• Valley of The Kings - At 7:00 PM, guests will be picked up from their hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan by a tour guide and transported in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Luxor, located 280 km north of Aswan. Arrival in Luxor is at 10:00 AM, where the day tour begins with a visit to the West Bank of the Nile, featuring the Valley of The Kings. This site is renowned for its impressive architectural grandeur used for royal burials, with many kings interred here. 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 - The tour continues with a visit to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, known as El Deir El Bahari. This temple was constructed by Queen Hatshepsut, the daughter of Thutmosis I, who ruled Egypt for about 20 years during the 18th Dynasty (approximately 1490-1469 B.C.), and was the only female pharaoh to reign over ancient Egypt. The tour then proceeds to the Colossi of Memnon, 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, positioned 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, dated between AD 20 and 250. Many inscriptions on the northern statue reference the Greek mythological king Memnon, whom the statue was mistakenly believed to represent.

Scholars have debated the connection between the identification of the northern colossus as “Memnon” and the Greek name for the entire Theban Necropolis as the Memnonium.

• Temple of Karnak - The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly referred to as Karnak (/ˈkɑːr.næk/), is a vast collection of temples, pylons, chapels, and other structures 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), although most 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 served as the main worship site for the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad, with the god Amun as 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 lends 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 situated on the east bank of the Nile River in the city now known as Luxor (ancient Thebes), constructed around 1400 BCE. In the Egyptian language, it was called 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 version of the pharaoh in death. Instead, it is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and may have been the site where many Egyptian 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, guests will be transferred back to their hotel.
