Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Soma Bay, as you head through the scenic Eastern Desert, enjoying the changing landscape from arid plains to the lush Nile Valley.
The journey offers glimpses of rural Egyptian life, from small villages to expansive farms. Upon arrival in Luxor, meet your expert guide who will lead you on a journey through Egypt’s rich history.
Your first stop is the world-renowned Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest and most significant religious sites of ancient Egypt.
Dedicated to Amun-Ra, the chief deity of Thebes, Karnak is a sprawling complex filled with towering columns, monumental statues, and intricate hieroglyphs.
Explore the Great Hypostyle Hall, with its forest of massive columns that showcase the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture.
Next, visit Luxor Temple, situated along the banks of the Nile.
This temple, dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship, is famous for its monumental statues of Ramses II and beautifully preserved reliefs depicting royal and divine scenes. The Avenue of Sphinxes, which once connected Luxor Temple to Karnak Temple, adds a mystical atmosphere to the experience.
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, savoring dishes like grilled meats, falafel, and koshari, while soaking in views of the Nile River.
After a full day of exploration, check into your hotel in Luxor for some relaxation. In the evening, consider a leisurely stroll along the Nile Corniche, visiting local markets, or enjoying a traditional Egyptian café.
