Day 01
Explore Karnak, Luxor Museum, and Luxor Temple
- We will take you to visit two massive temples on the eastern bank of the Nile. The first is the Karnak Temple Complex, which comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic Period. It is a vast open-air museum and the world's second-largest ancient religious site. It was mainly a place of worship for the Theban triad - the gods Amon, his consort Mut, and their son Khunso.
- Then, we will visit the Luxor Museum, one of the most beautiful museums in the world. It includes ancient Egyptian statues, tools, weapons, and other objects from the Pharaonic, Christian, and Islamic periods.
- After that, we will visit the second temple, Luxor Temple. It is believed that one of the ancient Egyptian festivals was held inside the temple, as different scenes on the walls represent the celebration of the festival. Its inner part was built by King Amenhotep III, while the outer part was built by King Ramses II.
- After entering the temple, you will find Abu Al-Haggag Mosque, which was built on the ruins of a church that had itself been built inside the temple. At the rear of the temple are chapels built by King Thutmosis III and Alexander the Great.
- After this amazing tour of ancient Egyptian monuments, our tour guide will escort you back to your hotel in Luxor.
