Upon arrival in Luxor, you will be greeted by your Egyptologist guide and driver, who will take you to the magnificent Karnak Temple complex, the largest place of worship ever constructed.
Known in ancient times as The Most Sacred of Places," Karnak is a vast complex of temples that took over two thousand years to complete, with generations of Pharaohs contributing to its grandeur. Enjoy a comprehensive tour of the temple, starting with the Hypostyle Hall, which features a stunning array of towering pillars that create a virtual forest.
Following your temple exploration, savor a casual lunch at a local restaurant before proceeding to the Valley of the Kings. This valley is home to numerous magnificent tombs, intricately carved into the rock and filled with treasures and rich decorations intended for the Pharaohs' afterlife.
Conclude your day of sightseeing with a visit to the temple at El Deir El Bahary, built in honor of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's only female Pharaoh. Her temple, designed in a series of terraces, elegantly blends into the surrounding limestone cliffs.
