Your professional Egyptologist guide shall accompany you while you discover the East Bank's treasures, where ancient history comes alive. Start with Karnak Temple Complex.

After that, you shall be headed to the majestic Luxor Temple further in the city, once connected with Karnak through the grand Avenue of the Sphinxes. Unlike other temples that were built for the worship of a particular deity, the Luxor Temple was used as a sanctuary for the royal ka-spirit, and for festivals and rituals related to the concept of kingship.

Finally, get set to visit the Luxor Museum, the jewel of Upper Egypt, perfect for those with a love for history.
