Luxor
Your experience begins with a prompt pickup from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship. Sit back and relax in an air-conditioned vehicle as your Egyptologist guide sets the stage for the day’s discoveries, sharing insights into the ancient city you're about to explore.
Temple of Karnak
Step into one of the most awe-inspiring open-air museums on Earth. The Karnak Temple, once the religious heart of ancient Thebes, is a sprawling complex of sanctuaries, pylons, and colossal statues dedicated primarily to Amun-Ra. Walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, gaze up at towering columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall, and admire the sacred lake — all while your expert guide unveils the temple’s fascinating layers of history, mythology, and architectural genius.
Luxor Temple
Unlike Karnak, Luxor Temple was not dedicated to a single god, but to the rejuvenation of kingship. As the sun begins to dip, you'll explore this majestic temple bathed in golden light — an unforgettable sight. Located in the heart of the modern city, Luxor Temple features elegant colonnades, intricately carved hieroglyphs, and statues of Ramses II. It’s a magical contrast of ancient and modern worlds, especially enchanting as the temple begins to glow under evening lights.
