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.
