- Temple of Karnak - Upon arriving in Luxor, our first stop will be the Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt located on the eastern bank of the Nile. The grand pillared hall is one of the temple’s most significant architectural features. The complex comprises three areas enclosed by walls: the first dedicated to Amun (ancient Egyptian Ipet-sut, meaning “place of election”), the second to the District of Month, and the third to Mut. The oldest visible remains date back to the 12th dynasty under Sesostris. The temple complex was continuously expanded and rebuilt until the Roman Empire. Noteworthy among the ruins are the temples of Amun-Re, featuring a total of ten pylons. You will also see the sacred lake, measuring 120 × 77 meters, located south of the central temple building and fed by groundwater. Admire the grand pillared hall, statues, pylons, and obelisks.

You will have the opportunity to visit three tombs. The Valley of the Kings houses the tombs of the rulers of the New Kingdom, approximately 1550 to 1069 BC, from the 18th to the 20th dynasty. In 1922, Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered largely intact.
