Karnak Temple:
Karnak is an ancient Egyptian temple located in Thebes (modern day Luxor) on the east bank of the Nile River in the valley. It covers an area of ??more than 100 hectares, which is larger than some ancient cities. The central sector of the site, which occupies the largest amount of space, is dedicated to the male god Amun, associated with Tus.

Philae Temple:
Phila in Greek or Pilak in ancient Egyptian, meaning ‘end’ marks the highest boundary of southern Egypt. It was started by Ptolemy II and was completed by the Roman emperors.

These three characters dominated ancient Egyptian culture and their stories contain all the drama of a Shakespearean tragedy.
Map of the Isis Temple in Philadelphia When the High Aswan Dam was built in the 1960s, the Philadelphia Temple was almost lost underwater. Fortunately, the temple was rescued through a joint operation by the Egyptian government and UNESCO. In an engineering feat to compete with the ancients, the whole island was surrounded by a dam and dried up inside. Each stone block of the temple complex was then legalized and later assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle on the high ground of Agilka Island. The whole project took ten years and saved one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt from certain destruction.
Colossi of Memnon:
The Colossi Memnon (also known as El-Kalsat or El-Salamat) is a statue of two monuments representing Amenhotep III (1386-1353 BC) of the 18th dynasty of Egypt. These are located west of the modern city of Luxor and face east on the Nile River. Sitting on a throne adorned with images of his mother, his wife, the goddess Happy and other iconic carvings in the statues, the king figures fly 60 feet (18 m) high and weigh 720 tons each; Both are carved from a single block of sandstone.
