To begin your day early, take a trip to the Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt, and home to the towering columns of the unique Hypostyle Hall and a sacred lake. Then comes Luxor Temple, a magnificent structure that springs to life with colossal statues and the avenue of sphinxes that narratively tells the story of Egypt‘s pharaohs.
Lunch is at a local restaurant to taste the authentic and traditional flavors of Egyptian cuisine while you relax and refresh yourself before taking on the afternoon adventure.
Cross the Nile River and head to the West Bank to visit the famous Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, which is elaborately decorated.
Then you will visit the beautiful mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a real piece of architectural gem built into the cliffs of Deir El-Bahari. Lastly, visit the huge twin stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, standing in lonely silence as guardians of the ancient Theban necropolis.
(Optional Tour)
Finish off the day with a quiet felucca ride on the Nile while watching the sunset over Luxor's ancient view, and should time permit, also experience the magical Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple-lively and moving.
