Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples

At the time we mentioned, our expert tour guide will pick you up to start your tour experience.

Start your tour by visiting the Karnak Temple Complex, which comprises a vast mix of ruined temples, chapels, pylons and other buildings near Luxor. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusert I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the existing buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the main place of worship of the Eighteenth Dynasty Theban Triad, with Amun at its head.
Then drive to Luxor Temple, which was constructed approximately 1400 BC. It was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship. At the rear of the temple are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area. During the Roman period, a chapel inside Luxor Temple, originally dedicated to Mut, was transformed into a Tetrarchy cult chapel and later into a church.

After finishing, return to your start point.
