The Karnak Temple Complex is a massive assemblage of deteriorating temples, pylons, chapels, and other structures near Luxor, Egypt. Karnak derives its name from the Arabic term Khurnaq, which meaning “walled settlement.”
The majority of the complex’s surviving constructions date from the reign of Senusret I (reigned 1971-1926 BCE) (roughly 2000-1700 BCE).
During the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt, the area surrounding Karnak was known as Ipet-isut (“The Most Selected of Places”), and it served as the main temple for the Theban Triad, led by the god Amun.
It was added on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979, together with the rest of the great city of Thebes.
The Hatshepsut funerary temple, also known as the Temple of the Holy of Holies (Egyptian: sr-srw), was constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut during the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
This structure is a must-see for everyone interested in ancient architecture and is located across the Nile from Luxor.
Its three huge terraces loom over the dunes below, carved into the Deir el-Bahari cliffs. El Qurn, her pyramidal mausoleum, is situated atop the same mountain range as her grave, KV20. The valley temple is located one kilometre to the east of the main complex and is connected to it by a causeway. The entire building stands in direct opposition to Hatshepsut’s most famous addition to the Temple of Karnak, the huge Eighth Pylon.
“dme” (also written “dme” in Arabic) and “Wd al-Mulk” are the Coptic and Arabic names for the Valley of the Kings, respectively. The Valley of the Kings (Arabic: Wd Abwb al-Mulk) is an Egyptian valley where rock-cut tombs of New Kingdom pharaohs and great nobles were dug over more than 500 years, from the 16th to 11th century BC (the Eighteenth to Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).
Lunch will be served at a Nile-view restaurant, and we will take Felouka to cross the river. We will also make an optional shop stop and incorporate a boat ride per guest request!
The Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are two massive stone sculptures of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that stood in front of the now-destroyed Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the greatest temple in the Theban Necropolis. These sites were known to the Greeks, Romans, early modern explorers, and Egyptologists since they had stood since 1350 BC.
107 Greek and Latin inscriptions were carved into the sculptures between the years 20 and 250 AD; many of these inscriptions refer to the Greek mythological ruler Memnon, whom the statue was incorrectly supposed to portray at the time.
Experts disagree on how the Greek name for the entire Theban Necropolis, the Memnonium, connects to the identification of the northern colossus as “Memnon.”
