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 “most select of places” by ancient Egyptians.
Luxor Temple, located on the east bank of the Nile River, was built to celebrate Egypt's Opet Festival. “Most of the temple of Luxor in its present state was built by Amenhotep III (c. 1410–1372) in three phases,”
The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut was known in antiquity as Djeser-Djeseru or the Holy of Holies. As with other grand Egyptian monuments, the purpose of the temple was to pay homage to the Gods and chronicle the glorious reign of its builder. The temple was commissioned in 1479 BCE and took around 15 years to complete
Used as a burial chamber for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, the Valley of the Kings was used for royal burials for the Kings, their families, and their possessions. In 1979, it became a World Heritage Site, as well as the rest of the Theban Necropolis.
The original function of the Colossi was to stand guard at the entrance to Amenhotep's memorial temple (or mortuary temple). The temple was a massive construct built during the pharaoh's lifetime where he was worshipped as a god-on-earth both before and after his departure from this world.

We decided to take a day trip to Luxor and adding this tour was an excellent idea. Our tour guide waited for us at the entrance of the airport and guided us to the car. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Luxor was beautiful and listening to the history added to the experience. Also, the driver was a gentleman and would always open the door for me.
