Temple of Karnak - Named after the Arabic term for a “fortified hamlet,” Khurnak, the Karnak Temple Complex is an extensive array of weathered temples, pylons, chapels, and other edifices situated in the rural outskirts of Luxor, Egypt. The complex’s genesis predominantly traces back to the Middle Kingdom, initiated under the rule of Senusret I (reigned 1971–1926 BCE), with the majority of these structures dating to the New Kingdom (approximately 2000-1700 BCE). During ancient Egypt’s 18th dynasty, the vicinity surrounding Karnak bore the title of Ipet-isut (Arabic translation: “The Most Selected of Places”), holding paramount significance as the principal temple of the Theban Triad, presided over by the deity Amun. In 1979, together with the greater city of Thebes, this site gained inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List. El-Karnak, a contemporary settlement positioned to the north of Luxor, derives its name from the ancient Karnak complex, which abuts and partially encircles the town.

Nile River Valley - We will head to the Nile from the east bank to take a boat and cross to the other side, where the rest of the Luxor day tour from Hurghada continues. After crossing, we will have lunch at a local restaurant on the western side.

Valley of the Kings - Explore a complex of royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. With your entrance ticket, you can visit three tombs. The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, is a valley in Egypt where, for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Panorama Hatshepsut Temple. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Djeser-Djeseru, is a mortuary temple of Ancient Egypt located in Upper Egypt. Built for the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Hatshepsut, it is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings.

Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon (referred to in Arabic as el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are a pair of immense stone statues depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues stand before the once-imposing Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the largest temple in the Theban Necropolis, which has since been demolished. Originating from around 1350 BC, these statues were well-known to ancient Greeks, Romans, as well as early modern explorers and Egyptologists. Between 20 and 250 AD, numerous inscriptions in both Greek and Latin were affixed to the statues. Many of these inscriptions mistakenly associated the statue with the Greek mythological figure Memnon. Debate persists among experts regarding whether the northern colossus should be identified as “Memnon,” despite the fact that the Greek term for the entire Theban Necropolis is the Memnonium.
