You will be picked up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh by a private air-conditioned vehicle and taken to Sharm El Sheikh Airport where you will board your plane to fly to Luxor. Once you have arrived, you will be met by our Egyptologist tour guide who will accompany you for the day.
You will start your tour in Luxor by visiting the West Bank of The Nile River to visit the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon), and then visit the Valley of the Kings, where the magnificent tombs were discovered, those tombs were carved deep into the desert rock, richly decorated and filled with treasures for the afterlife of the pharaohs.
Then you will continue the tour to visit the Hatshepsut temple at El Deir El Bahary, this impressive temple was dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut the only female pharaoh. It rises out of the desert in a series of terraces and merges with the sheer limestone cliffs that surround it.
You will then drive to the East Bank for lunch time, then you will enjoy a trip to visit the magnificent Karnak temple the largest place of worship ever built. Its ancient name Ipet-isut means “The Most Sacred of Places”. The temple or more correctly, the complex of temples, was built over two thousand years ago by generation after generation of pharaohs. Within the complex, the great “Hypostyle Hall” is an incredible forest of giant pillars.
You will then make the return trip to the airport to catch your return flight to Sharm.
After you finish your tour, you can do something special which is optional by having a relaxing hour on a felucca in the Nile river with the view of the city in a side and the view of the countryside on the other side during the sunset time.
