Avenue of Sphinxes

The Avenue of Sphinxes is a 2.7 km long avenue that connects Karnak Temple with Luxor Temple in Luxor, Egypt. The avenue is lined with over 1,000 sphinx statues, each guarding the way with an air of mystery. The road was originally constructed during the New Kingdom era, was completed during the Late period and was later buried under layers of sand over the centuries. The avenue was rediscovered and restored, and in 2021, it was officially reopened to the public. The Avenue of Sphinxes offers a journey back in time, allowing visitors to walk where pharaohs once walked and to feel the ancient gods. The avenue is beautifully lit at night, creating a mesmerizing scene that highlights the timeless beauty of the sphinxes and the temples they guard
