Day 01
Fly from Sharm el Sheikh to Luxor's Ancient Wonders
- You will be picked up from your Sharm el Sheikh accommodation and taken to Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport for a domestic flight to Luxor International Airport.
- Your tour guide will meet you on arrival to begin your visit to the ancient capital of Thebes, Luxor.
- Start at the necropolis in the Theban Mountains at the Valley of the Kings, where you will descend into 3 Royal Tombs.
- Next, visit the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut in Deir El Bahari, where the most beautiful murals of the expeditions to Punt will be pointed out to you, and you will have time to wander around this unique temple, dedicated to the Goddess Hathor.
- Continue for a quick photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenhotep III, before driving to the East Bank of Luxor.
- After lunch, visit Karnak Temple, where pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, and Ramses II performed their sacred rituals. The Karnak Temple complex contains holy lakes, hypostyle halls, obelisks, pylons, and shrines.
- Lastly, go to Luxor Temple, which gracefully decorates the banks of the River Nile and is dedicated not to a deity or pharaoh, but to the Rejuvenation of Kingship.
- Relax at night at a 5-star hotel.
