LUXOR

Sitting on the banks of the Nile and the location of Thebes, the 4000 year old site of the ancient capital of the New Kingdom. Visiting Luxor is like visiting an open air museum as it is home to both the Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak, the largest of the remaining Nile temples. Luxor’s West Bank also boasts the Valley of the Kings.

Karnak Temple

Karnak Temple

Karnak Temple is located in the city of Luxor. The complex comprises a vast array of temples, chapels and pylons which soar over 10 meters into the air. The most notable part of the complex is the Great Temple of Amun and a massive structure that the Pharaoh Ramses II started to build before his downfall. It is the largest temple complex ever built by man and represents the combined achievements of many generations of ancient builders. The Temple is an amazing open-air museum.
