The temple was built on three levels with two wide ramps in a central position joining the levels together. After that, you'll see the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of King Amenhotep III, the only remains of a complete mortuary temple. The statues are made from blocks of quartzite sandstone that exist in Cairo, then moved 700 KM to Luxor. The two statues, known as the Colossi of Memnon, rise about 18 M from the plain. They are the remains of what was once the largest complex on the West Bank, built by Amenhotep III. Around noon, you'll take a break and have lunch in a local restaurant in Luxor. We'll make sure to provide you with a delicious meal that caters to your dietary needs. After lunch, you'll visit the Temple of Karnak, the largest ancient religious site known anywhere in the world.

The Temple of Karnak is actually three main temples situated on 247 acres of land. At the end of your tour, you'll be transferred by a private air-conditioned vehicle back to your hotel in Marsa Alam. We understand that you may be tired from the day's activities, so we'll make sure to provide you with an optional tour in a traditional Sailboat (Felucca) during the late afternoon – the perfect way to relax while watching the traditional rural life on the riverbank. Our tour package includes pick-up services from your hotel in Marsa Alam and return, entrance fees, all service charges and taxes, and a private tour guide.

History of Luxor

The city obtained several names during its long history. Luxor derives its name from Arabic, as the Arabs called it Al-Uqsur.

Thebes has a long history rooted back to the early development of Egyptian civilization. Luxor grew up as a small village when MemphiPeriodthe capital of ancient Egypt. Mount, the god of war, was worshipped in this city. However, the situation changed so obviously that Luxor became the capital of Egypt. Luxor reached its greatness in the 10th century BC during the New Kingdom. Luxor, then, knew the worship of the god Amun.

The city’s importance began as early as the eleventh Dynasty when the town became prosperous. The pharaoPerioduhotep II managed to unify Egypt after the troubles of the First Intermediate Period. There, the city became the new capital of this unified country. The military campaigns started from Thebes by the pharaohs of the New Kingdom. In short, from the 18th Dynasty until the twentieth Dynasty, the city became ancient Egypt’s political, religious and military capital.

However, the political and military importance of the city faded during the Late Period, as Thebes Periodplaced by several capitals in northern Egypt, such as Popastis, Cisse and finally Alexandria.

After the year 1811 AD, the year of the opening of the travel agency Thomas Cook, Luxor became a tourist destination. The city has become a holiday area and bustle for the English rich.

Thousands of tourists worldwide come annually to visit these monuments, which significantly contributes to the city’s modern economy.
