The tour begins at the Colossi of Memnon in Luxor, located on the west bank of the governorate. Upon arrival at the site, you can observe the stunning Colossi of Memnon towering before you. Each statue reaches a height of about 20 meters, making them striking from a distance.
As you approach, you can see the intricate details of the statues and learn about the quartzite stone used in their construction, which was brought from the area of Al-Abbassia in Cairo. The statues reflect the artistic and engineering innovation of the craftsmen who worked on them, highlighting the beauty and grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Then, you can wander around the statues and explore the inscriptions and names engraved on them, including the names of the kings who ruled Egypt in the Roman eras, as well as the scholars and historians who shaped world history.
During your tour, you may notice that the air passes through the cracks of the statues, producing a whistling sound, which is considered a strange and appealing phenomenon for visitors. This sound recalls the legend of the mythical hero Memnon, adding a magical touch to the tourist experience.
