Itinerary

First, explore the sprawling Karnak Temple complex, an open-air museum dedicated to the Theban Triad. This vast site, the second-largest ancient religious complex globally, is a treasure trove of temples, chapels, pylons, and other structures, all dedicated to the worship of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Next, discover the grandeur of Luxor Temple, believed to have been the venue for ancient Egyptian festivals. The temple walls depict scenes of these celebrations, offering a glimpse into the vibrant past. You'll also encounter the Abu Al-Haggag mosque, built upon the ruins of a church that was itself constructed within the temple. Conclude your tour with a visit to the impressive Luxor Museum, housing a remarkable collection of antiquities from the Old Kingdom to the Mamluk period. These artifacts, primarily sourced from the Theban temples and necropolis, provide a rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian history and culture.
