  2. The Karnak Temple

    2 hours Admission not included

    The Karnak Temple Complex consists of a number of temples, chapels, and other buildings in the form of a village, and is for that reason that the name Karnak was given to this complex as in Arabic Karnak means ‘fortified village’. The Karnak temple is located in Karnak, in Luxor Governorate, in the south of Egypt on the east side of the Nile River bank. The Karnak Temple dates back from around 2055 BC to around 100 AD. It was built as a cult temple and was dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and khonsu. Being the largest building for religious purposes ever to be constructed, the Karnak Temple was known as “most select of places” by ancient Egyptians.

  3. Luxor Temple

    2 hours Admission not included

    Luxor Temple, Ipet‑resyt “Southern Sanctuary” to the ancient Egyptians, was so called because of its location within ancient Thebes (modern Luxor). It is located around three kilometers to the south of Karnak Temple, to which it was once linked with a processional way bordered with sphinxes. The oldest evidence for this temple dates to the Eighteenth Dynasty (c.1550–1295 BC). Ipet‑resyt, unlike most other ancient Egyptian temples, is not laid out on an east‑west axis, but is oriented towards Karnak. This is because Luxor Temple was the main venue for one the most important of ancient Egyptian religious celebrations, when the cult images of Amun, his wife Mut, and their son, the lunar god Khonsu, were taken from their temples in Karnak, and transported in a grand procession to Luxor Temple so they could visit the god that resides there, Amenemopet. This was the Opet Festival.

  4. Luxor Museum

    one hour

    The Luxor Museum is a place of major archaeological interest in Egypt, located in an area containing two-thirds of the country's antiquities.

  5. Mummification Museum

    one hour

    The museum is intended to provide visitors with an understanding of the ancient art of mummification . The Ancient Egyptians applied embalming techniques to many species, not only to dead humans. Mummies of cats, fish and crocodiles are on display in this unique museum, where one can also get an idea of the tools used .

Day 2 · The West bank of Luxor / Valley of The Kings and Hatshepsut Temple / Hot Air Balloon Optional

  1. Stop 1

    one hour Admission not included

    Optional Hot Air Balloon tour to see sunrise over the west bank of luxor .

  2. Valley of the Kings

    2 hours Admission not included

    During the New Kingdom's period of ancient Egyptian (1539-1075 B.C.), the Valley of the Kings was the major burial ground for most of the royal pharaohs. The most famous pharaohs buried there were Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II.

  3. Temple of Hatshepsut

    2 hours Admission not included

    The Temple was built to commemorate the achievements of the great Queen Hatshepsut (18th Dynasty), and as a funerary Temple for her, as well as a sanctuary of the god, Amon Ra. In the 7th century AD, it was named after a Coptic monastery in the area, known as the “Northern Monastery”.

  4. Colossi of Memnon

    20 min

    Stop by Clossi of Memnon

    The Colossi of Memnon, the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, which date back to the era of King Amenhotep III .

  5. Temple of Medinat Habu

    2 hours

    The Medinet Habu Temple is one of the ancient Egyptian temples in Luxor that was built by pharaoh Ramses III and dedicated to the god Amon. In my opinion, Madinat Habu is one of the best temples on the West Bank, and it's easy to combine with other nearby sites in Egypt like Valley of the Queens or Hatshepsut Temple.

  6. Valle Delle Regine

    one hour

    The Valley of the Queens (Arabic: Wādī al Malekāt) is a site in Egypt, where the wives of pharaohs were buried in ancient times. It was known then as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning "the place of beauty". It was most famous for being the burial site of many wives of Pharaohs.

  7. Tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62)

    one hour Admission not included

    Tutankhamen wasn't an especially important king, but his tomb was the only royal burial found intact in modern times. The tomb was important because it let archaeologists record what an Egyptian king's tomb looked like and learn more about ancient Egypt.
