Its ancient name, Ipet-isut, means “the most sacred of places.” The temple, or more accurately the complex of temples, was built over more than two thousand years by successive generations of pharaohs. Within the complex, the Great Hypostyle Hall is an awe-inspiring forest of giant pillars.
You will then be transferred to the magnificent Luxor Temple, built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II for rituals and festivals, and dedicated to the god Amun. After the visit, you will be returned to your hotel.
