Your day begins with an early morning transfer from your Cairo hotel to Cairo International Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor, you’ll be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide and begin your exploration of the East Bank. First, marvel at the sprawling Karnak Temple Complex, a magnificent open-air museum and the second-largest ancient religious site in the world. Continue to Luxor Temple, famous for its grand colonnade, sphinx avenue, and a captivating blend of pharaonic, Roman, and Islamic history. After a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, cross over to the West Bank, the ancient ‘City of the Dead.’ Here, descend into the tombs of pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, adorned with vivid hieroglyphs and ancient treasures. Next, visit the impressive Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning example of New Kingdom architecture carved into the cliff face. Conclude your West Bank tour with a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Finally, you will be transferred to Luxor Airport for your return flight to Cairo, followed by a transfer back to your hotel.
