The Great Temple of Karnak and the Luxor Museum

  • December 24, 2019
  • 2 minute read

As an option today, and for an additional cost, we visited the Temple of Amun, otherwise known as Karnak. I visited this glorious Temple in 2018, but I would never miss the chance to see it again. It was a wise choice since this time we got there before the crowds.

Our guide Amr gave us a lecture on the history of this place and then we were off to explore the complex on our own.

  • Hey, I was on that balloon the other day! View from Karnak Temple
  • Karnak Temple – Avenue of the Ram Headed Sphinxes
  • Great Hypostlye Hall of Karnak Temple- Consists of 134 columns
  • Sacred Lake
  • Looking through the Hypostlye Hall to see the Obelisk of Thutmose I – Note: the Obelisk of Hatshepsut is on the left – not seen in the photo
  • Lucy lives at the Temple – She is so beautiful that I wanted to take her home with me

Luxor Museum

This was the first time I have ever visited the Luxor museum. The artwork and statues are very impressive. I took hundreds of photos but I am only including a few photos below. 

I will say I hoped we had some time to visit the Mummification Museum while in Luxor, but I guess that will have to happen, on my third trip to Egypt.

After our visit to the museum, we were off to the airport to catch a flight back to Cairo, and then drive in the afternoon to Alexandria. Next post.

If you enjoy reading my posts about Egypt, STEM, Drones, MIT, mountains, or mysteries I hope you will want to run out and purchase my first book, “Osiris Returns”. With some luck, it should come to market late 2020 / early 2021. Please consider staying in the loop. An email sign-up form is located at the bottom of my home page along with my social media links. Your email will only be used to alert you when my book comes out. I will not use or share your email for any other purpose.
