Karnak Temple

Karnak Temple is the largest religious complex ever built in ancient Egypt and one of the most awe-inspiring sites in Luxor. Dedicated primarily to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, construction spanned more than 2,000 years, with contributions from successive pharaohs. Covering over 200 acres, it includes towering pylons, sacred lakes, chapels, and obelisks. The highlight is the Great Hypostyle Hall, an immense forest of 134 colossal columns decorated with vivid hieroglyphs that create a breathtaking atmosphere. Walking through Karnak feels like entering a city of temples, each corner revealing a story of devotion, power, and artistry. The temple also served as the center of grand festivals, including the famous Opet Festival, when statues of the gods were carried in procession to Luxor Temple. A visit to Karnak is not just about history—it’s an encounter with the grandeur and spiritual heart of ancient Egypt.

Luxor Temple

Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the modern city, is one of the most elegant monuments of ancient Egypt. Built mainly by Pharaoh Amenhotep III and later expanded by Ramses II, it was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Unlike other temples, Luxor Temple was not dedicated to a god in isolation but played a central role in the annual Opet Festival, when the statues of the gods were paraded from Karnak to Luxor to celebrate fertility and renewal. Its grand entrance, once flanked by six massive statues of Ramses II and tall obelisks, leads into beautiful courts, towering columns, and richly decorated chambers. Over the centuries, it became a layered site of history, later housing a Roman chapel and even a mosque still in use today. Illuminated at night, Luxor Temple offers a magical experience where ancient grandeur meets timeless beauty.

End of Tour with Opportunity for Pictures

At the end of the tour, enjoy some free time to take photos and capture the beauty of the temple at your own pace. Your guide will be happy to help you find the best spots for memorable pictures before we begin the return journey.

About Tour Guide Ali S.

I am an English-speaking, licensed Egyptologist tour guide, born and raised in Luxor, with a true passion for sharing the treasures of my hometown and country with visitors from around the world. With years of experience working for leading international tour companies, I specialize in guiding travelers through Luxor and Upper Egypt, while also offering tours in Luxor, Aswan, Edfu, KomOmbo, Dendera, and Abydos, as well as other remarkable sites across Egypt.


I believe that the finest monuments and stories of Egypt are found here in Upper Egypt, and it is my joy to bring this history and culture to life. For me, a tour guide is not simply a narrator but a storyteller — like an actor delivering a powerful message — who inspires guests through creativity, knowledge, and enthusiasm.


I offer tailor-made trips for individuals, families, and groups, carefully designed to match your interests and budget. Whenever possible, I personally accompany my guests to ensure a memorable experience. If another guide is required, I recommend only trusted colleagues who share the same high standards of professionalism and expertise.


Guiding is not only my profession but also my passion: meeting new people, uncovering the wonders of Egyptian archaeology, showcasing authentic daily life, and creating unforgettable journeys through one of the world’s greatest civilizations.


Let me help you experience the real Egypt—safely, comfortably, and memorably. I look forward to being your guide!

Fantastic West Bank tour with a brilliant guide!

We had a wonderful day exploring the West Bank tombs and templed in Luxor with our guide, Ali. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, bringing each site to life with fascinating stories and insights. Ali was also kind, patient, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. It was an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the West Bank with me. It was a real pleasure sharing the history and stories of these incredible sites with you. I’m glad you felt comfortable and had such a memorable experience. Your kind words mean a lot — thank you for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back to Luxor again soon for more discoveries!

Highlights of Aswan

We highly recommend this tour with Ali. Ali’s knowledge of the sites and their history, both past and present, was outstanding. He was able to answer any questions and he explained everything very clearly in excellent English. The tour was very well organised and fun too. We also carried out the Luxor full day tour with Ali and had an equally enjoyable experience and the two days gave us great insight into Egyptian culture. We highly recommend booking a tour with Ali if you are visiting Aswan!

I truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again someday to explore even more of Egypt! Warm regards, Ali

Excellent Luxor Tour. Top Guide

We had an incredible tour in Luxor with Ali. He was absolutely amazing, extremely knowledgeable and spoke excellent English, which made everything easy to understand and brought the history to life. He was also very flexible with the arrangements, tailoring the experience to our holiday plans. There was plenty of communication beforehand to ensure the trip met our needs and he went over and above in organising a taxi for us to Aswan, where we also did the Aswan full day tour with Ali. He made the two days very enjoyable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor.
