- Temple of Karnak - You will visit the Karnak Temple, the second largest religious temple in the world after Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

The Karnak Temple is a collection of precincts for Amun Re, Mut and Monsu and contains holy lakes, hypostyle halls, obelisks, pylons and shrines. Within the walls is a separate open air museum that requires an additional entrance ticket, as does the Mut precinct. Your guide will lead you through the temple, sharing the historical highlights and giving you plenty of time to wander around between the ancient walls.

Embark on a journey to Thebes, the ancient Egyptian capital during the Middle and New Era, to explore its two major temples. Your day will start with a trained English-speaking guide picking you up from your accommodation, offering you the comfort of air-conditioned private transport. You’ll first visit the Karnak Temple where revered Pharaohs including Tutankhamun, Hatchepsut, and Ramses II performed their holy ceremonies. This temple complex boasts sacred lakes, hypostyle halls, obelisks, pylons, and shrines. You’ll then progress to the Luxor Temple that sits elegantly alongside the River Nile. Unlike most, this temple wasn’t dedicated to a god or pharaoh, but to the Revival of Monarchy and is the epicenter of the Opet Festival.
