Tour Plan
Hotel Pickup
Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in Marsa Alam using a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a deluxe day trip to the ancient city of Luxor. Your private tour guide will be with you as you explore the famous historical landmarks of Luxor.
Valley of the Kings
The Sky King's inner part of the heavens was the astronomical bathroom, the home of the highest-ranking royals of ancient Egypt. The ones like Thutmose I, Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II used to celebrate along with the elite priests and noblemen of dynasties 18th, 19th, and 20th. Every night, on holidays and at festivals, they all met. A total of 63 underground tombs are complete of wood, marble, and metal things attached to them, displaying striking embellishments in the valley. It was recognized worldwide as one of the most important sites. Valley Valley Valley of the Kings Valley of the Kings is the world-famous archaeological site at the center of the legendary hill.
Hatshepsut Temple
The outstanding Luxor Temple of Hatshepsut, called the "Holy of Holies," represents the divine feminine principle, reflects the ideal of beauty and serves as a symbol of royal power and sovereignty; so it presents to us the most successful female ruler in ancient Egyptian history. Queen Hatshepsut who was born in 1479 BC The temple was built to honour the god Amun but also importantly to preserve her divine memory. Among the special features of the temple are three well-designed stories on the cliffs of Deri El Bahari which make it so interesting! The idea for the temple comes from the classical architecture of the New Kingdom and we know it is the derivation of this masterpiece.
Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are made out of huge pieces of quartzite sandstone, each measuring 60 feet (18 m) high and weighing 720 tons, all of which are arranged in such a way that they look like the Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350). An earthquake in 27 BC eradicated the Colossi of Memnon, but they were reconstructed several times during the Roman period until the latest in 199 AD. These statues became famous because of the phenomenon known as The Vocal of Memnon, emerging during the Greco-Roman period.
Lunch Time
After that, we will make our way to a neighborhood food shop, where we will have a nice meal. Then, you will go on with the rest of your day tour from here.
Karnak Temple
The Karnak Temple Complex is a true reflection of the ancient Egyptians' steadfast belief and deep devotion to their gods. It is the biggest temple complex in the world. The exclusive position was finished between 2000 BC and 30 BC and is from the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman era. It spans 247 acres and contains numerous temples and shrines devoted to innumerable deities. The religious gathering was part of the veneration of the Theban triad that consisted of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu and survived for 1500 years. The site is home to the sacred Avenue of Sphinxes, the hypostyle hall full of interesting carvings, paintings, and other mystical artifacts.
The last thing you will be told is that a private, air-conditioned car will drive you back to your hotel in Marsa Alam.
