The Karnak TempleAfter arriving from Hurghada, we will first visit famous Karnak Temple! The Karnak Temple is Egypt's largest temple, and its ruins can still be seen today. The Karnak Temple, which was constructed between 2200 and 360 BC by several pharaohs, includes the great temple of Amun, as well as other smaller temples, chapels, and the great sacred lake. Hatshepsut, Seti I, Ramses II, and Ramses III were the most powerful pharaohs involved in its construction.

Temple of HatshepsutAfter the Karnak temple, we will visit the temple of one of the most interesting rulers of Egypt - Queen Hatshepsut! The architect Sennenmut designed the Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as the Temple of Deir el-Bahari. It was founded in honor of Hatshepsut, Egypt's only long-reigning female pharaoh. It was constructed between the seventh and twenty-first years of her reign, with a part excavated in the rock and three terraces on the outside.

Valley of the KingsAfter lunch, we will continue our visit to Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings is an Ancient Egyptian necropolis where many of the New Kingdom's pharaohs are buried; more than 60 tombs cut into the rocks have been found. The valley was once known as "Ta Iset Maat," which means "place of truth." King Tuthmosis I, of the 18th dynasty, was the first pharaoh to be buried in the Valley of the Kings.

Colossi of MemnonAt the end of our tour, we will visit Colossi of Memnon. The Colossi of Memnon are two huge statues of Amenophis III that guarded his funerary temple in Luxor, on the Nile's west bank. The sculptures, which date back 3,400 years, depict a peaceful pharaoh staring at the Rising Sun with his hands on his knees. His mother, Queen Mutemwiya, and his wife, Queen Tiy, are sculpted in the lower section.
