Colossi of Memnon Tour

Fri, Oct 22: Theban Necropolis, Luxor, Egypt

The Colossi of Memnon are two 18m (60ft) statues that guard the entrance to Amenhotep’s temple. They sit on the side of the main road next to a small parking lot.

TIP: Take a walk around the Colossi and notice the difference in damage between the front and rear sides.
