Luxor, one of the most beautiful temples of Egypt dates back 4000 years. Dedicated to Amun, the king of the Gods, Luxor was built by two of Egypt ‘s most famous pharohs, Amenhotepis III, a magnificent patron of the Arts whose reign marked one of the peaks of Egypt’s power, and Ramesses II also called the “Great Builder”. One of the two great obelisks adorning the entrance of the temple can now be seen in Paris.
