At 8 am, a driver will come to your hotel to transport you to the Hurghada airport. You will board an aircraft there to travel to Luxor. Your tour guide will greet you when you arrive and take you to the Luxor East Bank Tour. Our Hurghada day trips will begin with visits to the temples of Luxor and Karnak. The first place we will go is the Luxor Temple, which was built in honor of the Theban Triad—Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonsu. About 1250 BCE, Ramses II constructed it as a component of his burial complex.
Son of King Seti I, Ramses was a brilliant Pharaoh who led the Hittites to utter defeat in the legendary Battle of Qadesh, which prompted the Hittites to demand the most well-known peace pact in ancient history.
Next, we'll travel to the Karnak Temple, which is thought to be the most important religious complex ever constructed globally. Numerous events, such as the Feast of Min and Opet Festival, are held there as well. It is situated on the western side of the Nile River, on the east bank of Thebes (Luxor). The temples were constructed by the New Kingdom's pharaohs in honor of Amon-Re, the deity of gods and monarch of kings, and his spouse Mut, the goddess of war and love. It consists of a large outer court with almost 2,000 columns and an enormous hypostyle hall with 134 columns.
