2 hoursTemple of Karnak
The Temple/Complex of Karnak was the great god’s chief sanctuary and much larger than any other monument in Egypt. It lies about 3km north of Luxor Temple. This huge and splendid complex which actually contains many separate temples covers 1700 years of expansion and an area of 300 acres. Beneath its giant architraves and between the bulky columns and wall reliefs are records of its growth from a modest Middle Kingdom shrine to a magnificent temple of vast proportions. It owes a column to one pharaoh, a pylon to another; an inspiration here, a whim there. But each has the sole purpose of honoring the god Amun-Re, who would then ensure the builder a long, powerful, and glorious life.
2 hoursLuxor Temple
Day 7: Luxor - Hurghada
1 hourValley of the Kings
The story of the Valley of the Kings begins when the pharaohs ceased building new pyramids. Therefore pharaohs decided to separate their tombs from their mortuary temples. The first pharaoh to do so was Tuthmosis I. His chief architect Ineni excavated a shaft tomb in a lonely ravine, cut a steep stairway into the rock, and at its bottom the burial chamber; this plan was followed by all the later pharaohs.
2 hoursTemple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
Through building projects, Hatshepsut assured divine favor and prosperity for her and her people; she proved that she was a responsible ruler securing the best for Egypt. Queen Hatshepsut, more a patron of the arts than a military leader, ordered a funerary monument for her father Tuthmosis I, and for herself and chose an impervious valley already consecrated to the goddess Hathor who, in the form of a heifer, received the deceased in the underworld. Queen Hatshepsut’s monument was in later times abandoned, at a certain point in history it became a Christian convent called the Convent of the North, and this fact not only gave the area its present name of Deir El-Bahari but also preserved the pharaonic temple from further destruction.
