Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Soma Bay, as you journey westward through the desert to Luxor, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum.

Along the way, witness rural Egypt’s stunning landscapes, fields of sugarcane, and picturesque villages before arriving in Luxor, home to some of Egypt’s most impressive monuments.

Begin your exploration at the Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest religious sites in the world. Dedicated to Amun-Ra, this vast temple is filled with towering columns, obelisks, and vibrant reliefs.

Don’t miss the Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns that bring the grandeur of ancient Egyptian religion to life.

Next, visit Luxor Temple, located along the banks of the Nile. This majestic temple, adorned with scenes of Ramses II’s military victories, boasts the stunning Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected this site to Karnak Temple.

Wander through its courtyards, pylons, and sanctuaries to uncover its role in ancient Egyptian royal ceremonies.

Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, offering a chance to sample regional specialties like koshari, falafel, and grilled meats, while taking in serene views of the Nile.

In the afternoon, cross the Nile to the West Bank and explore the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of many of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Walk through the tombs, decorated with vivid murals and hieroglyphs that illustrate the journey into the afterlife.

Next, visit the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Amenhotep III that have stood the test of time for over 3,000 years.

Return to your hotel in Luxor for a relaxing evening, perhaps enjoying a peaceful Nile-side dinner or a leisurely stroll through the town.
