Itinerary
Tour Itinerary
Our journey will start at the Karnak Temple,... 2 hours
Our journey will start at the Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt and considered one of the most significant worship places in the country. The temple was built over thousands of years by various Pharaohs and Kings, from the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman era. It was dedicated to the sun God Amon Re, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu, the cat Goddess.
Every visit to Luxor's West Bank is complete... 2 hours
Every visit to Luxor's West Bank is complete with a stop at the impressive Valley of the Kings. For centuries, this area was the final resting place for powerful pharaohs and their families. Here you will explore ancient tombs chiseled into the desert cliffs and adorned with artful decorations. Your guide will unravel tales of jealousy, power, and betrayal associated with these magnificent structures
Located beneath massive cliffs near the west bank... 1 hour
Located beneath massive cliffs near the west bank of the Nile, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el Bahri, is dedicated to Amon-Ra, the sun god. Designed by an architect named Senemut, the temple is unique because it was designed like classical architecture. Note the lengthy, colonnaded terrace some of which are 97 ft high, pylons, courts, and hypostyle hall. Inside you'll see the sun court, chapel and sanctuary. Temple reliefs depict the tale of the divine birth of Hatshepsut and trade expeditions to the Land of Punt
On your way to visit the West Bank... 15 minutes
On your way to visit the West Bank of Luxor, you will come across the two gigantic statues known as the Colossi of Memnon. These two gigantic figures of Amenhotep III were originally situated in front of his Mortuary temple, which seems to have been destroyed for unknown reasons. Each colossus is about 21 metres tall and represents King Amenhotep III seated on his throne. Legend has it that after an earthquake damaged it in 27 BC, one of the statues emitted strange sounds in the morning-perhaps due to the heat of the sun following the humidity of the night. However, the restoration which took place in 193-211 A.D, made the sound stop forever!
