Besuchen Sie anschließend die kolossalen Memnonkolosse, die 18 Meter hoch über der Ebene aufragen. Diese riesigen Statuen, einst Teil des größten Begräbnis-Tempelkomplexes von Amenophis III., stehen als Zeugnis für die Größe des alten Ägyptens. Danach geht es weiter zum beeindruckenden Tempel der Königin Hatschepsut, einem atemberaubenden Bau, der in die Klippen des Thebanischen Gebirges integriert ist. Mit seinem terrassenartigen Design fügt sich der Tempel harmonisch in die natürliche Umgebung ein und gilt als eines der außergewöhnlichsten Monumente Ägyptens.

Der Karnak-Tempel, der den thebanischen Göttern Amun, Mut und Chons gewidmet ist, umfasst weitläufige Heiligtümer, Pylone, Obelisken und Kioske- alles erschaffen, um die mächtigen Pharaonen Ägyptens zu ehren. Der Karnak-Tempel war das spirituelle Herz des antiken Ägyptens und bleibt eines der wichtigsten archäologischen Stätten der Welt.

Nach Ihren Tempelbesichtigungen genießen Sie ein Abendessen und entspannen an Bord Ihrer Nilkreuzfahrt, bevor Sie den nächtlichen Schlafwagenzug nach Kairo besteigen.
