From the moment you step into the Valley of the Kings, the air thickens with the whispers of ancient secrets, while the Temple of Hatshepsut rises majestically. The colossal statues of Memnon loom like silent sentinels, and the echoes of history resound as you wander the hallowed grounds of Karnak and Luxor, where every stone tells a tale waiting to be unveiled.
Leaping out of the present, replace your attire with that of an ancient Egyptian and travel back to the Valley of Kings in Egypt, which is rich in bizarre mountain crafted tombs. These tombs are also accessible from the inside where one can view the spectacular and beautiful paintings and reliefs. You can also pay some extra money and visit the tomb of King Tutankhamen but disappointment in the middle is the absence of your guide as he stays elsewhere.
After that, continue on to the fascinating Temple Of Hatshepsut, the Egyptian temple that is dedicated to the female pharaoh who ruled categorizing herself as a man. While the Egyptologist guide cut short the explanation of the temple history, some free time to explore the courtyards and especially see the beautiful hieroglyphics has been provided.
We move forward to visit the Colossi of Memnon which are the remains found in the funerary temple of king Amenhotep III. The colossal statues are in fact created from one slab of hard rock.
In the afternoon, enjoy a private tour of Luxor's East Bank, beginning with the karnak temple complex. The Avenue of the Sphinx beckons you, bordered with sphinxes of elaborate designs. As one traverses the temple’s rooms, one can observe how the history of artistic impression and styles developed over the period of about three thousand years, then appearing the great hall with 134 enormous columns and a sacred water ground for pharaohs’ cleansings.
At the end, tour the Temple of Luxor, which shares the history of Karnak and was also once connected to it by the Avenue of Sphinxes. This temple is one of the best preserved temples with big statues of Ramses II and many hieroglyphs that will be explained by your guide.
After enjoying an excursion where many highlights of sites in Luxor were visited, it will be time to get back to your cruise and that marks the end of our exploration
