The Temple of Luxor was built by Amenophis III. The Karnak Temple was connected to Luxor Temple via a long stone processional street called a dromos. The dromos was built by Nectanebo I, and originally was lined on either side by sphinxes. In front of the Luxor temple, the dromos are extremely well preserved.
