The tour leader will pick you up from your hotel or Luxor Airport in a private air-conditioned vehicle will start your Luxor experience. Your professional Egyptologist guide shall accompany you while you discover the East Bank's treasures, where ancient history comes alive. Start with Karnak Temple Complex. Spanning over 1,000,000 square meters, this temple complex underwent development for more than 2,000 years.
After that, you shall be headed to the majestic Luxor Temple further in the city, once connected with Karnak through the grand Avenue of the Sphinxes. Unlike other temples that were built for the worship of a particular deity, the Luxor Temple was used as a sanctuary for the royal ka-spirit, and for festivals and rituals related to the concept of kingship. Have awe filling you as you look over the massive statues of Ramses II at the temple's entrance and be impressed by the airy temple courtyards that reflect the evolution of Egyptian architecture from the New Kingdom right up to the Greco-Roman period.
Finally, get set to visit the Luxor Museum, the jewel of Upper Egypt, perfect for those with a love for history. Even though this is much smaller when compared to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the Luxor Museum displays a small and highly selective, beautiful collection of artifacts from the Theban area. Highlights include the statues from the Karnak cachette, the remarkably well-preserved mummy of Pharaoh Ahmose I, and a reconstructed wall from Akhenaten's temple with some rare Amarna-style artwork.
