Day Tour to Karnak and Luxor temples

Experience a Private Guided Half-Day Tour to the Majestic Karnak and Luxor Temples

Embark on a private half-day tour to explore the remarkably well-preserved Karnak and Luxor Temples, two of the most iconic landmarks of ancient Thebes.

Karnak Temple – The House of Amun-Ra

Accompanied by an expert Egyptologist guide from egyptivotours, begin your journey at Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in the world and the sacred house of Amun-Ra, the chief deity of Thebes.

Spanning 200 acres, Karnak Temple is a breathtaking masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture. Walk through its massive pylons and marvel at the Great Hypostyle Hall, which boasts the largest collection of decorated columns, adorned with intricate papyrus and lotus capitals. Your tour will conclude at the sanctuary, built over 3,450 years ago by Queen Hatshepsut.

Karnak Temple was once connected to Luxor Temple by the Avenue of Sphinxes, where the grand Opet Festival took place—a magnificent celebration that saw ancient Egyptians parading between the two temples.

Luxor Temple – A Legacy of the Great Pharaohs

Next, continue your journey 1.5 miles south to Luxor Temple, an architectural marvel built by the legendary kings Ramses II and Amenhotep III. Here, you will witness the colossal statues of Ramses II and his magnificent obelisk, standing as testaments to his reign.

For a truly magical experience, egyptivotours offers tailored visits, whether during the day or at sunset, each offering a unique perspective of this awe-inspiring site.
