Temples
Luxor has two major temples on its east-bank, the Luxor Temple and the Karnak temple complex. On the west-bank there are a number of so-called funery temples, each built for a specific pharao. The most famous of these temples are the Ramesseum (Ramesses II), Deir el-Bahari (Queen Hatsjepsut) and Medinat Habu (Ramesses III). I've visited these temples already at least once before, except for King Merneptah's funary temple ruins. The latter site has been excavated en partially restored recently. Currently there's restauration work going on near the funary temple of Amenhotep III. This once giant temple is completely gone, except for two enormous statues that stood before the first pylon. These statues are better known as the Memnon Collossi.
