- Start your coastal journey at the Karnak Temples on the eastern bank of the Nile River in Luxor. Stroll down the Sphinx Avenue on your way into the compound as your knowledgeable tour guide expounds on its monumental construction. Understand the heritage left behind by the numerous pharaohs of the area who progressively enhanced the complex’s size. The further you delve into the complex, the farther back in history you’ll journey – the most ancient ruins are more than 3,000 years old!
Step into the Great Hypostyle Hall via the Great Court and wonder at the 134 columns rising above you like an archaic woodland. At the compound’s end is the Sacred Lake, the site where pharaohs and their tributes to the deities were formerly sanctified centuries ago. Take some time to wander on your own before moving on to the next venue.
- Head southward to the Luxor Temple, which once connected to the Karnak Temples via Sphinx Avenue. Graced by statues of the formidable warrior Pharaoh Ramesses II, the originator of Egypt’s 19th dynasty, this temple from 1400 BC has withstood numerous Nile deluges, foreign assaults, and millennia under severe weather.
