Egypt's Luxor is home to many historical sites. Among them, the Avenue of Sphinxes is surely a must visit for tourists. It connects Karnak temple in the north and Luxor temple in the south. There are two main types of Sphinxes along the way, some with ram's heads and others featuring a human head on a lion's body.
