LUXOR &
KARNAK TEMPLES
Egypt's spiritual capital, Luxor, is an
enthralling blend of historic significance,
architectural feats and vibrant market
culture, characterised by its temples and
richly decorated tombs. Often referred
to as one of the world's greatest open
air museums, historic Luxor, built upon
the once-powerful city of UNESCO-listed
Thebes, is home to the imposing Temple
of Karnak—among the world's largest
temple complexes—and the well-
preserved Temple of Luxor, a spectacular
example of Egyptian architecture.
ABU SIMBEL
Step into Egypt's storied past at the
impressive Abu Simbel, where the
monolithic temples of Ramses II were
constructed in the 13th century BC.
Rediscovered in the early 19th century,
this UNESCO World Heritage Site was
relocated in stages between 1964
and 1968 during the Aswan Dam's
construction. Join the optional excursion
to marvel at the colossal statues and
intricate bas-reliefs depicting Ramses II's
victories and divine connections.
