Luxor East Bank Tour
Overview
With Cairo Top Tours you will enjoy an unforgettable visit to the city of Luxor, where you will be provided with a comprehensive introduction to the history of ancient Thebes and its significance during the New Kingdom as Egypt's political and religious center.
Our excursion today takes us to the east bank of Luxor where we will have the opportunity to explore two of the most important temples in the history of Egypt:
Karnak Temple: It is considered the most important, largest and oldest temple in the world, and it is the largest house of worship in human history, and it is called “Karnak Temples” because it includes 11 temples inside it, not one temple as rumored, and it was called in the ancient Egyptian civilization, the temples (Amun Ra Sigem Naht). Where it was built to be a house of worship for the holy trinity of Thebes, and this trinity consists of the god “Amun”, his wife ‘Mot’ and their son, the god “Khonsu”, as the temple in its current form reaches an area of more than 247 acres and is thus recorded as the largest and oldest house of worship in the world today.
Temple of Luxor: It was built during the reign of King Amenhotep III to worship the god Amun-Ra, in addition to confirming his lineage to the god Amun, as ancient Pharaonic traditions urged that one of the sons of a former pharaoh should rule Egypt, or at least marry the daughter of a former pharaoh who had ruled Egypt, and unfortunately Amenhotep III did not meet either of the two conditions, so his men and his loyal followers advised him to build a huge temple to glorify and worship the god Amun-Ra, to confirm his lineage to him so that he could rule Egypt, and indeed Amenhotep III achieved exactly what he wanted and was able to rule Egypt, The "Road of the Rams," which leads to the temples, is lined with statues of an animal that the pharaohs used as a symbol of strength. The temples in Karnak were built starting in the 11th Dynasty, around 2134 BC. They were surrounded by mud-brick walls connected by corridors guarded by statues of the Sphinx in two rows.
