Get ready for our representative to pick you up at your hotel anywhere in Hurghada in a modern private car and take your flight to Luxor for an unforgettable experience visiting the city's highlights, such as:
We will start our day with a visit to the West Bank, where our guide will take you to the Land of the Dead, which is filled with the lives of kings and queens. Our first stop will be the Valley of the Kings, home to the tombs of Egypt's greatest pharaohs, such as Tutankhamun and Ramses II. The vibrantly painted murals and inscriptions that adorn the tomb walls and have endured throughout time will astound you. They relate the stories of the king's quest for immortality and the afterlife.
Next, we will visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a unique architectural masterpiece carved into the heart of the mountain. The temple symbolises the strong character of Queen Hatshepsut, who expertly governed Egypt. You will notice the amazing symmetry in its design and its terraces that rise toward the sky, as if they were a stairway ascending the soul toward eternity. Then we will explore the Colossi of Memnon, the giant stone guardians that have stood tall for more than three thousand years. These two statues are all that remain of the temple of King Amenhotep III, and ancient legends hold them up as symbols of strength and stability.
We then move to the other side of the Nile, where religious life and major celebrations are evident. The first visit is to Karnak Temple, the largest religious temple in the ancient world. You will enter the great pylon and find yourself among a forest of huge columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall, some of which are over 20 metres high. Karnak was not just a temple but a religious and political centre that reflected the greatness of Amun, the god of Thebes, and you will experience the pharaohs' spirit as they commemorated the holy Opet festivals on your subsequent visits.
Finally, we will conclude our tour with a visit to Luxor Temple, the graceful temple that shines with beauty on the banks of the Nile. It is distinguished by the beauty of its inscriptions and monuments built by great kings such as Ramses II and Amenhotep III. Upon entering, you will see huge statues of pharaohs and the obelisk that once stood as a twin to another obelisk that now adorns the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
Finally, we will transfer you to Luxor airport to catch your flight to Hurghada and there we will return you to your hotel in Hurghada.
Lunch included.
