Colossi of Memnon
Before returning to the cruise, you'll stop by the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that have silently stood watch over the Theban desert for over 3,000 years.
Rising nearly 18 meters high, these colossal statues once flanked the grand gateway to Pharaoh Amenhotep III’s now-lost mortuary temple—silent guardians that continue to defy the passage of time.
Ancient legends claimed that one of the statues would “sing” at sunrise—a phenomenon that drew curious travelers from around the ancient world.
