The home of gods and goddesses and the center of religious life in ancient Egypt from its inception in 2055 BC until 100 AD. The Karnak temple complex is renowned as one of the largest open-air museums in the world, comprising 25 temples that showcase remarkable shrines, sanctuaries, towering obelisks, and impressive statues honoring prominent deities such as the legendary Theban triad, along with other gods and goddesses including Isis, Osiris, Sobek, and Ptah.
The magnificent heritage of ancient Egyptian civilization is displayed around the clock, providing visitors with an exceptional opportunity to explore Luxor Temple, the historic site of the Opet Festival, established in 1400 BCE during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III to honor Amun.

After breakfast, you will check out of your hotel and be transported by a private air-conditioned vehicle, accompanied by your expert private tour guide, to explore the remarkable sites on Luxor's west bank, beginning with:
Hidden deep within a mountain, the Valley of the Kings serves as the renowned burial site for rulers of the New Kingdom (1550-1070 BC), including the entire Ramses Dynasty, Seti I, Tutankhamen, and others. Among the 63 tombs, 20 are royal tombs adorned with remarkable treasures and elaborate decorations. The valley was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
Carved into the mountainside, the legendary Temple of Hatshepsut stands as one of the most well-preserved examples of ancient Egyptian classical architecture from the New Kingdom, built in 1479 to honor her remarkable legacy, accomplishments, and the creator sun god Amun.
Luxor is home to numerous monuments, but the Colossi of Memnon stand out as truly unique. These statues were reconstructed in 199 AD after sustaining damage in 27 BC. The Colossi are two massive quartzite limestone statues, each 18 meters tall, depicting the features of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350 BC).
You will experience a delightful lunch at a stunning restaurant overlooking the Nile.
