Start your exploration on the West Bank of the Nile with a visit to the Valley of the Kings. This magnificent archaeological site served as the burial ground for pharaohs of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties. Here, you’ll explore the tombs of notable kings such as Tutmosis I, Tutmosis III, Tutankhamun, Ramses VI, Merenptah, and Amenhotep II.

Next, visit the stunning Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also known as El Deir El Bahari. Built by Hatshepsut, the daughter of Thutmosis I, who ruled Egypt for about 20 years during the 18th Dynasty, this temple stands as a testament to her reign and achievements as the only female pharaoh of ancient Egypt.

Continue your tour with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon. These two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III have stood since 1350 BC at the entrance to his ruined mortuary temple. The statues are famous for their historical inscriptions in Greek and Latin and for their association with the Greek mythological king Memnon.

Cross to the East Bank of Luxor to visit the Karnak Temple Complex. This vast site features a mix of temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings constructed over centuries, starting from the Middle Kingdom and continuing into the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Karnak was the main place of worship for the Theban Triad, with the god Amun at its head, and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Thebes.

After completing your visits, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor. Reflect on the day’s discoveries and the profound historical significance of the sites you’ve explored.
