Sightseeing in Luxor from Hurghada |
|
|
Take a tour of the Valley of the Kings where the pharaohs lie and visit the ancient Karnak Temples
| Overview | |
|
Take a trip to the seven thousand year old Karnak Temples in Luxor - one of the largest temple complexes in history. See the Luxor temple, dedicated to the god Amon Ra, built in the time of Amenhotep II and Ramesses II and learn about religion in ancient Egypt. At the entrance to this temple are two huge statues of the king sitting on his throne. Two obelisks flanked the approach to the temple although one of them now stands at the Concorde Square in Paris. Don't miss out the Valley of the Kings where tombs were built for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. Most of the tombs follow a similar pattern of architecture - three corridors, an antechamber and a sunken sarcophagus chamber.
