Places You'll Visit
The Karnak Temple Complex in Luxor, Egypt, is the largest ancient religious site in the world, centered on the Precinct of Amun-Re and built up over 2,000 years by successive pharaohs from the Middle Kingdom through the Ptolemaic period. Its hypostyle hall alone contains 134 columns, and the complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ancient Thebes.
Luxor Temple, on the east bank of the Nile in Luxor, Egypt, was built largely by Amenhotep III around 1400 BCE and later expanded by Ramesses II and other pharaohs. Dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, it was linked to Karnak Temple, 3 kilometers north, by the ceremonial Avenue of Sphinxes.

An excellent private tour to Luxor, visiting Karnak Temple, a Nile boat ride, and the Valley of the Kings. Despite the 50-degree heat, getting around was comfortable thanks to the air conditioning. Very well organized — wishing the team continued success and many more clients.
Good afternoon. I wanted to thank you for the Luxor + Dendera excursion we took on March 23, 2025. Nina was our guide. It was so fascinating and interesting — Nina even managed to get our teenage kids engaged. Thank you so much.
