Itinerary

Our expert Egyptologist Tour Guide will meet you at the house for a short car ride or walk to the Nile River where you will board a felucca to cross over to the East Bank.

You will begin your day by visiting the Temple of Karnak, the largest temple ever built in Egypt. The complex construction started during the reign of Senusret I (1971–1926 BC) in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period (332-30 BC).

Enjoy walking through ram’s head sphinxes, the Great Pylons, the Grand Hypostyle hall with 134 columns, the enormous obelisks, the sanctuary of Philip III Arrhidaeus of Macedon, The Akh Menu of Tuthmosis III (1479–1425 BC) and the beautiful sacred lake at Karnak where you can stop for a snack and cup of tea.

Towards the back of the site is the Temple of Ptah where you may be able to view a remarkable statue of the Goddess Sekhmet.

From Karnak you will take a horse-drawn carriage to Luxor Temple. You will enjoy a magnificent view of the Avenue of the Sphinxes that stretches between Karnak and Luxor Temples.
Luxor Temple is located in the city center and was built by Amenhotep III (1386 to 1349 BC) and Ramses II (1290 –1223 BC) while other pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hormohep and Alexander the Great added to the Temple’s construction.

You may want some free time to enjoy the city center or spend more time in the temples before returning to the felucca to cross the Nile and return to the quiet sanctuary of the house.
