Early in the morning, your tour guide will pick you up at 4:30 AM by A/C van and transfer you to Sharm El-Sheikh Airport for your flight to Luxor, which will take approximately 30 minutes.
Upon arrival at Luxor Airport, your English-speaking guide will meet you and accompany you throughout the day to the most important historical sites, including:

Valley of the Kings

Your journey will begin on the West Bank of Luxor, where the Valley of the Kings is located. This valley, which was home to the magnificent tombs of the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom of Egypt, was built over a period of nearly 500 years, from the 16th to the 11th centuries BC. The valley is one of the most famous archaeological destinations in the world. On our tour of the Valley of the Kings, we will explore these magnificent tombs belonging to ancient kings such as King Tutankhamun and the sons of Ramesses II.

Temple of Hatshepsut (Deir el-Bahari Temple)

After the Valley of the Kings, you will visit the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as the Deir el-Bahari Temple. The architect Senenmut was inspired by the Temple of Mentuhotep and recreated its terraces and porticoes. Your tour guide will explain in detail the history of these magnificent temples, including their historical and architectural significance.

Colossi of Memnon

Before leaving the West Bank, you will see the Colossi of Memnon, hear the story of these two statues, and learn how they stood in the Theban necropolis for the past 3,400 years. You will also have the opportunity to take unforgettable photos there.

Lunch

You will have a delicious lunch at a local restaurant located on the East Bank with a magnificent view of the Nile.

Karnak Temple Complex

After lunch, you will take an afternoon tour of the Karnak Temples, considered the center of the world, where Amun first created himself and then all living things. The complex is a vast open site and includes the Karnak Open Air Museum. It is believed to be the second most visited historical site in Egypt. The term Karnak is often misunderstood to refer solely to the precincts of Amun-Ra, as this is the only part most visitors see.

You will board your flight back to Sharm El Sheikh, then return to your hotel after what we know will be an enjoyable day.
