Colossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon are the two seated statues on the west-bank plain, former guardians of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple. From the balloon they sit in the fields as a pair — scale you only get from the air.

They are on the west-bank route this sunrise flight is sold around. You see them from the basket; you do not stop at the roadside.
