- Hurghada - Guests will be collected from their hotel in Hurghada and transported to Luxor in a deluxe, air-conditioned vehicle to visit the renowned Karnak Temple, the largest place of worship ever constructed. Its ancient name, Ipet-isut, translates to “the most sacred of places.” This temple, or more accurately, the complex of temples, was erected over two millennia by successive generations of pharaohs.

Karnak Temple in Luxor is one of Egypt’s largest religious temples, dedicated to the worship of the sun god Amun Ra. It also honors the divine triad of Amun Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. Situated in eastern Luxor, the temple spans approximately 60 acres and houses relics from the ancient Wadala eras, around 3000 BC, as well as the Middle Kingdom. The temple’s golden age was during the Middle Kingdom, around 1500 BC, under the reign of powerful Egyptian rulers such as Ramesses II, Hatshepsut, Tutankhamun, Thutmose III, and others. Karnak Temple is celebrated for its remarkable architecture, planning, inscriptions, drawings, and ancient Pharaonic scenes.
