Only the figurine of Ptah stays in the shadows. This festival has been taking place for more than 3,200 years. Domestic tourists, international travelers, and locals gather before sunrise to see the lighting as the sun rises & cuts through the shadows of the shrine’s inner compartment. To get to the heart of the temple tourists must first stroll through the remarkable entrance with its grandiose façade of colossal figurines.
