Temple Majesty: Private Karnak & Luxor Temple Tour Plan
Luxor Temple: Begin your exploration at Luxor Temple, a quintessential example of ancient Egyptian temple architecture. Constructed during the reigns of the 18th and 19th dynasties, this temple showcases stunning reliefs and colossal columns. Walk along the historical Avenue of Sphinxes, which linked Luxor Temple to Karnak during the Opet Festival, a significant religious event in ancient times.
Temple of Karnak: Continue to the Temple of Karnak, known as the largest religious building ever built. Over 1300 years, pharaohs added to this monumental complex dedicated to the Theban triad: Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Explore its extensive chapels, towering pylons, and majestic obelisks. The Great Hypostyle Hall, with its vast forest of massive columns, is particularly breathtaking and a highlight of any visit.
