Temple of Karnak - After lunch, embark on a tour of Luxor’s East Bank, starting with the Karnak temples. Karnak is not just a temple but a magnificent complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons, and obelisks dedicated to the Theban gods and the glory of Egypt’s pharaohs.

Hot Air Balloon Ride & Luxor West Bank Visit

Luxor hot air balloon - Early in the morning, we’ll pick you up for an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the west bank of Luxor.

Colossi of Memnon - After the balloon ride, you’ll stop for photos at the Colossi of Memnon, two grand twin statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, with two smaller statues at their feet representing his wife and mother. Each statue stands 60 feet tall at the entrance of Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple. They are known as the Colossi of Memnon due to a sound phenomenon produced by one of the statues after an earthquake. Originally built in the Theban Necropolis on the west bank of the Nile in modern Luxor, these colossal statues are a must-see.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Visit the temple of Queen Hatshepsut and learn about her fascinating story with her nephew.

The construction of the Ptolemaic temple of Horus, founded on the site of an earlier temple, dates back to the period between the reigns of Ptolemy III (237 B.C.). The walls depict the myth of the contention between Horus and Seth, likely performed annually as a religious drama.

Built in 180 B.C. by the Ptolemaic dynasty during the Roman invasion, the temple’s unique location on the riverbank between Edfu and Aswan makes it a wonderful stop for Nile cruises.
