Resplan
Börja dagen med ett besök i Karnaktemplen. Gå längs Avenue of Sphinx för att komma in i komplexet när din guide förklarar hur den massiva fasaden konstruerades. När du går in i Karnaks tempel kommer du att se varje arv som de olika faraonerna lämnat efter sig när komplexet växte sig ännu större. Ju djupare du går in i komplexet, desto längre tillbaka i tiden kommer du att resa, med de äldsta ruinerna som går tillbaka över 3 000 år. När du går genom Great Court in i Great Hypostyle Hall, är det svårt att inte bli överväldigad av de 134 kolonnerna som tornar upp sig som en gammal skog. På baksidan av komplexet hittar du den heliga sjön där faraoner och deras offer till gudarna renades för århundraden sedan. Efter en rundtur i komplexet har du ytterligare ledig tid att utforska på fritiden.
Fortsätt till Luxor-templet som en gång förenades med templen i Karnak av en två kilometer lång sfinxaveny, varav en del markerar ingången till templet. Luxortemplet domineras av statyer av den store krigarfaraon Ramses II och har överlevt Nilens översvämningar, utländska invasion och tusentals år utsatt för väder och vind. Ett rent egyptiskt tempel, de inre väggarna och kolonnerna är dekorerade med intrikata hieroglyfer som din guide hjälper dig att tyda. Ta reda på hur Alexander den Store skrev in sig i Luxor-templets historia och se en av de ursprungliga obelisker, varav den andra nu står på Place de la Concorde i Paris.

You cannot go to Egypt and not see Karnak and Luxor Temples. Hotel pickup went smoothly. I'm not sure it's always the case, but we had a private guide all to ourselves.
Guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable. We were very impressed and we truly enjoyed our tour.
Egypt Tailor Made Tours picked us up from the airport and we dove right into sight seeing! We saw the Luxor East Bank Temples which were beautiful. We did an early morning tour and it was wonderful because the the temples were empty and it was before the heat of the day. They made sure we had plenty of water and snacks for our tour. After the tour they made sure we got checked into our hotel with no issues. We had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the pool for the afternoon. HIGHLY recommend Egypt Tailor Made Tours!!
<p>This was a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable!</p>
<p>Highly recommend this tour. Great way to explore on your own or with the guide.</p>
Although this is an expensive one day trip, it's worth every dollar. Our guide Hady was fantastic; professional, knowledgable, friendly and a fun companion for the day. We could have never have seen all of this on our own or in a big group tour. We were able to tailor the tour to the specifics of what we wanted to see, and how long we wanted to visit certain sights.
<p>Fantastic guide with a passion for the history of these wonderful places. Can't wait to go back.</p>
<p>Yes! A visit to Egypt is not complete if you don't experience Luxor and Karnak. There is so much important history there, it's hard to take it all in. I'd recommend reading up about these temples just a bit so you can better understand what the knowledgeable guide tells you. Since so many pharaohs built here, you may want to ask your guide to spend more time in a certain area. Incredibly cool! I definitely recommend taking this tour.</p>
<p>An excellent way to spend half the day touring these two temples. Karnak is an incredible complex, taking 2000 years to build, with many great stories inside on how things worked there. Luxor temple was also very interesting, even though there are a some very interesting architectural mistakes worth seeing. Must see places in Luxor, very well worth the visit!</p>
<p>We have booked the afternoon tour to Karnak and Luxor temples. We were picked up from our hotel in Luxor by our guide, a vibrant young man, baseem, who explained the history of these temples in great detail.<br/> The vast courtyards, the huge pillars of the great halls with intricate carvings on them, the statuesof Ramses ll, the rows of Sphinxes at entrance of Luxor temple impressed us very much. We gaped in wonder how the people of ancient Egypt constructed those Hypostyle hall with huge columns.<br/> All in all, our journey throughly these temples became lively with the help of our guide as he had a great knowledge of the history of ancient Egypt.<br/> I would recommend everyone to visit these places or the tour of Egypt will remain incomplete.</p>
