Karnak, Luxor Temple and East Bank Museums

  • Meet your tour guide at the agreed-upon location in Luxor and begin the tour.

  • Visit Karnak Temple, the largest man-made temple complex, built by many generations of ancient Egyptian builders. Karnak is actually the site's modern name. During ancient Egyptian times, it was called Ipet-isut, meaning "The Most Sacred of Places".

  • Continue to the three main temples of Mut, Montu, and Amun, enclosed by enormous brick walls. The Temple of Amun also encloses the Temple of Osiris Hek-Djet.

  • Proceed to Luxor Temple, which stands parallel to the riverbank. King Amenhotep III built this beautiful temple for Amon-Re, king of the gods, and his consort Mut. It was completed by Tutankhamun and Horemheb and later added to by Rameses II.

  • Visit the rear granite shrine dedicated to Alexander the Great. During the Christian era, the temple's hypostyle hall was converted into a Christian church, and the remains of another Coptic church can still be seen to the west.

  • Head to the wonderful Luxor Museum with your Egyptian tour guide.

  • Proceed to the Museum of Mummification.

  • Return to the hotel.
