Highlights
- Marsa Alam - You will be picked up from your hotel in Hurghada and then travel to Luxor, arriving in approximately 4 hours.
- Temple of Karnak - Upon arrival in Luxor, you will head to the Karnak Temple, the largest temple ever built, spanning 2,000 years and covering about 63 acres. Enjoy taking photos among its massive pillars and obelisks.
- Valley of the Kings - Next, you will drive to the west bank 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, visit the domed mud-brick house where Howard Carter lived during his search for Tutankhamun’s tomb. The house, surrounded by a garden on a barren slope above the road from Deir Al Bahari to the Valley of the Kings, has been restored and decorated with pictures and excavation tools. An exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber has been constructed on the edge of the garden, along with an exhibition related to the tomb’s discovery.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, explore the mortuary temple of the famous Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari and learn about her fascinating story with her nephew.
- Art Valley Alabaster Factory - After that, visit the alabaster factory where people still bring stones from the quarry and craft them into various handmade items, just like the ancient Egyptians did.
- Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor - Then, head to the Valley of the Nobles, a collection of tombs belonging to nobles in Luxor, such as Ramose, Senniffer, Menna, and over 400 other Theban nobles. These tombs, nestled in the foothills opposite the Ramesseum, feature beautifully carved scenes.
- Ramesseum (Mortuary Temple of Ramses II) - Next, visit the Ramesseum Temple, 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.
- Habiba Hand Weaving - Then, visit Habiba for hand-woven scarves made from Egyptian cotton, linen, and wool. Local hand weavers also sell machine-made scarves and shawls in cotton and cotton blends. Located in a rural setting on the west bank in Luxor, with views of the nobles’ tombs, you will see women still working and making handmade cloth using traditional methods.
- Colossi of Memnon - End your tour on the west bank with a photo stop in front of the gigantic statues of Memnon.
- Marsa Alam - At the end of the tour, you will drive back to Marsa Alam.
