Luxor Excursions
Egypt
You will be transferred by air-conditioned vehicle to visit Karnak Temple, the most outstanding example of worship in history. It was dedicated to the God Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. It was constructed from the beginning of the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman Kingdom. Hence, Karnak became a complex of 25 temples. Karnak is divided into three compounds: the precinct of Amun, the precinct of Mut, and the precinct of Montu; the largest is the precinct of Amun-Ra. This vast temple complex was the center of the ancient faith, while power was concentrated at Thebes (modern-day Luxor), and its significance is reflected in its massive size. In addition to its religious significance, it also served as a treasury, administrative center, and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs.
