Itinerary

Karnak Temple — The Heart of Ancient Thebes

 

Discover the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex, one of the most magnificent religious sites in the ancient world and the spiritual center of Thebes, the capital of ancient Egypt. Dedicated mainly to the Theban triad — Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, Karnak reflects over 2,000 years of continuous construction by generations of pharaohs.

Wander through the Great Hypostyle Hall, an architectural masterpiece with 134 towering columns covered in intricate hieroglyphs. Admire the colossal obelisks of Hatshepsut and Thutmose I, the Sacred Lake, and the Avenue of Sphinxes that once connected Karnak to Luxor Temple.

Every corner of Karnak reveals the power, devotion, and artistry of Egypt’s New Kingdom. Your Egyptologist guide will bring history to life, sharing fascinating insights into the temple’s role in ancient rituals, festivals, and the worship of Amun-Ra — the king of gods.

Visiting Karnak Temple is not just sightseeing; it’s a journey into the heart of Egypt’s spiritual and architectural glory, where every stone whispers the legacy of the pharaohs.

Luxor Temple — The Living Legacy of Ancient Thebes

 

Experience the timeless beauty of Luxor Temple, one of Egypt’s most remarkable ancient monuments and a masterpiece of New Kingdom architecture. Located in the heart of modern Luxor, this majestic temple once served as the ceremonial center of ancient Thebes, dedicated to the Theban triad — Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

Built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, the temple showcases colossal statues, towering columns, and intricately carved hieroglyphs that tell stories of divine kingship and ancient rituals. The temple’s Avenue of Sphinxes once connected it to the mighty Karnak Temple, forming one of the most sacred processional routes in ancient Egypt.

By day, Luxor Temple impresses with its grand scale and exquisite detail; by night, it glows under warm golden lighting, offering one of Egypt’s most atmospheric sights. A visit here allows you to walk in the footsteps of pharaohs and feel the enduring spirit of Egypt’s glorious past.
