We recommend spending at least 3-5 days to experience the main attractions comfortably. However, a week or more allows for a more relaxed pace and exploration of hidden gems, local neighborhoods, and day trips to nearby areas.
Yes, Karnak Temple Complex is generally safe for tourists. As with any destination, exercise normal precautions like being aware of your surroundings, keeping valuables secure, and following local guidance. Our tours prioritize your safety with professional guides.
Pack comfortable walking shoes, light breathable clothing for daytime, a light jacket for evenings or air-conditioned spaces, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and any necessary medications. Don't forget your camera to capture the amazing sights!

For religious sites and certain attractions, modest clothing is required (covering shoulders and knees). It's best to carry a light scarf or shawl. Most restaurants and hotels have no specific dress code, but smart casual is appreciated.
