After getting off your Nile cruise, visit one of our memorable Egypt day tours in Luxor. To kickstart your tour on the East Bank of the Nile River, you should visit the Karnak Temple, which is regarded as the largest religious structure ever erected in history. This huge complex was committed primarily to the Theban triad. Being there, you will be impressed by the complex carvings of the wall that decorate it and provide information about the ancient battle scenes and offerings to the gods, which will tell you about the spiritual life of ancient Egyptians.
Then carry on your Egypt classic tours by visiting Luxor Temple, which is a magnificent monument that connects with Karnak through the ancient Avenue of the Sphinx. In contrast to Karnak, Luxor Temple had more ceremonial roles and hosted an annual event such as the Opet Festival. You will see how periods intermingle because there are some parts which are Roman influenced, with even a shrine to Emperor Augustus.
Then proceed to the Karnak Temple complex, an amazing collection of temples built over many centuries. Start with the Avenue of Sphinxes that served as a connection between Karnak and Luxor Temple. Hypostyle Hall, known for its 134 majestic columns, creates an impression of walking in a forest of rocks. In another part of the place, observe the obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III, a symbol of power and godliness. The Granite Scarab of Amenhotep III is supposed to bring good luck when you walk around it seven times; miss it. Near the temple stood the Sacred Lake, which served the purification rituals and indicated the larger splendour of the temples in the surroundings.
You will then be picked up and taken to the Luxor Airport, where you will take your flight back to Cairo after your tour. When you arrive at the Cairo International Airport, one of the representatives of Cairo Top Tours will meet you and take you to your hotel, where you will check in and refresh yourself.
