- Temple of Karnak - Our tour guide will provide insights into the Karnak Temples, guiding you through the temple gate, the open courtyard, the largest hypostyle hall, the chapel that once housed the statue of the God Amon Ra, the obelisks, and the scarab statue.
- Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - Our tour guide will lead you to the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, considered the finest temple built for the lady Pharaoh. A Polish mission, in collaboration with UNESCO, is currently restoring this temple, which is fitting given the Polish expertise in polishing. You’ll have a wonderful time visiting this temple.
- Colossi of Memnon - Our tour guide will take you on a brief tour beside the two Colossi of Memnon, where you’ll have the opportunity to stop for photos before heading back.
- Valley of the Kings - Our tour guide will explain why the ancient Egyptians chose this location for their burials and provide details about the tombs, which are not included in the tour but can be visited for an additional fee. The guide will assist with payment options if needed. Following the guide’s instructions will help you avoid persistent souvenir salesmen. You can also visit the Alabaster factory in Luxor for authentic souvenirs. You’ll explore three recommended tombs on your own, as guided tours inside the tombs are no longer permitted. There’s a café where you can enjoy a coffee before rejoining the guide and returning to the car.
- Luxor - Our tour guide will accompany you on a motorboat ride on the Nile River, offering unique photo opportunities from the boat on this eternal river.
- Nile River Valley - Enjoy lunch with our tour guide at a special restaurant on either the west or east bank of the Nile. The meal is served buffet-style, and customers only need to pay for their drinks, as we cover the cost of the meal.
- Luxor - After lunch, our tour guide will either drive you back to the hotel or, if they have another tour the next day, stay in Luxor while our driver takes you back. You’ll enjoy the desert scenery on the return trip.
- Luxor - Our tour guide will assist you in crossing from the eastern bank of the Nile River to the western bank.
