Luxor Temple, located on the east bank of the Nile River, is one of Egypt’s most remarkable ancient sites. Built around 1400 BCE by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, this temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. It served as the focal point for the annual Opet Festival, where statues of the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu were paraded from Karnak to Luxor to celebrate the pharaoh’s divine birth and renewal of power.
