Explore Ancient Egypt: Complete Luxor Tour
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel or boat in Luxor, setting the stage for a day of exploration along the banks of the Nile River.
Our first destination is the Temple of Luxor, a significant site in ancient Thebes. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features the Avenue of the Sphinxes, a forest of colonnades, and sculptures of Egyptian pharaohs, including Ramses II.
Next, we'll venture to Karnak, the largest temple in Ancient Egypt, home to the sanctuary of Amun and the obelisks of Thutmose I and Hatshepsut. Our journey continues into the sacred space of the hypostyle hall.
After exploring Karnak, we'll cross the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, where tombs of pharaohs like Tutankhamun and Ramses II reveal ancient funeral rites. We'll also visit the Valley of the Queens, exploring burial sites of princesses and wives from the New Empire.
Our tour proceeds to the Temple of Hatshepsut, honoring the only woman to rule Egypt during the 18th Dynasty. We will conclude at the Colossi of Memnon, admiring the statues representing Amenhotep III.
After 7.5 hours of exploration, we'll return to your hotel or boat in Luxor.
