Karnak Temple- City of Gods and Rulers (private half day tour)

Firstly, this is the largest religious building in the world and was built over a 2000 year period. It covers more than 100 hectares and is a city of temples. The original name of Karnak was the Temple of Amun, who is one of the most important gods ever in ancient Egypt. He rose to prominence in “Thebes” or Luxor as we know it now. He was known as “the obscure one” or “the hidden one” which meant he didn’t belong to any one power so he could represent anything within existence. For this reason he became known as Amun- Ra, the king of gods and the creator of the universe. Your experienced Egyptologist guide will provide a complete insight into the history of Karnak Temple. From its early beginnings when the first structure was laid to ground to when the Roman Empire finally took over.
