Luxor Temple is a large ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city of Luxor, formerly known as Thebes. Constructed around 1400 BCE, the temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and was primarily built by Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II. The temple complex is renowned for its grandiose architecture, including massive pylons, statues, and columns. It also features an avenue of sphinxes that connects it to the Karnak Temple complex.
