Overnight Luxor Trips with Air Balloon

After breakfast, we will start with a hot air balloon ride to enjoy the view of Luxor from above. We move to the east bank, starting with Luxor Temple. Textual & archeological evidence indicate that a sanctuary stood on the site of Luxor temple or in its vicinity at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty. However, the temple we see today was essentially constructed by two kings: Ramses II (the exterior section) and Amenophis III (the inner half).

Several other rulers contributed to its relief decoration and inscriptions, adding minor structures or making alterations, chiefly Tutankhamon, Horemheb & Alexander the Great.

Next, we move to the Karnak Temple. We next proceed to the Temple of Karnak.  The Karnak Temple is very significant.  Apart from its significance as a place of worship, it served as the state's administrative hub and treasury.  It is now the biggest temple ever built in the world and served as a palace for the New Kingdom's pharaohs.  The Karnak Temple was constructed with the help of several civilisations. 

During the New Kingdom during the reigns of Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, and Ramesses II, it was constructed.  The temple's building continued into the Greco-Roman, Ptolemaic, and early Christian periods, although successive civilisations contributed their own additions.
