• Valley of the Kings - At 7:00 PM, you’ll be picked up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan by a tour guide. You’ll then be driven in a private A/C vehicle to Luxor, which is 280 km north of Aswan. Arriving in Luxor at 10:00 AM, you’ll start your day tour by visiting the West Bank of the Nile, where you’ll explore the Valley of the Kings. This area is renowned for its magnificent burial architecture and is the final resting place of many kings. Notable tombs include those of King Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tutankhamun, King Ramesses VI, King Merenptah, and Amenhotep II.
• Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, you’ll visit the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El Deir El Bahari. This temple was built by Queen Hatshepsut, the daughter of Thutmosis I, who ruled Egypt for about 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (approximately 1490-1469 B.C.). She was the only woman to reign as a pharaoh in ancient Egypt. The tour continues to the Colossi of Memnon, the remnants of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.
• Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon (Arabic: el-Colossat or es-Salamat) are two enormous stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. They stand at the entrance of the ruined Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the largest temple in the Theban Necropolis. These statues have stood since 1350 BC and were well-known to ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as early modern travelers and Egyptologists. The statues feature 107 Roman-era inscriptions in Greek and Latin, dating from AD 20 to 250. Many inscriptions on the northern statue reference the Greek mythological king Memnon, whom the statue was mistakenly believed to represent. Scholars have debated how the identification of the northern colossus as “Memnon” is connected to the Greek name for the entire Theban Necropolis, known as the Memnonium.
• Temple of Karnak - The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak (/ˈkɑːr.næk/), is a vast collection of temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings near Luxor, Egypt. Construction began during the reign of Senusret I (1971–1926 BCE) in the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000–1700 BCE) and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BCE). Most of the existing buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was known in ancient Egypt as Ipet-isut (“The Most Selected of Places”) and was the main place of worship for the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad, with the god Amun at its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 along with the rest of the city. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby modern village of El-Karnak, located 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
• Luxor Temple - The Luxor Temple (Arabic: معبد الأقصر) is a large ancient Egyptian temple complex on the east bank of the Nile River in what is now Luxor (ancient Thebes). It was constructed around 1400 BCE and was known in the Egyptian language as ipet resyt, “the southern sanctuary.” It was one of the two main temples on the east bank, the other being Karnak. Unlike other temples in Thebes, Luxor Temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified pharaoh. Instead, it is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and may have been the site where many pharaohs were crowned, either in reality or conceptually (as in the case of Alexander the Great, who claimed he was crowned at Luxor but may never have traveled south of Memphis, near modern Cairo).

After the tour, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel.
