• Kick off your day by exploring the Temples of Karnak. Stroll down the Avenue of Sphinx while your guide shares insights about the impressive construction of the gigantic complex. As you step into the Temples of Karnak, you’ll get to witness the individual contributions of different pharaohs that led to the expansion of the complex. The further you explore, the deeper you delve into history, with the oldest relics tracing back more than 3,000 years.

As you walk from the Great Court into the Great Hypostyle Hall, you’ll find yourself dwarfed by the 134 towering columns, creating an illusion of an age-old forest. The back of the complex houses the holy lake, where pharaohs purified their offerings to the gods centuries ago. Post the guided tour, spend some time exploring the complex at your own pace.

• Proceed to the Luxor Temple that used to be connected to the Temples of Karnak via a two-kilometer long Avenue of Sphinx, a stretch of which now marks the entrance to the temple. The temple is adorned with statues of the mighty pharaoh Ramses II and has withstood Nile inundations, foreign invasion, and thousands of years of weathering.

A quintessential Egyptian temple, its interior walls and pillars are inscribed with elaborate hieroglyphics, the interpretation of which will be facilitated by your guide. Learn about how Alexander the Great engraved his own story into Luxor Temple’s history and view the one remaining obelisk of the original pair, the other of which currently adorns the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
