You will be picked up from your hotel to start our tour. Visit with us the Luxor Temple, whose walls Ramses II used to engrave the Battle of Kadesh, of which he was always proud. The temple also shows us how the Opet celebration was held.
See and learn about the elements of Karnak, including: Festival Hall :It is a hypostyle hall with 20 columns studded with text in the middle. There were also 32 square pillars around the room. There were also claustrated windows. On this room's walls and columns, the Copts left remnants of crosses and saints' drawings.
Botanical Garden Hall
This room is the most important; it is called "the Botanical Garden." It is decorated with reliefs of exotic plants and animals from Asia.
Seventh Pylon
The Seventh Pylon marked the beginning of the southern processional route of the Temple of Amun-Ra; it was erected by Thutmose III. On the south side of the pylon, the entrance was flanked by two enormous sculptures of Thutmose III. Just south of the sculptures were two obelisks made of pink granite. Scenes of Thutmose III striking a group of prisoners were painted on the pylon's two piers.
The courtyard of this pylon was called the "Courtyard of the Hiding Place" because in Greco-Roman times, a large quantity of stone and metal statues were buried here in a huge pit. They were discovered in 1903 during excavations of the temple by Georges Legrain.
