About
Karnak Temple, called by some “the Temple of Temples.” It is the largest place of worship ever built. Its ancient name Ipet-Isut means “the most sacred of places.” The temple, or, more correctly, the complex of temples, was built over more than two thousand years by generation after generation of pharaohs. Within the complex, the great “Hypostyle Hall” is an incredible forest of giant pillars covering an area larger than the whole of Notre Dame Cathedral.
The graceful Temple of Luxor built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II for ritual and festivals and dedicated to the god Amun

- Global4534470 contributionsGreat tourOur tour was great. Dina our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were given time to explore and take pictures. Thank you for a wonderful tour.Written October 1, 2024
- bruceg8250 contributionsAncient Egyptian historyVery nice private tour of the museum with the personal touch of our guide Mario. He was very helpful explaining more than what was written on the displays, giving us a more insightful knowledge of ancient Egyptian life. Thank you Mario.Written September 30, 2024
- Lauren L0 contributionsWonderful experience felt like I was treated like family! ❤️Greeted by Kyrillos and taken care of like I was family. Such a wonderful experience after a long day of travel. He had the form already filled out for me on arrival, handled my bags, and navigated me through all the checkpoints with ease.Written September 29, 2024
- frankbH8467PC0 contributionsGreat driver, very helpfulExcellent service, made our trip very easy. Highly recommend. Helped us at the airport and brought us to the hotel. Saved us lot of time!Written September 24, 2024
- 由香 有0 contributionsPerfect time in SaqqaraPerfect time in Saqqara! I think it was the most valuable time I spent in Egypt. I probably would not have had such a productive time in Saqqara if I had been alone. My guide's name is Hoda and she was a great guide. Her knowledge was great, I learned a lot, and she showed me all the murals I wanted to see. She was also very accommodating to my request for a different drop off location. She made me want to come back to Egypt again. Driver Atef was also great. 普段はレビューとかあんまり書かないんですがとてもとても良かったので書きたいと思います。ギザピラミッドよりサッカラに行った方がいい。サッカラの壁画は本当にみるべきものだと思います。Hodaさんという最高のガイドに会って欲しい。(英語だけですが)毎年新しく発掘されるものがあるという話も聞けて良かった。またエジプトに来ようと思います。本当に楽しい時間でした。Written September 24, 2024
- Curiosity136459969520 contributionsVIP meet and assistance on arrival at Cairo airport with hotel transferCan't recommend this experience more highly. A seamless experience with assistance with visas, security, our luggage and then a safe trip through Cairo traffic to our hotel. After more than 24 hours of travel this was well worth the cost. Thanks KyrillosWritten September 24, 2024
- Travailler20160 contributionsGreat experienceI visited this place on a weekend. Tickets are available at the entrance. Per tourist, it's 500 EGP. This place is most famous for its showcases, including some kings mummy It was not crowded for a Saturday and it isnt big. Worth to visit.Written September 21, 2024
- 346karynas0 contributionsGreat experience with Marios;)We had a great day with Mario and Mario:)) Interesting and non-trivial information that is presented in a funny way definitely marked our stay in Egypt. We especially liked the way Mario presented the history as a story, which was very interesting to listen to and easy to follow. He also answered a lot of our questions. On our way to the museum, we were shown some latest Egyptian hits, which were instantly added to our playlist. Thank you for showing us the ancient Egyptian culture and not forgetting about the modern one!Written September 20, 2024
- anamarieo2940 contributionsVery worth itAfter a terrible travel day, it was so nice to have a friendly face waiting for me once arriving in Cairo. Kyro was very friendly, efficient and educated me on the city while on the way to my hotel.Written September 13, 2024
- Cristian M0 contributionsExcellentGreat tour of Citadel and old Cairo by Mario and Kyro behind the wheel. Got picked up on time at hotel and first went toy he Egyptian Civilization museum where Mario gave a very detailed explanation of the acient Egypt. Then we went to Citaled where he showed me the on-site mosque and the tumb of Mohammed Ali along with his amhaiotry, very detailed which is expected from a very professional tour guide 100% recommendedWritten September 13, 2024
- Cristian M0 contributionsExcellentAn excellent tour of Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara and Memphis by Mario and Kyros in the wheel.

Camel ride was awesome, 100% recommendedWritten September 13, 2024
- gabriellekuzsel0 contributionsExcellent service and priority accessI definitely recommend this service! Our expeditor was waiting for us and swiftly guided us through the necessary steps. He purchased the visas ahead of time ( we reimbursed him in cash) and we went through all lines and checkpoints with priority access. He gathered our luggage, took care of getting it to his car, gave us cold water and drove us safely to our hotel all while telling us about the parts of Cairo we were driving through. I’d definitely recommend!Written September 11, 2024
- 47franckk0 contributionsWhat a great service!I hat a fantastic service! Kyro was super helpful and friendly. I was through the airport in less than 5 minutes! He picked me up right before the passport control, we went very quickly through immigration and customs, no questions asked we could just go through. The car was nice and clean. And he helped me with my luggage. The ride to the my hotel was very entertaining as he is very knowledgeable. See u next time.Written September 10, 2024
- Cristian M0 contributionsGreatAt excellent service provided by Mario and Kyros who was driving the car.

Always very attentive, he gave a very detailed explanation about Egyptian civilization history and gave me enough time to see most of the museum attractionsWritten September 9, 2024
- Cristian M0 contributionsExcellentExcellent service and very reliable Was met by Kyros upon immigration at Cairo Airport I had a last minute flight change and he got back to the airport to pick me up.

After cruising north from ASWAN via EDFU, we reached and docked in LUXOR! We spent a busy day in the Magnificent KARNAK temple and then the LUXOR temple too .. followed by the SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW IN KARNAK ..
Thanks again to GATE I TRAVELS ( Marina Ponocevnaia and Aharoni Zisling ) and our fantastic TOUR OPERATORS Riham and Nihal !
KARNAK temple was imposing to say the least ; the avenue of the Sphinxes , the MASSIVE COLUMNS AND PILLARS of the Hypostyle… the lake .. every place we looked we were overawed !
LUXOR temple had a very impressive PYLON with many statues of RAMSES II.. a shrine for Alexander etc
A NOTE ON SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW:
Many of us were disappointed with the show only because we went with very high expectations!
If you go with lower expectations it’s worth it!
It’s not spectacular but very nice indeed ;
Also, we were all quite tired after a very busy day!
