A private East Bank tour of Karnak's vast hall of columns and the graceful riverside Luxor Temple, connected by the ancient Avenue of Sphinxes.
The two great temples of Luxor's East Bank tell the story of the god Amun and the pharaohs who honored him. At Karnak you walk through the Hypostyle Hall, a forest of 134 giant columns, and past obelisks, sacred lakes and towering pylons added by generations of kings.
Luxor Temple, a short drive south, glows in the late afternoon light. Once linked to Karnak by a nearly three-kilometer Avenue of Sphinxes, it is one of the most atmospheric temples to visit as the sun goes down.
