This trip takes you to two of Egypt’s most impressive ancient sites. You’ll be accompanied by an expert Egyptologist to Karnak Temple first. Karnak, one of the world’s biggest religious sites, is actually a whole complex of temples, sanctuaries, lakes, and chapels. You’ll be led through the 134 pillars that climb for 24 metres above the Great Hypostyle Hall. You’ll stand in the shadows of the pointy obelisks. And, you’ll spot the complex’s intriguing ram-headed sphinxes. In the age of the pharaohs, an avenue lined with hundreds of similar sphinxes connected Karnak to nearby Luxor Temple. Today, it’s just a short drive away and, once you get off the coach, you’ll be met with the temple’s striking façade. One of two original obelisks and a pair of massive statues of Ramesses II flank the entrance to the temple. Inside, your guide will bring the hieroglyphics on the walls to life as you wander through the huge corridors.
