2025 Egypt – Day 8 – Karnak Temple

Karnak Temple – The Eternal Sanctuary of Amun-Ra and the Heart of Ancient Thebes

Among the grand monuments of ancient Egypt, few command the scale, complexity, and spiritual depth of the Karnak Temple Complex. Located in the modern city of Luxor, once known as Thebes, Karnak is not just a single temple, but a sprawling religious compound built and expanded over more than 2,000 years. As the most significant temple site in ancient Egypt, Karnak reflects the full breadth of Egyptian religious, political, and artistic evolution.

2025 Egypt – Day 2 – Cairo

The Giza Pyramids – Eternal Symbols of Ancient Egypt

The Pyramids of Giza stand as timeless monuments to ancient Egypt’s engineering, religion, and royal power. Located on the western edge of modern-day Giza, a bustling city now integrated into Greater Cairo, these ancient structures rest on the edge of the Sahara Desert, rising dramatically above the fertile Nile Valley below.

Together with the Great Sphinx, nearby tombs, temples, and subsidiary pyramids, the Giza Plateau forms one of the most iconic and historically significant archaeological sites in the world. It is a place where millennia-old stone speaks of forgotten kings, celestial alignments, and architectural ambition on a scale the world had never seen before.
