contents We compute the real part of the semi-classical limit of the sequence of quantum hyperbolic invariants (QHI) of the figure-eight knot complement $M$. We show that it is rigid, in the sense that it does not depend on the choice of holonomy representation of $M$, and it is either $0$ or equal to the hyperbolic volume of $M$ divided by $2π$, depending on a parity condition satisfied by logarithms of the holonomy eigenvalues on the canonical longitude, where the logarithms are parameters of the QHI of $M$. Along the way we also survey some relevant general features of the QHI.
