Night Visit to Luxor Temple (E15/25)


After my visit to Edfu Temple, next temple to visit is about 120km away, Luxor Temple.
Our cruise travel in full speed along Nile River.
In order to get to Luxur, we need to cross Esna Lock.
The whole process of empty and filling water is about six minutes and this allow vessels crossing along two part of waterway possible with different water level.
When travel from Luxor south to Edfu or Edfu to Luxor.
It's always a great photo opportunity at Esna Lock
By the time we reached Luxor, the sun is almost setting.
The Avenue of Sphinxes(known as "path of god" which went in a straight line from the Luxor Temple all the way to the Karnak Temple. 
First pylon at night

Some inscription has gone over time.
Some are barely visible.

This must be one of the most talk about. Some part has turn dark in colour probably by the tourist who touches it in believe that this could bring them fertility.
