Itinerary

At 8 am you will be picked up and accompanied by your guide from your hotel to visit the highlights of the East bank of Luxor and you see at the beginning the temple of Karnak.
Karnak temple is an extraordinary complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and obelisks dedicated to the Theban triad but also to the greater glory of pharaohs. The site covers more than 2 sq. km; it’s large enough to contain about 10 cathedrals.

At its heart is the Temple of Amon, the earthly ‘home’ of the local god. Built, added to, dismantled, restored, enlarged and decorated over nearly 1500 years, Karnak was the most important place of worship in Egypt during the New Kingdom.

Then continue you tour and visit temple of Luxor.

Luxor temple is largely built by the New Kingdom pharaohs Amenhotep III (1390–1352 BC) and Ramses II (1279–1213 BC), this temple is a strikingly graceful monument in the heart of the modern town. Also known as the Southern Sanctuary.

Its main function was during the annual Opet celebrations, when the statues of Amun, Mut and Khonsu were brought from Karnak, along the Avenue of Sphinxes, and reunited here during the inundation.

After you finish your tour, your guide will escort you back to your hotel
