It's that time of the year when everything is aligned perfectly like an eclipse, a sign of divine connection awaits you

Take a trip to witness the solar alignment phenomenon on the Holy of Holies shrine at Karnak Temple on December 21st of each year, marking the beginning of the germination season in ancient Egyptian, where the crops sprout, the trees are left, and the farmers begin the hard work in the fields after the long flood season in which the cranks were idle.

Witness the astronomical and architectural masterclass as the sun enters the temple from the East, pouring its beams on the temple’s main axis, and entering the Holy of Holies, which housed the deity Amun’s statue.
At midday, the solar beams illumine the Sacred of Holies for many minutes before spreading across the holy places.The sun is perpendicular to the Tropic of Capricorn today, at its furthest point from the equator.

In this magical time of celebration, everyone will get the opportunity to explore the miraculous Temple of Karnak and enjoy the majestic once in a year ancient phenomenon.
