buoy
Stunning place. Highly recommended. Amazing during night. Nice walk from temple to Karnak via avenue. - Dim
Unbelievable beauty here. Really worth to visit. But be careful about the sun - Zina P
Understated Temple; worth a visit only 35Le to get in. Take a walk around the outside walls of the temple as the scenes are amazing. Go early to avoid the day tour buses that arrive around 11am - 12pm - lesley hammam
