Tour Plan

Day One: Tour of Luxor Attractions

Hotel Pickup:

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and fly you to Luxor to begin your two-day Luxor & Aswan trip. Upon arrival at Luxor airport, your private Egyptologist guide will take you to visit the following Luxor attractions:

Valley of the Kings:

The mystical Valley of the Kings, hidden within a golden hill resembling the mythical ben-ben, served as the final resting place for many great kings, queens, and nobles from the New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC), including Ramses II, Seti I, Tutankhamen, and Hatshepsut. This site reveals immense archaeological and Egyptological significance from that golden era.

Hatshepsut Temple

The Hatshepsut Temple, an architectural marvel known as the holy of holies, features three massive terraces carved into the stone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Built during her reign (1479-1458 BCE), it was dedicated to Amun-Ra and serves to immortalize Queen Hatshepsut’s life story and achievements.

Colossi of Memnon:

The Colossi of Memnon, standing as the golden guardians of Luxor since their construction by Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1353 BCE), offer insights into his family and their dedications to the Nile God Hapy. These statues have been rebuilt numerous times over the centuries.

Lunch Time:

Lunch will be served at an oriental restaurant with a view of the Nile. Afterward, join your private guide to continue the tour:

Karnak Temple:

The Karnak Temple Complex, Egypt’s second most visited archaeological site, served as a religious capital in Thebes. Built over 2000 years from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic era, it was dedicated to the Theban triad of Mut, Montu, and Amun-Ra. The complex includes the Hypostyle Hall, various precincts, and the divine Avenue of Sphinxes.
