Tour Itinerary

An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel or cruise in Luxor and takes you to the Temple of Karnak, a monumental complex built over 2,000 years. Cross the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes leading to the hypostyle hall: 134 columns, 21 meters high, illuminated by sunlight, with reliefs of Ramses II narrating the Battle of Qadesh (1274 BC). The guide explains the nocturnal rituals, when priests lit candles at the sacred lake to purify their souls before Amun. Touch the granite scarab, a symbol of eternity, where ancients made wishes. Will you decipher the hieroglyphs that tell of eternity? The obelisks of Hatshepsut, one still standing, proclaim her visionary reign.

Two kilometers away, arrive at the Temple of Luxor, connected to Karnak by a restored avenue of sphinxes. This sanctuary, dedicated to Amun, served as the setting for the Opet festival, a procession that renewed the pharaoh’s divine power. Reliefs depict Alexander the Great (332 BC) as pharaoh, uniting Greece and Egypt in stone. The guide points out the courtyard of Amenhotep III, with papyrus-like columns, and the Abu Haggag Mosque, a witness to centuries. Can you imagine the torchlight of the Opet festival?

Each hieroglyph tells a story of power and faith.

 

After the visits, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. Return to Luxor in the afternoon, your heart filled with pharaonic grandeur.
