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.
