Luxor Temple, Ancient temple in Egypt
Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor.
The temple was built by Amenhotep III (1390-52 BC) but completed by Tutankhamun (1332-23 BC) and Horemheb (1323-1295 BC) and then added to by Rameses II (1279-13 BC).
Luxor Temple has been a place of worship continuously for thousands of years, first dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, and later used as a Christian church and a mosque.
Today, it's a popular tourist destination, open from 6am to 9pm daily.
Unlike other temples in Thebes, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death.
