Upon arrival, you will be joined by your private Egyptologist tour guide, who will guide you through the renowned historic sites of the ancient city of Luxor, including:
The legendary Valley of the Kings is located on a concealed hill accessible through a mystical entrance that leads underground, housing 63 tombs belonging to Seti I, Amenhotep I, Rameses II, Thutmose I, Hatshepsut, Tutankhamun, and others. All were interred during the New Kingdom period (1570 – 1050 BC), which marked the era of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties.
The revered temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) is a remarkable work of art that has endured through the ages, illuminating her legacy and the sacred artistry of ancient Egyptian architecture. The golden house of Amun offers valuable insights into this illustrious civilization.
The remarkable Colossi of Memnon were crafted in the likeness of Amenhotep III (1391–1353 BC) to commemorate his legacy around 1350 BC. These seated quartzite statues, standing 18 meters (60 feet) tall, have undergone several restorations during the Greco-Roman period.
Lunch will be served at an oriental Nile View Restaurant, after which you will meet your private tour guide to continue your two-day Luxor & Aswan excursion from Makadi Bay, exploring:
Thebes, the religious capital and hub of all spiritual activities during the New Kingdom, was founded between 1971 BC and 20 BC to honor the Theban triad consisting of Khonsu, Mut, and Amun. The magnificent Karnak Temple complex is a masterpiece of architectural artistry, featuring highlights such as the hypostyle hall and the Avenue of Sphinxes, among others.

The remarkable modern technological innovation was developed in the 1960s to conserve power and water by generating electricity and preserving water in the artificial Lake Nasser.
The Unfinished Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) is one of the most remarkable and historically important architectural works, left incomplete due to a crack that occurred during its carving.
The magnificent Philae temple tells one of the most remarkable stories in history, as the Ptolemaic rulers sought to preserve the legacy of the goddess Isis, the deity of Motherhood, who used her power to revive her husband Osiris, the ruler of the Underworld. In modern times, the temple was relocated to Agilkia Island.
You will return to Aswan after lunch.
