Meet your Egyptologist guide and explore Karnak Temple, one of Luxor’s most extensive archaeological complexes. Walk through the temple grounds and see the monumental gateways, obelisks, courtyards, and the columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall while your guide explains how the complex developed under successive pharaohs.

Continue to Luxor’s West Bank and visit the Valley of the Kings, the royal burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs. The standard entrance ticket normally permits entry to a selection of open tombs. Tomb availability can change because the archaeological authorities rotate access for conservation and operational reasons. Special-entry tombs, including the Tomb of Tutankhamun when available, are not included unless specifically added to your booking.

Visit the terraced mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. Explore the temple’s courtyards, colonnades, reliefs, and elevated setting beneath the limestone cliffs. Your guide will explain the reign of Hatshepsut and the architectural importance of the complex.

Stop for photographs at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental seated statues that once stood at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep II

Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor. Drinks at the restaurant are not included unless your selected booking option states otherwise.

A short Nile boat ride may be offered during the day for an additional charge, payable locally in cash. Participation is optional and depends on time and local operating conditions.
