Karnak is Egypt’s most important Pharaonic site, 2nd only to the Giza pyramids. A great stop on our Nile River Cruise. Its massive grandeur, towering pillars, and winding corridors made the photos in my art history books come to life. This blog explores the sites one does not see in the books!

Egypt: Hatshepsut’s Temple (Art & Travel)
Hatshepsut – the person and her legacy – came into my radar during a college class in Old Testament Bible Archaeology. A visit to her temple was high on my To Do list as we traveled to Egypt’s Valley of The Kings (and Queens!) on our 2024 Viking Nile River Cruise.
In its setting at the foot of a sheer limestone cliff-face, Hatshepsut’s Temple is an imposing and stunning sight. Photos in travel and art history books do not begin to do it justice.
Egypt: Giza Pyramids (Travel)
The pyramids of Egypt, along with its colorful and mysterious history as seen in both art history and the Bible, have long fascinated me. This post on the Great Pyramids of Giza is the 1st of several highlighting our adventures in Egypt.
