Avenue of Sphinxes

The Avenue of Sphinxes is the 2.7 km processional way that linked Karnak with Luxor Temple in ancient Thebes and was used for the Opet Festival. Most of its sphinxes date from Nectanebo I in the 4th century BC; after decades of excavation it reopened in 2021 as a walkway lined with sphinx and ram statues.
