Day 1
Departure from Makadi Bay
Start your adventure with an early morning departure from your hotel in Makadi Bay. Sit back and relax in your private air-conditioned vehicle as you embark on a scenic 4-hour drive through the desert landscape to Luxor.
Valley of the Kings
Upon arrival in Luxor, begin your exploration of the West Bank, the ancient necropolis where many of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs were laid to rest. Your first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, home to the intricately decorated tombs of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs. Step inside a few of these awe-inspiring tombs, including those of Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, and Seti I, and marvel at the vibrant frescoes and carvings that have survived for thousands of years. Your guide will reveal the secrets of these burial chambers, providing insight into the ancient beliefs about the afterlife.
Temple of Hatshepsut
Next, visit the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to Egypt’s most famous female pharaoh. Nestled beneath towering cliffs, this temple’s stunning architecture is a testament to Hatshepsut’s reign and the skilled craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian builders. Explore the grand terraces, colonnades, and statues that make this mortuary temple one of the most unique in Egypt.
Lunch
After a morning of exploration, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Luxor, where you can sample authentic Egyptian cuisine in a relaxed setting.
Colossi of Memnon
Following lunch, make a stop at the iconic Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that once guarded the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. These towering figures provide a dramatic reminder of the grandeur of ancient Egypt.
Return to Luxor City
In the late afternoon, check into your comfortable hotel in Luxor. After some time to rest and refresh, you might choose to take a leisurely felucca ride on the Nile River, offering a serene way to enjoy the sunset over Luxor’s cityscape. Alternatively, if time permits, visit the Luxor Temple, beautifully illuminated in the evening, offering a magical atmosphere for your visit.
Day 2
Karnak Temple
Begin your second day in Luxor with a hearty breakfast before setting off to explore the grand temples of the East Bank. Your first stop is the Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt and one of the most impressive in the world. Walk through the massive Hypostyle Hall, a forest of towering columns decorated with intricate hieroglyphs. Your guide will explain the history and significance of this vast religious site, dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, and its role as the center of worship for more than 2,000 years.
Luxor Temple
Next, visit the nearby Luxor Temple, located in the heart of the city. This beautifully preserved temple complex is known for its grand statues, sphinx-lined avenues, and elegant colonnades.
