Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located on the west bank of the Nile River near Luxor. These statues represent Pharaoh Amenhotep III and were originally part of his mortuary temple, which was once the largest and most opulent in Egypt but has mostly disappeared over time. Each statue stands about 18 meters (59 feet) tall and weighs approximately 720 tons. Carved from single blocks of quartzite sandstone, the Colossi depict Amenhotep III seated, with his hands resting on his knees and his gaze directed eastwards, towards the river and the rising sun. The Colossi of Memnon have been famous since antiquity. In the Roman era, one of the statues was reported to produce a musical sound at dawn, believed to be the voice of Memnon, a mythological hero. This phenomenon, likely caused by the expansion and contraction of the stone in the early morning heat, ceased after the statue was repaired in the 3rd century AD

Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon?
+

Is Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day in Luxor Valley of the Kings,Temple of Hatshepsut,Memnon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
