Toward evening we had our next tour, the Luxor Tempel. After visiting all the other tempels up to now (Karnak, Hatschepsut, Valley of Kings) I thought this one would impress me. I was wrong! As with all the tempels I would be visiting in the next days I WAS impressed! Each has it's own importance, it's own charm.
The Luxor Tempel was once directly connected to the Karnak Tempel via a straight allee lined with lion figures. Most of that is now over-built, though part is being re-done. On one section the building on top of the former allee can't be removed since it's a Moshee and houses of God are never torn down or replaced.

| While we were at the tempel, the sun was setting and it soon became dark, but awesome! | |
