Highlights
  • Dendera Temple Complex - Our guide will pick you up from your hotel, and then you’ll drive for about an hour. Upon arriving at Dendera, you’ll begin your tour by visiting the Dendera complex, which was built over various periods, including the Middle Kingdom, the Ptolemaic era, and the Roman provincial period.

  • Valley of the Kings - Next, you’ll drive to the west bank of Luxor to visit the Valley of the Kings, where New Kingdom pharaohs carved their tombs into the mountains to hide their treasures and protect their mummies.

  • Howard Carter House - Then, you’ll drive to the domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun’s tomb. Surrounded by a garden on an otherwise barren slope above the road from Deir Al Bahari to the Valley of the Kings, the house has been restored and decorated with pictures and tools from the excavations. An exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has been constructed on the edge of the garden, along with an exhibition related to the discovery of the tomb.

  • Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor - Next, you’ll move to the Valley of the Nobles, which is a collection of tombs in Luxor belonging to nobles like Ramose, Senniffer, Menna, and over 400 other Theban nobles. These tombs, marked by numbers, feature beautiful carved scenes. Nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum, there are more than 400 tombs.

  • Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II) - Then, you’ll proceed to the Ramesseum Temple, considered the memorial (or mortuary) temple of Pharaoh Ramses II. Located in the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile River, across from modern Luxor, the design of Ramesses’s mortuary temple follows the standard canons of New Kingdom temple architecture.

  • Colossi of Memnon - Then, you’ll make a photo stop in front of the gigantic statues of Memnon.

  • Temple of Karnak - Returning to the east bank, you’ll visit the largest temple ever built: Karnak Temple. Constructed over 2,000 years and covering about 63 acres, you’ll have the opportunity to take beautiful photos among its huge pillars and obelisks.

  • Luxor Temple - Finally, you’ll be transferred to enjoy Luxor Temple on the east bank of Luxor, where ancient Egyptian, Christian, and Islamic features are displayed.
