Our representative will greet you at the cruise ship exit door in the morning and accompany you to the well-known Karnak Temple, one of the most important sites of worship ever built. Your personal Egyptologist guide will be with you, and their knowledge will guarantee an incredibly enlightening encounter!
Translating from the old name "I pet-it" means "The most sacred of places." The temple, or perhaps more precisely, the complex of temples, was built by several pharaohs in Egypt more than 2,000 years ago. The majestic "Hypostyle Hall" is a splendid collection of massive pillars inside the building.
Your tour guide will take you to the majestic Luxor temple, built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, for rituals and feasts honoring the deity Amon, followed by a relaxing lunch and a visit to the restaurant at the Mercure Hotel. Later on, you will commence on a remarkable journey, taking in a peaceful sail along the River Nile in a Felucca, a "typical Egyptian sailing boat," while taking in the gorgeous sunset backdrop. Your memories of this encounter will undoubtedly be vivid. You'll then be transported to your hotel to check in and spend some time there at your leisure. after an optional trip to view the Luxor Karnack Temple's spectacular light and sound show, you will return to your hotel to rest, awaiting tomorrow's exploration.
Breakfast is served in the morning at your Luxor hotel. After breakfast, you will be taken to view the two massive statues of Amenhotep III (the Colossi of Memnon) on the West Bank of the Nile River by your English-speaking private Egyptologist guide. You will next travel to the Valley of the Kings, the location of the magnificent tombs carved deep into the rock face of the desert. The tombs were beautifully ornamented and housed every expensive item that the pharaohs thought they might want in the afterlife.
We will also be able to visit three tombs and then next proceed to El Deer El Bahary to pay a visit to the beautiful Hatshepsut temple. As she rises from the desert plain in a series of terraces and merges in with the surrounding sheer limestone cliffs, this temple honors Queen Hatshepsut, the only female pharaoh.
We also provide lunch when we wrap up this incredible journey. At the end of the day, your guide will accompany you back to the cruise ship in Safaga Port; the time you depart from Safaga Port (220km) will depend on when your ship leaves Luxor.
