Entrance of the Luxor Temple
|
| In front of the temple are statues of Ramses II and an obelisk
|
| The 25m obelisk is made from pink granite from Aswan Quarry

| Originally a pair, the other one is now in Place de la Concorde in Paris.

Out of the 6 sitting and 2 standing statues of Ramses II, only 2 are still sitting and one is standing on the furthest right.
