Morning flight to Luxor, today will discover the majestic Karnak Temple, one of the largest religious buildings in the world. The temple took 1,500 years to complete and features contributions from around 30 different pharaohs. Marvel at the giant columns of Hypostyle Hall, check in Nile cruise then lunch, midafternoon we will visit Luxor Temple, strikingly beautiful piece of architecture built by the New Kingdom pharaoh Amenhotep III, and was originally joined to Karnak by an avenue of sphinxes. The temple comprises a striking array of great halls, courts, splendid columns and colonnades decorated with colossal statues of great pharaohs including Ramses II. An obelisk, one of a pair, remains at the temple. Its towering counterpart now stands in the Place de la Concorde in Paris, France. At night (the only temple in Egypt that opens till night time) the temple is beautifully illuminated with powerful lights, making the temple all the more evocative as the artificial light creates spectacle experience.

Day 4

 

And this morning we visit Luxor’s famous West Bank. An early start allows us to avoid some of the fierce heat as we venture to the awesome Valley of the Kings. The Valley of the Kings is studded with often highly decorated tombs. Some of the best known tombs are those of Ramses II, Seti I, and Amenhotep II and of course, the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Discovered intact in 1922 by Howard Carter, it was possibly one of the most dazzling archaeological finds ever. King Tutankhamen’s solid gold funerary mask and his priceless cache of treasures entombed with him for his journey to the afterlife are now on display at the world famous Egyptian Museum in Cairo. In all, more than 60 tombs have been excavated, though possibly the greatest find since the tomb of King Tutankhamen is that of the largest tomb believed to be the burial place of more than 50 sons of Ramses II. So far, more than 110 chambers and corridors have been discovered, coupled with 4 mummies.

(Note: The Valley of the Kings ticket includes entry to 3 tombs. A subset of the 64 tombs at the site are open at any point in time and your guide will offer advice on the best ones to visit on the day. The tomb of King Tutankhamen is nearly always open and requires an additional entrance fee to visit.)

Deir al- Bahri, otherwise known as the famous Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Rising out of the desert plain in a series of terraces, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is one of Egypt’s finest and most photographed monuments. Hatshepsut, the 3rd Queen ever to rule ancient Egypt, eventually declared herself a pharaoh. The last stop we make before leaving the West Bank is to see the imposing 18m-high Colossi of Memnon, which is all that remains of the temple of the hedonistic Amenophis III
