- Valley of the Kings - The tour guide will greet visitors at Luxor airport, waiting outside the arrival hall with a sign displaying their name to commence the tour to the Valley of the Kings. This site served as the royal burial ground for 62 Pharaohs and is situated on the west bank of Luxor.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - The Temple of Deir El-Bahri, dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, stands out as one of Egypt’s most distinctive temples due to its unique design and decorations. Unlike most New Kingdom funerary temples, it was constructed from limestone instead of sandstone.
- Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon are two massive statues that once guarded the entrance to the temple of Amenhotep III in ancient times. Today, they are the only remnants. The name “Colossi of Memnon” translates to ‘Ruler of the Dawn,’ likely due to the ‘singing’ sound one statue makes at dawn.
- Temple of Karnak - Karnak Temple is the largest temple complex in the world! It includes a collection of temples such as the Great Temple of Amon Ra, the Temple of Khonso, the Ipt Temple, the Temple of Ptah, the Temple of Montho, and the Temple of the God Osiris. These structures are enclosed by a 20-meter high mud brick wall. The Karnak complex comprises three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples, located about 3 kilometers north of Luxor, covering 100 hectares (247 acres).
Finally, visitors will explore the Luxor Temple, which was the focal point of the significant Opet festival. Primarily constructed by Amenhotep III and Rameses II, the temple served as the venue for the festival’s rituals, aimed at reconciling the ruler’s human and divine roles. At the end of the tour, guests will be transported back to Luxor airport.
- Luxor Temple - The Luxor Temple was the heart of the Opet festival, a major event. Built mainly by Amenhotep III and Rameses II, it was designed for the festival’s rituals, which sought to harmonize the ruler’s human and divine aspects. The tour concludes with a drive back to Luxor airport.
