  • The tombs of the New Kingdom Pharaohs are in the Valley of the Kings, which is an astounding location where 62 Pharaohs are buried. This was a secret place, where sentries guarded the entrance, as well as the tops of the hills to discourage tomb robbers.
  • The tombs of princes in the Valley of the Queens, which is - similar to the Valley of the Kings - a burial site in Egypt where over 90 tombs were found in excavations that continues to this day.
  • The magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahri, which is one of the most distinctive temples in all of Egypt. It was built of limestone, not sandstone like most of the other funerary temples of the New Kingdom period.
  • The Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic statues 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 meters tall and represents King Amenhotep III seated on his throne.

Sail on the Nile River in a traditional felucca sailing boat to discover the beauty of Luxor. Relax with a drink as you soak up the scenery.

After lunch at a local restaurant, you will visit the magnificent Karnak Temple, which was, at its peak, the largest and most important religious complex in ancient Egypt. The most significant structure, and the largest religious building ever built, is the Temple of Amun-Ra, considered to be where that god lived on earth with his wife, Mut, and son, Khonsu, who also have temples at the site.

Then you will head to Luxor Temples, which was not built-in adoration to a god or to a god figure of the kings and pharaohs, but was built in dedication to the rejuvenation of kingship. Many kings might have had they crowning at the Temple of Luxor, whether crowned in reality or conceptually as in the case of Alexander the Great, who claimed he was crowned at Luxor although facts contradict appear that he had never traveled south of Memphis which is considered the modern city of Cairo.

Once your visit to these ancient Theban Temples is complete you will be driven back to Luxor airport for your flight back to Cairo, where our representative will take you to your hotel.
