Angkor Wat Sunrise

Angkor Wat Sunrise is the most popular spot to catch first light for travel in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Built in the 12th century, the temple faces west and so the sun rises dramatically from behind its iconic spires.

The quintessential shot of Angkor Wat at sunrise is taken from behind the reflection pools, where you can see the temple’s stunning silhouette mirrored in the still waters.
