Egypts Ancient Temples Travellers Must See
Video Transcript
Welcome to Egypt, a land of stone, sand, and stories. Begin in Luxor, once ancient Thebes. First stop, the extraordinary Carnac Temple complex. Over 200 acres of grand sanctuaries, soaring obelisks, and one of the largest religious buildings ever built. Just south lies Luxor temple, dedicated to the divine rejuvenation of kinship. At night, its illuminated columns glow like giants in the dark. On the West bank, discover the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari. Its sweeping terraces sculpted against a cliff face, celebrating a powerful queen of Egypt. Further south, near Aswan, the twin temples of Abu Simbel rise from the cliffs. Carved by Ramsey II over three millennia ago and relocated to save them from flooding, their sheer scale is breathtaking. And don't miss the temple of Edfu, dedicated to Horus. It's one of Egypt's best preserved Tolemaic shrines, with vibrant reliefs still alive with myth and ritual. From Karnak to Edfu, these temples are more than stone. They're windows into eternity. Make your journey through time unforgettable.
