Highlights
- Safaga - You will be picked up from your hotel in Safaga and then travel to Luxor, arriving in approximately 3 hours.
- Temple of Karnak - Upon arrival in Luxor, you will head to the Karnak Temple, the largest temple ever built, spanning 2,000 years and covering about 63 acres. Enjoy taking photos among its massive pillars and obelisks.
- Valley of the Kings - Next, you will drive to the west bank to visit the Valley of the Kings, where New Kingdom pharaohs carved their tombs into the mountains to hide their treasures and protect their mummies.
- Howard Carter House - Then, visit the domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun’s tomb. The house, surrounded by a garden on a barren slope above the road from Deir Al Bahari to the Valley of the Kings, has been restored and decorated with pictures and excavation tools. An exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has been constructed at the edge of the garden, along with an exhibition related to the tomb’s discovery.
- Art Valley Alabaster Factory - After that, you will have the chance to visit the alabaster factory, where stones are still brought from the quarry and crafted into various handmade items, just like in ancient Egyptian times.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, visit the mortuary temple of the famous Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari. Discover her beautiful temple and learn about her intriguing story with her nephew.
- Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor - Then, you will move to the Valley of the Nobles, which houses the tombs of Luxor’s nobles, such as Ramose, Senniffer, Menna, and over 400 other Theban nobles. These tombs, marked by numbers, feature beautifully carved scenes. Nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum, there are more than 400 tombs.
- Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II) - Proceed to the Ramesseum Temple, the memorial (or mortuary) temple of Pharaoh Ramses II. Located in the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile, across from modern Luxor, the design of Ramesses’s mortuary temple follows the standard canons of New Kingdom temple architecture.
