The Karnak Temple is the largest and most important temple in Luxor and maybe in Egypt as a whole. The temple dedicated to the god Amun and was first constructed by Seti I and the famous Ramses II continued its building.

 

The Karnak is a very important site because it is a complex that consists of tens of temples. Every Pharo in the Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom wanted to have his addition to the Karnak.

Nile Cruises

Egypt is a country with a rich ancient history, it is home to numerous archaeological monuments and every site you see has a great story to tell. The longest river in the world, the Nile, is the foundation and home for much of what has gone on, and still goes on today in Egypt. A great way to witness 5000 years of history is to take a cruise along the Nile.

More than 280 ships cruise the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan. Cruising the Nile gives you the benefit of exploring modern life along the Nile, while also giving you the ability to tour the ancient temples and tombs along the way through the variety of guided excursions that are available to you.

Most of the ships offer upscale accommodations and amenities. The majority of the Nile cruise ships offer multiple decks including a sun deck with pool for lounging and play.

Restaurants and lounges are located throughout the ship. You can opt for a standard cabin or something more luxurious, although most cabins will still offer floor to ceiling windows and private balconies. The ships vary on the amount of on-board entertainment, but the more upscale ships generally have belly dancers, Nubian dancers, and Whirling Dervishes.

As you sail along the Nile you will realize that not much has changed from ancient times. Even today you will still see donkeys bathing in the river, and farmers harvesting their crops without the use of any modern farming technological advances. The scenery along the Nile riverbank will change before your eyes from green palm trees to giant sand dunes.

Between Luxor and Aswan you will have the opportunities to see sites such as KomOmbo, Edfu, Karnak, Dendera, the Valley of Queens, and the Valley of Kings.

The number of these sites you will visit will depend on the length of your cruise.

At KomOmbo, located 50km north of Aswan, you can visit the temple of KomOmbo. This temple is a double temple dating back to the Ptolemaic Dynasty. It is unique in that it was built for two gods, namely the crocodile god Sobek, and the falcon god Haroeris.

In the city of Edfu, between Esna and Aswan, you may have the opportunity to see the Ptolemaic temple of Horus, Tell Edfu, and some ancient pyramids. The Ptolemaic temple of Horus is one of the most completely preserved temples in all of Egypt. Tell Edfu is the remains of an ancient settlement which provided enough historical remains and information to date it as far back as the Predynastic period. There are also seven small ancient pyramids that are located about 5km north of Edfu and these pyramids have been connected to King Huni of the 3rd dynasty.

In Karnak you will be amazed by the Karnak temple complex. Amongst the complex you will find the remains of ancient temples, chapels, and pylons. Included amongst these remains is the Great Temple of Amun, which was initially built under the rule of Pharaoh Ramses II.

If your cruise is lengthy enough to take you to Dendera you may have the opportunity to visit the Greco-Roman temple known as Lunet, featuring the Temple of Hathor. This temple is another of Egypt’s best preserved temples.

The Valley of Kings is home to 63 tombs and chambers belonging to pharaohs and other Egyptian royalty. In the Valley of Queens, you will find the final resting tombs for the wives of these pharaohs.

Middle East for the Revelers

Posted on by

As long as my memory goes, travelers wanting to dine, wine and party booked chep flights for the renowned party zones of the world like Vegas, Paris, Australia or Brazil. Middle East has been long ignored by these revelers due to several misconceptions about the region in the minds of the people from the western world. It’s true that most countries in the Middle East have banned alcohol as they follow strict Islamic rule but there are other states as well who understand the importance of alcohol in providing a boost to the tourism industry.  Rules regarding alcohol vary from country to country. Saudi Arabia is completely dry, alcohol is available in the bars in Qatar but not openly, and it’s freely available in the more liberal states like Beirut and Dubai. No wonder, cheap flights to Dubai are forever in high demand on the Internet.

Party goers in Jordan would be treated to the best of cocktails at the Cave Bar in Wadi Musa.

Carved out of a 2,000-year-old Nabatean tomb, this bar is renowned for its signature cocktail called ‘Between the Caves’. The next junction for the beer guzzling travelers in Middle East could be the fantastic state of Doha. The famous and unique Belgian Beer Café in Doha is known for its superb range of beers with the Belgian Beer being the strongest ale available in the country! Sama Terrazza, the only rooftop bar in the country, is undoubtedly the best place to head to for the revelers and party hoppers. From a ladies night on Monday where free drinks are given to the fairer sex to seafood grills on Tuesdays, the bar is best known for its several themed parties that bring in a slew of locals and travelers from around the world. Neos is one of the most preferred bars to visit in Dubai due to the scintillating views it offer. Sip your favorite cocktail in its plush environ while watching the Burj Khalifa on the opposite side and the Dubai Fountain just below you! One of the most towering structures in Damascus, Syria is the Four Seasons Hotel and its most extraordinary feature is its XO Bar. Replete with exquisite paintings, plush interiors and a cozy ambience, this bar is best known for its cigars and exotic wines. Situated on the roof-deck on Yas Hotel, the Skylite Bar in Abu Dhabi wins the title of best bar in the Middle East hands down! Overlooking the beautiful marina, this hotspot is also a favorite amongst the Formula 1 drivers who stop here for their favorite mojitos! With this almost revelation-like list of best bars in the region, revelers should wait no longer to book their cheap flights to the Middle East.

Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza is a pride attraction of Egypt that welcomes large number of tourists from all over the world. It is the largest structure of the world’s original Seven Wonders and is principally still in tact. This pyramid is actually an architectural feat, which can never be duplicated with the modern technology as well as the advanced knowledge. In fact, many people in the world tried to make another look a like, but was failed to make one. The Japanese were also tried to build a smaller pyramid to scale. However, no one succeeded in building another attraction or wonder of the world.

It took about eighty years to build the pyramids. According to archeologists, about 20,000-30,000 people were involved in completing the task. The workers had different roles. Some dug up the rock, some moved it, and some shaped it into blocks.

People also worked on different teams, each with its own name. On a wall in Khufu’s Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote “Friends of Khufu.” Teams often competed to do a job faster.

The Great Pyramid of Giza has been a mystery and also a puzzle to the mankind for ages. Being an ancient wonder, this structure amazes each and every human being in the world. The first question arises is how The Great Pyramid of Giza is been built. During the 5th century BC, the Greek historian Herodotus was spoke about this captivating structure in his writings. He also put forth his theory of how exactly the wonder was constructed. After that, many books have been written until now or in last 120-years, that tells the story of the pyramid. It is not like there is only one pyramid in the world.

The pyramids at Giza can be clearly seen from most parts of the city on a clear day. The Great Pyramids of Giza is such an imposing and monumental structure. It is absolutely mind-boggling to imagine that the ancient man with limited technology and workmanship could put up such a huge structure. Of course, how the pyramids were built is a question of great global debate and may never be conclusively answered. Other theories even point to outer space aliens as the sole builders of pyramids in Egypt.

The internal layout indicates there were at least two changes during construction. Initially it was determined that the burial chamber would be deep beneath the surface of the plateau. This was changed to incorporate a small chamber, now unfinished and known in error as the Queen’s Chamber and 50ft above the plateau. The final construction incorporated the Grand Gallery, 28ft high and topped by a corbeled roof, leading upwards to a horizontal passage that enters the King’s Chamber at the heart of the pyramid. A large granite sarcophagus, cut from a single block of Aswan granite was placed in the chamber. This must have been placed before the chamber was roofed because it is about an inch too wide for the Corridor.

According to an early survey conducted by Piazzi Smyth in 1865, the Great Pyramid was found to stand upon the latitude parallel of 29 Degrees, 58 Minutes, and 51 Seconds of arc north. Though a significant deviation from an exacting 30 degrees, Smyth noted that if one were to observe the pole of the sky from the foot of the Great Pyramid, at an altitude of 30 degrees; then with the refraction of the atmosphere taken into account, it would necessitate that the structure itself was built upon the parallel of 29 Degrees, 58 Minutes, and 22 Seconds of arc north.
