Day 1: Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple

You will visit the Temple of Karnak. This city of temples was built over 2000 years. The main three temples are dedicated to Amon, Mut and Khonsu. For the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population this could only have been the place of the gods. Karnak Temple is the largest of all religious buildings and a place of pilgrimage for nearly 4,000 years.

Visit the Temple of Luxor close to the Nile and parallel with the riverbank. King Amenhotep III who reined 1390-53 BC built this beautiful temple and dedicated it to Amon-Ra, King of the Gods, his consort Mut, and their son Khonsu. The first day ends with a spectacular Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple and deluxe accommodation at a local luxury hotel where you will enjoy dinner.

Day 2: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut

The day starts off with breakfast at the hotel and on to the Valley of the Kings where most of the tombs of the New Kingdom Pharaohs are located. There are over 75 tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

The tour ends with a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut named Deir El Bahari, one of the most beautiful of the royal mortuary temples and of course you have to see the Colossi of Memnon.
