Luxor Temple

luxor_temple_Egypt

Different than other temples in Luxor, the Luxor temple was not built in adoration to a god or to a god figure of the kings and pharaohs; instead, it was built in dedication to the rejuvenation of kingship. Many kings might have been crowned at the Temple of Luxor, whether crowned in reality or conceptually as in the case of Alexander the Great, who claimed he was crowned at Luxor although facts contradict appear that he had never traveled south of Memphis which is considered the modern city of Cairo.

Karnak Temple

Luxor Short Breaks

The Karnak Temple dates back from around 2055 BC to around 100 AD. It was built as a cult temple and was dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Being the largest building for religious purposes ever to be constructed, the Karnak Temple was known as the “most select of places” by ancient Egyptians.

During the New Kingdom, the Karnak Temple Complex was the center of the ancient faith while power was concentrated at Thebes (modern-day Luxor) and its significance is reflected in its enormous size.

In addition to its religious significance, it also served as a treasury, administrative center, and palace for the New Kingdom pharaohs. It is to this day considered the largest temple complex ever constructed anywhere in the world.

Valley of Kings.

valley of the kings

Start your day with an impressive breakfast meal, and then join our Egyptologist tour guide on a tour to visit the gorgeous Luxor tourist attractions starting with Its royal burials are located in the West Bank of Luxor which has 24 terrific royal tombs and in total 64 tombs according to the last discovery at 2008 to 2014.

It's the final resting place of Egypt's rulers from the 18th to the 20th dynasty; it is home to tombs including the great Pharaoh Ramses II and King Tutankhamun. The tombs were well stocked with all the material goods a ruler might need in the next world. Most of the decoration inside the tombs is still well-preserved.

Hatshepsut temple

Hatsheput temple

It is a mortuary temple at Deir El-Bahri. It was built by Queen Hatshepsut who is considered to be one of the most formidable women in Ancient Egypt.

The queen is distinguished as one of the most successful pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, but she was not the only female ruler in Egypt's history. Her reign was peaceful and prosperous and as a result, it witnessed a wide variety of achievements one of them was her own mortuary temple which commemorates all her great works on its walls.

Colossi of Memnon

On the return, the journey stops at the Colossi, of Memnon which are two gigantic sitting statues representing, Amenophis III facing the Nile.

 

Day 3: Edfu temple

 

Breakfast is on board. Visit the Temple of Horus in Edfu.

Horus Temple

Edfu_temple_Aswan_Egypt

The Temple of Horus at Edfu is widely considered to be the most impressive of all of the Nile-side temples along the journey between Luxor and Aswan. It is a required stop by all of the cruise ships that make the trip, also stopping at Esna and Kom Ombo.

Like at Esna, the temple at Edfu is a late construction. It was built during the Greco-Roman Period, but the builders painstakingly preserved the form of Egypt’s true pharaohs. As a result, a visit to Edfu allows you to see what all of the other ruined temples around Egypt might have looked like had they been built 2,000 years later.

Sail to Kom Ombo. Lunch is on board.

Kom Ombo

kom_ombo_temple_Aswan_Egypt

Along with Esna and Edfu, Kom Ombo is the third major stop that most of the Nile cruises between Luxor and Aswan make on their journey. Located only 30 miles north of Aswan, it is also easy to visit Kom Ombo however, The setting of this Temple of Sobek, the crocodile god, makes an approach by water the far superior way to visit this site. The temple is perched atop a picturesque bluff alongside the river and while there are no longer any crocodiles in the river or in the sacred lake inside the temple complex, this riverside temple is still worthy of a visit.

Like the other two sites between Luxor and Aswan, Kom Ombo dates from the Ptolemaic Dynasty and it was only completed under Roman rule. The temple has a dual dedication to Sobek, as well as Horus, and the plan of the temple reflects this dual purpose.

High Dam

When construction began on the High Dam in 1960, it was the most heralded part of President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s effort to develop Egypt for all Egyptians. While the dam is certainly not the largest in the world, it is an impressive engineering feat nonetheless, over 360 feet tall and 12,500 feet across.

The dam was completed in 1971 and the huge reservoir behind it, named for President Nasser, finished filling in 1979.

Temple of Philae
