Meet your guide at Safaga Port and drive 140 miles to Luxor, home to Egypt’s most iconic monuments. Begin at the majestic Karnak Temple, dedicated to Amun Ra. Walk through the impressive Great Hypostyle Hall, surrounded by towering, hieroglyph-covered columns. See the 70-foot granite obelisks and colossal statues of pharaohs, then admire the reliefs and murals added by generations of rulers who left their mark on this sacred site.

In ancient times, Karnak and Luxor Temples were connected by the Avenue of Ram-Headed Sphinxes, where Amun-Ra was carried annually to visit his consort Mut. Over the centuries, Luxor Temple evolved through many civilizations, with each leaving its trace. Its walls display Pharaonic, Greek, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic influences, creating a vivid timeline of Egypt’s layered history.
