Tour itinerary:

Pick up at your hotel in Cairo or Giza & transfer to Cairo airport to fly to Luxor. Meet & assist at Luxor airport. Magnificent visit to the Valley of the Kings, the most famous concentration of royal tombs in Ancient Egypt. Disappointed by the failure of the pyramids to protect their royal owners from robbery and desecration, the kings of the New Kingdom decided to adopt a more secure mode of burial. Instead of the pyramid, they opted for deep, rock-cut galleries and halls. Here the kings of the XVIII, XIX and XX dynasties were buried, as well as some queens, princes, nobles and even animals.

Then transfer to  take a journey into the Majestic Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the unique temple of Queen Hatshepsut (XVIII dynasty), is the most monumental of those built in the valley and unique in its kind throughout Egypt.

Then lunch in a local restaurant.

Later on, transfer for an amazing tour to Luxor Temple, most important monument, and most sacred of sites. It was conceived as a remote southern annex to the temple of Karnak, at a distance of about 3 kilometres from it. Hence, it faces the Karnak Temple, and was connected to it by a long processional avenue, flanked by rows of sphinxes on either side. Many of those sphinxes have been unearthed and guard the entrance to the temple, but more still lie buried beneath the buildings of modern Luxor.

Enjoy a wonderful tour to Karnak Temple. Three temples of Ancient Egypt claimed supremacy over all the others: the Temple of Ptah at Memphis, the Temple of Re-Atum at Heliopolis and the Temple of Amon-Re at Karnak. However, only one has been spared the ravages of time to amaze the visitor even today, 4,000 years after its initial stage of building – the Temple of Karnak. The Temple of Amon-Re was the melting pot of religion and politics. Its monumental courts and halls witnessed the most critical events of Egyptian history.
