In the "City of the Living", on the east bank of the Nile, you will visit the archaeological open-air museum: the largest temple complex of the ancient world and the main state sanctuary of the New Kingdom.
At Karnak, everything is the greatest. The largest temple in the world, the largest hypostyle hall on the planet, the largest obelisk on Earth 1.5 km by 700 m of ancient monumental building!
Trace the history of the formation of the ensemble, which was founded in the 20th century BC and has been continuously built up for two thousand years. Explore the symbolism of the main monuments, understand the power of the priestly cult and see how the pharaohs strove to surpass the greatness of their predecessors.
The Karnak temple complex takes travelers back to the triumph of Thebes, to the period of the New Kingdom. This interval is the highest rise not only of the capital, but of all ancient Egypt.

Valley of the Kings

Let's talk about what were the ancient Egyptians beliefs about the afterlife, on what principles were created tombs, and of course, not ignore the history of their discovery.

The main architectural feature of this monumental structure are the three terraces one above the other, each with an open courtyard, covered rooms with pilasters, and sanctuaries hidden in the depths of the mountain. Hatshepsut is one of the most famous figures in the history of ancient Egypt; here she is referred to as the Iron Ruler!

The Singing Colossi of Memnon
At the two grandiose statues - 18 meters high and weighing 700 tons each - you will hear the history of the monuments erected at the temple of King Amenhoteb III, which has not survived. Learn the origin of their name and the legends that made the colossi famous back in ancient times.
