Visit Memnon Colossi on the way back to the East bank. After lunch, visit Karnack temple, which is a vast open-air museum. It is a group of temples surrounded by one enclosure wall that is dedicated to the god Amon-Ra. Approximately 30 pharaohs contributed to the buildings.

Later we visit Luxor temple. It was completely buried in sand for many centuries which allowed it to be one of the most preserved temples. The temple has many beautifully decorated columns, a massive façade representing its entrance, a huge pylon, and two seated statues of Ramses II. Overnight in Luxor hotel.
