The Colossi of Memnon, two colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, are a prominent and easily accessible stop on Luxor's West Bank, typically visited as part of a larger tour of the area. They are free to view from the roadside, making the primary cost transportation to and from the site, or inclusion in a guided tour which provides valuable historical context. Visitors can approach the statues directly, and the flat ground ensures good accessibility for most, including those with mobility challenges. While you can visit independently, a guided tour is highly recommended for understanding their historical significance. The site is open year-round, but visiting in the cooler months from October to April, or early morning during summer, is advisable to avoid extreme heat. A typical visit duration is brief, usually 15-30 minutes, primarily for viewing and photography, as there are no direct amenities and the site itself is open-air.
