Your intensive day begins with an early morning pickup from your Cairo hotel, followed by a transfer to Cairo International Airport for your domestic flight to Luxor. Upon arrival in Luxor, you’ll be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide and embark on a full day of discovery. Start your exploration on the East Bank with a visit to the colossal Karnak Temple Complex, a sprawling open-air museum and the second-largest ancient religious site in the world. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, cross to the West Bank, the ancient Necropolis of Thebes. Here, delve into the Valley of the Kings, the burial site of pharaohs like Tutankhamun, where you will explore three chosen tombs (typically included in the entrance ticket). Continue to the stunning Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a masterpiece of ancient architecture nestled against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Conclude your West Bank tour with a brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III. Finally, transfer back to Luxor Airport for your return flight to Cairo, where you will be met and transferred back to your hotel, concluding a memorable journey through time.
