Post-balloon ride, your dedicated tour guide will greet you at the Colossi of Memnon, the colossal ancient statues that date back to the era of King Amenhotep III. Spend around 15 minutes exploring this iconic site before continuing your adventure.

Next, you’ll be transported to the renowned Valley of the Kings, a significant necropolis in the West Bank of Luxor. Explore four royal tombs, including the Tomb of Ramses, the Tomb of Horemheb, and the Tomb of Merenptah, during an enriching 2-hour visit.

One of the highlights includes the Tomb of King Ramesses IX, the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. Marvel at the intricate details and vibrant colors adorning the tomb, including the elaborate paintings on the ceiling featuring the goddess Nut stretching across space. Admire the grandeur of the colossal sarcophagus, one of the largest in the valley, despite the slight deterioration of some paintings.

The Tomb of Merenptah, located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial site of Pharaoh Merneptah, son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret. Discovered by Howard Carter in 1903, this tomb features a notable change in architectural style, with wider entrances and single-axis construction, distinguishing it from earlier tombs. The tomb contains intricate details and decorations reflecting the significance of the pharaoh.

The Tomb of Ramses III, designated as KV 11, is another significant complex in the Valley of the Kings. It is renowned for its colorful painted sunken reliefs depicting traditional ritual texts, as well as unusual secular scenes portraying foreign tributes and various detailed artifacts, giving it the alternate name ‘Tomb of the Harpers.’

Following your exploration of the tombs, you will be transported to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut (Deir el Bahari), a striking monument dedicated to the only woman to have ruled Egypt as Pharaoh. Queen Hatshepsut, an ancestor of King Tutankhamun, belonged to the same dynasty, and her temple stands as a testament to her remarkable legacy.

Next, your tour will take you to the renowned Karnak Temple, one of the most extraordinary architectural marvels in the world. Situated on the East Bank of Luxor, the Karnak complex of temples spans various reigns and boasts a range of awe-inspiring features. Marvel at the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 colossal columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, and the Temple of Amon adorned with exquisite lotus and papyrus designs. Additionally, the Granite Scarabaeus of Amenophis III and the Sacred Lake contribute to the site’s unparalleled magnificence.

During your tour, you’ll have the opportunity to marvel at the Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, along with the Obelisk of Tutomosis I at the Karnak Temple in Luxor, Egypt. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of these ancient structures during the 10-minute visit.

The Avenue of Sphinxes, an awe-inspiring stretch that formerly extended from Luxor to Karnak over a distance of 3 km, now remains a few hundred meters in length. Be mesmerized by this spectacular avenue, adorned with sphinxes on both sides, serving as a historical pathway connecting the Karnak Temple and the Luxor Temple. Spend 10 minutes soaking in the grandeur of this ancient thoroughfare.

Furthermore, you’ll encounter the Obelisk of Thutmose I, another significant structure with historical significance, during a brief 10-minute stop. Admire the architectural finesse and symbolic importance of this ancient monument.

Conclude your journey at the Luxor Temple, dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun-Ra, Mut, and Khonsu. Take in the majesty of the granite statues of Ramses the Great and immerse yourself in the rich historical legacy of these ancient temples, creating unforgettable memories during your 1-hour and 30-minute visit.
