Tour Overview
Pick up at your accommodation at Cairo to be brought to Cairo International Airport for a domestic flight to Luxor International Airport where your tour guide will meet you to start your Luxor Tour. We start at the Valley of the Kings where you will descend into 3 Royal Tombs. Next is a visit to the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatchepsut in Deir ElBahari with the beautiful murals, and you'll have time to wander around yourself. We continue for a quick photo-stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues guarding the ongoing excavation of the palace of Amenophis III. After lunch at a good local restaurant we drive to the East Bank to the Karnak Temple to show you where Pharaohs like Tutankhamun, Hatchepsut and Ramses II performed their sacred rituals. From the Karnak Temple we conclude the day at the Luxor Temple, gracefully decorates the banks of the river Nile and is dedicated to the Rejuvenation of Kingship and centre of the Opet Festival. At the end of the tour you will be brought to your Luxor hotel accommodation. The next day you will be brought to Luxor International Airport for a domestic flight to Cairo International Airport.
