Itinerary
- Valley of the Kings: Explore the Valley of the Kings, located in Luxor City, Egypt, where the grandeur of ancient architecture was harnessed for royal burials. This valley is the resting place of numerous kings, and among its most famous tombs are those of King Thutmose I, King Thutmose III, King Tutankhamun (Tut-Ankh-Amon), King Ramesses VI, King Merenptah, and King Amenhotep II. Allow 3 hours to fully immerse yourself in this historical wonder.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari: Next, make a stop at the Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as El Dir El Bahari. This remarkable temple was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, the daughter of King Thutmose I, who reigned over Egypt for approximately 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (around 1490-1469 B.C.). Queen Hatshepsut is a unique figure in Egyptian history as one of the few women to rule as a pharaoh. Spend an hour exploring the captivating architecture and history of this site.
- Colossi of Memnon: Then, continue your journey to the Colossi of Memnon, the remaining statues from the mortuary temple of King Amenhotep III. Spend 30 minutes contemplating these imposing figures that have stood the test of time.
- Luxor Temple: Venture to the Temple of Luxor, an architectural marvel initiated by Amunhotep III during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom and completed by Ramses II during the 19th Dynasty.
- Temple of Karnak: Conclude your day with a visit to the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, a testament to ancient worship dedicated to the god Amun, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. Spend 2 hours in the presence of this monumental testament to ancient Egyptian spirituality.
Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Luxor as you explore these iconic landmarks, each telling a unique story of Egypt's ancient past. - Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut): King Tut's tomb is an extra fee in the Valley of the Kings, but it is a must see.
