Our representatives from
Around Egypt Tours will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor to begin your exploration of the Luxor attractions. You will begin with the West Bank, where you will visit the
Valley of the Kings, the very magnificence of architecture that was used for the burial. Several kings find their final resting place in this valley; the most well-known tombs belong to King Thutmose I, Thutmose III, Tutankhamen, King Ramses VI, King Merneptah, and Amenhotep II. Then continue on to the
Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. It was built by the queen herself, the daughter of Thutmose I, who ruled Egypt for 20 years during the 18th Dynasty, the only pharaonic woman who ruled ancient Egypt. On your way, you will then pass the
colossi of Memnon, the remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III. Next, you will cross over to the East Bank of Luxor, where you will enjoy lunch at a good quality restaurant before visiting
Karnak Temples, the most important place of worship in history, dedicated to Amun, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu. The last temple you will visit is the
Temple of Luxor, which commenced under Amunhotep III in the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom and was completed under Ramesses II in the 19th Dynasty. You will be returned to your hotel in Luxor.
