Your Itinerary

Temple of Karnak

The Karnak Temple, with its origins dating back to around 2055 BC and spanning until around 100 AD, holds immense historical and religious significance. This monumental complex was dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu and is revered as the largest religious building ever constructed. Ancient Egyptians held the Karnak Temple in such high esteem that it was referred to as the "most select of places." During the New Kingdom, it served as the focal point of the ancient faith, especially during the height of Thebes (modern-day Luxor) as a center of power. Apart from its religious role, the Karnak Temple complex also functioned as a treasury, administrative center, and palace for New Kingdom pharaohs. To this day, it stands as the largest temple complex ever built anywhere in the world. Your visit to this awe-inspiring site will last approximately 2 hours.

Admission Included

Luxor Temple

Situated on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor, the Luxor Temple is a testament to the grandeur of Ancient Egyptian civilization.

Distinguishing itself from other temples in Luxor, the Luxor Temple was not constructed to honor a particular god or pharaoh. Instead, it was dedicated to the concept of the rejuvenation of kingship. Many kings, whether in actuality or symbolically, underwent their coronation ceremonies at the Luxor Temple. Notably, Alexander the Great claimed to have been crowned at Luxor, even though historical records suggest that he had never ventured south of Memphis, the modern city of Cairo. Your exploration of the Luxor Temple will offer insights into its historical and symbolic significance and will last approximately 2 hours.
