Title: Opening Ceremony of Sphinx Avenue in Luxor

This video captures the grand reopening ceremony of Luxor’s ancient Avenue of the Sphinxes, also known as the Rams Road, celebrated on 25 November 2021 after years of restoration:

The historic walkway stretching ~2.7 km between Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple is illuminated along both sides by 1,057 sphinxes—including ram-headed and human-headed statues—representing 3,000 years of history
The event featured a lavish parade recreating the ancient Opet Festival, complete with performers in Pharaonic dress, golden boats symbolizing the deities Amun‑Re, Mut, and Khonsu, symphony orchestra, dancers, floats, horse‑drawn carriages, and decorative lighting lighting up the pathway at night
Egypt’s President Abdel‑Fattah el‑Sisi, ministers, diplomats, and international guests attended the ceremony. Fireworks illuminated the sky above the temples as ancient hymns echoed along the avenue
The video also includes behind-the-scenes footage: speeches by Minister Khaled Al‑Anany, a screening of the documentary Luxor the Secret, and messages emphasizing Egypt’s heritage, security, and tourism revival
