Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to be transferred to the airport for a flight to Luxor where you will be met and assisted by your Egyptologist guide who will accompany you and explore all the famous historical locations including:
Valley of the Kings: Enjoy a brief stop at the valley's visitor center. Then, explore the inner rock-cut chambers and tunnels. Guides are not permitted to accompany you inside the tombs, but your guide will describe what to look for before you enter. Walk through colorful, hieroglyph-covered corridors and see painted chambers that once contained the remains of ancient Egypt's rulers. If you wish, pay an additional cost direct to enter the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
Hatshepsut Temple: It is one of the most beautiful & best preserved of all of the temples of Ancient Egypt. The temple was built on three levels with two wide ramps in a central position joining the levels together.
Colossi of Memnon: Two massive stone statues of king Amenhotep III are the only remains of a complete mortuary temple. The statues are made from blocks of quartzite sandstone which exist in Cairo then moved 700 KM to Luxor.
Then move to have your lunch on an island, so your tour includes a boat trip on the Nile River followed by a tour to
Karnak Temples: No site in Egypt is more impressive than Karnak. It is the largest temple complex ever built by man. It represents the combined achievement of many generations of ancient builders and Pharaohs. The Temple of Karnak is actually three main temples situated on 247 acres of land.
Finally, transfer to Luxor airport for a flight back to Cairo then transfer to your hotel & overnight Cairo.
