Colossi of Memnon
Two 18‑m seated sandstone statues guarding Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple — dramatic for scale, texture and Nile‑bank vistas. Shoot monument detail, full‑body scale against sky, and silhouette at sunrise/sunset. Best at golden hour (sunrise for warmth, sunset for silhouettes). Easy access from Luxor West Bank by taxi; small entry fee and basic parking nearby. Weekdays and early mornings avoid tour buses; respect site rules and local guides.
