Dagtour Karnak- en Luxortempel

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.

Karnak en de Luxortempel zijn de essentiële bezienswaardigheden op de oostoever waarvoor de meeste bezoekers naar Luxor komen.
