Begin your journey at the majestic Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious complexes in the world. Enter through the First Gate, which marks the grand entrance to the temple. Explore the awe-inspiring Great Hypostyle Hall, featuring 134 towering columns, some over 80 feet tall. Visit the famous Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and King Thutmose I and discover the sacred Holy of Holies, where the most important rituals were performed. Conclude your visit with a stop at the Sacred Lake and the ancient scarab statue, believed to bring good luck.
Next, head to the beautifully preserved Luxor Temple, located along the banks of the Nile. Marvel at the Obelisk of Ramses II, standing proudly at the entrance, and explore the Great Hall with its impressive statues of Ramses II. Walk through the Colonnade of Amenhotep III, featuring intricately carved columns. Don’t miss the Chapel of Alexander the Great, a later addition to the temple, and the sacred Holy of Holies, where the gods were believed to dwell.
Cross to the West Bank and visit the grand Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to one of Egypt's most powerful female pharaohs. Admire the temple’s stunning terraces built into the cliffs and learn about Hatshepsut’s reign, during which she expanded Egypt’s influence through trade and diplomacy. This temple stands as a testament to her lasting legacy and innovative architectural vision.
Continue to the Temple of Medinet Habu, a hidden gem and one of the best-preserved temples in Luxor. Built by Ramesses III, the temple is known for its detailed wall carvings that depict his military victories and battles. Explore the complex and learn about the temple's significance during the New Kingdom, as it served as a religious and administrative center.
End your West Bank tour with a visit to the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
