East Bank Luxor Tour

Explore the East Bank of Luxor to see two of the most impressive temples in Upper Egypt - Karnak and Luxor. Walk along the Avenue of Sphinx to enter the complex, on entering the Temples of Karnak you will see each legacy left by the various pharaohs as the complex grew even larger. The deeper you go into the complex, the further back in time you will travel, with the oldest ruins dating back over 3,000 years. Walking through the Great Court into the Great Hypostyle Hall, it's hard not to be overwhelmed by the 134 columns towering above you like an ancient forest. At the rear of the complex you will find the sacred lake where centuries ago pharaohs and their offerings to the gods were purified. Continue to Luxor Temple, was built by Amenophis III on the foundations of a previous religious structure, it is a pure Egyptian temple, the inner walls and columns are decorated with intricate hieroglyphics. Find out how Alexander the Great wrote himself into Luxor Temple's history, and see one of the original pair of obelisk, the second of which now stands on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
