Overview
Step into the ancient city of Thebes, where the gods walked among kings and
power was carved in sandstone.
This LokalWalkers half-day experience explores the East Bank of Luxor, home
to the two most iconic temples in Upper Egypt: the majestic Temple of Karnak
— the largest religious complex ever built — and the elegant Temple of Luxor,
glowing with divine energy and layered with pharaonic, Greco-Roman, and
Islamic history.
Led by an expert guide or Egyptologist, you’ll uncover the sacred geometry,
hidden chapels, colossal statues, and the restored Avenue of Sphinxes
connecting the two sites. It’s a short journey into the eternal — and a powerful
introduction to Luxor’s spiritual heart.
