Today we visit Luxor Temple located in Luxor, Egypt. It is a magnificent ancient temple dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Built over 3,000 years ago during the New Kingdom period, it features grand columns, a spacious courtyard, and impressive statues.

Next up was, Karnak Temple.  Karnak is an awe inspiring ancient complex known for its colossal columns, grand halls, and intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions. Constructed over 2,000 years, it was a place of worship for the god Amun-Ra and other deities. Karnak's massive size and grandeur make it one of the largest temple complexes in the world. 

We then jumped on a plane and headed back to Cairo. Visited The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.  Opened in 2021, the museum offers a comprehensive journey through Egypt's past, from prehistoric times to the present day. The museum's exhibits include artefacts, such as mummies, statues, jewellery, and everyday objects.
