The King’s Festivities Road or Rams Road is 1.7 mile long and about 250 feet wide avenue, which connects Karnak Temple with Luxor Temple, have been uncovered in the ancient city of Thebes, with sphinxes and ram-headed statues lined up on both flanks.

The first trace of the road was found in 1949 when Egyptian archaeologist Zakaria Ghoneim unearthed eight statues near Luxor Temple, with another 17 excavated from 1958 to 1961 and 55 excavated from 1961 to 1964 – all within a circumference of 250 metres.

The Rams Road connects the most important monuments in Luxor. Its statues were carved from sandstone. The road extends from Karnak Temple to Luxor Temple with a length of 2,700 meters.
