Visit the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III Known as (Colossi of Memnon)

The Colossi of Memnone is due to the enormous stone statue of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. They are located in the Tebe necropolis, on the banks of the Nile, opposite the modern city of Luxor. The due statue is 18 meters high and is only 3400 years old.

The two statues were originally built as guards for the funerary complex of Amenhotep III. The statue is said to have been damaged by an earthquake in 27 BC, and is now emitting a moan-like dream at sunrise. This sound was interpreted in various ways in the body of the pharaoh, as a statue of the pharaoh's death or a divine sign.

The two statues are considered among the most famous tourist attractions in Egypt. We have been visited by travelers from all over the world, and continue to be a source for the wonderful and obscure.
