The two temples are connected by a dromos, a long avenue lined with sphinxes, and are dedicated to Amon. The three-enclosure temple of Karnak is part of the Karnak religious complex, a group that includes the ruins of other temples, buildings, and pylons. Its construction and subsequent modifications spanned over 2000 years. The Luxor temple, built in the 14th century BC during the reign of Amenhotep III, was later modified by Ramses II, who added six monumental statues and two obelisks. Lunch, dinner, and overnight stay on board. In the evening, optional sound and light show at the Karnak temple.

Carved into the rock in the Theban mountain, this three-tiered temple built in -1455 is both harmonious and modern. Although dedicated to the god Amon, it also contains chapels for Anubis and Hathor, the goddess who protects women. This is not surprising, since Hatshepsut, one of the four female pharaohs to have ruled Egypt, is considered "the first great woman whose name history has preserved."

The Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan is an impressive remnant located in an ancient granite quarry in Upper Egypt. Commissioned during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, it was intended to be the largest obelisk ever constructed, reaching about 42 meters in height and... see+ weighing an estimated 1,200 tons. However, a crack that appeared during the carving process halted the work, leaving the monument incomplete and still attached to the bedrock.
Today, the site provides a unique insight into the working methods of ancient Egyptian stonecutters. Visitors can observe extraction techniques, tool marks, and the monumental logistics involved in creating such structures.
