Today a bit of a shorter post, as returning to work has been rather busy! During our Egyptian journey, we enjoyed a wonderful time in Luxor. From that locale you will have seen the 3 part series of posts on the Karnak Temple Complex.
We follow the avenue of the sphinxes to this great temple…
Here we see the entrance Pylon of the Luxor Temple. You may notice that there is only a single obelisk, which creates an asymmetry. The companion to this obelisk is in Paris on the Place de la Concorde.
This temple is connected with the Karnak Temple Complex by the avenue of the Sphinxes. This 2,700m road was restored and re-opened in 2021, so that one can walk from one temple complex to another.
It must be special to walk the connection between Luxor and Karnak! I ride a bicycle in 2002
It’s really amazing to see that entire connection and imagine what it was like during the procession from Karnak to Luxor.
