Don’t miss the Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, thought to represent the power of King Khafre.

After your tour of the pyramids, you’ll have time to visit Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s famous and vibrant market. Wander through the labyrinth of narrow streets filled with shops selling spices, handmade jewelry, and local crafts. It’s a perfect place to buy souvenirs to take home.

Discover Luxor – Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple & Valley of the Kings

Begin your second day with an early breakfast at your hotel in Cairo. Afterward, you’ll be transferred to Cairo Airport by private car, where you’ll board your flight to Luxor.

Upon arrival, your private guide will meet you at the airport and accompany you to your first historical site of the day, ensuring a seamless and informative experience throughout.

Start your Luxor adventure with a visit to the Karnak Temple, one of the largest and most impressive religious sites in the world. Dedicated to the god Amun-Ra, this massive complex was constructed over 2,000 years. As you walk through the grand Hypostyle Hall, with its towering columns, you’ll feel transported to ancient Egypt. Your guide will explain the significance of key areas, such as the Sacred Lake and the Obelisk of Hatshepsut, while offering fascinating insights into the rituals and history associated with the temple.

Next, head to the Luxor Temple, located on the banks of the Nile River. This majestic temple was also dedicated to Amun-Ra and is famous for its grand entrance lined with an obelisk and statues of pharaohs. Your guide will explain the significance of the temple, especially during the Opet Festival, when the statues of the gods would travel from Karnak to Luxor.

After exploring these incredible temples, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, many of which offer beautiful views of the Nile River. Relax and savor traditional Egyptian dishes, such as koshari, molokhia, and grilled fish.

In the afternoon, you’ll cross the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank to explore the famous Valley of the Kings. This burial site for Egypt’s greatest pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, is home to richly decorated tombs filled with vibrant murals depicting the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. Your guide will explain the history and rituals surrounding these tombs, giving you a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian beliefs.

Next, visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a magnificent structure built into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains. This temple, dedicated to Egypt’s female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, is known for its stunning architecture, with grand terraces and colonnades that blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. Learn about Hatshepsut’s reign and her remarkable achievements.

Your final stop will be the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Amenhotep III. These statues have stood for over 3,000 years and are famous for the eerie sounds they once made, which the ancient Egyptians believed were the voices of the statues.

After a full day of exploration in Luxor, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Makadi Bay by private car, reflecting on the unforgettable sights and experiences of Egypt’s ancient history.
