Day 01
Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple Exploration
- Meet your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel, and head to the east bank of Luxor.
- Visit Karnak Temple, which was dedicated to the god Amon, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. Amun, also known as Amon, Ammon, and Amen, was the Egyptian god of the sun and air. Regarded as one of the most important gods, Amun was central to ancient Egyptian civilization during the rise of the New Kingdom from 1570 to 1069 BCE. Mut, also known as Maut, Mout, and Mut, was a goddess worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. The meaning of her name is 'mother', and therefore she was known as the mother goddess. For some, she was known as the mother of everything in the world, and for others, she was recognized as the mother of the moon child god Khonsu. Khonsu, the son of the goddess Mut, was the ancient Egyptian god of the moon. The meaning of his name is 'traveller'.
- Later, visit Luxor Temple. It was built in the New Kingdom by Amenhotep III, and Ramesses II completed it. The temple was dedicated to worshipping the Theban Triad of Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu.
- End the tour by visiting the great Obelisk of Ramses II in front of the 1st Pylon.
- Head back to your hotel.
