We will meet you from your hotel in Hurghada, then transfer you to Luxor by air-conditioned car. The journey takes 3.5 hours by car with a majestic view of the mountains of the Western Sahara. Upon arrival in Luxor, your tour will begin with a visit to Karnak Temple, the largest temple in the world! The complex contains a group of temples such as the Great Temple of Amun-Ra, the Temple of Khensu, the Temple of Epit, the Temple of Ptah, the Temple of Montu, and the Temple of the god Osiris. All these buildings are surrounded by a 20-meter-high mud-brick fence. The Karnak Temple actually consists of three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several external temples located about 3 kilometers north of Luxor on 100 hectares (247 acres) of land.

The Luxor Temple was the center of the most important festival, the Opt Festival. The temple was built by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, and was intended to be a festival ritual. The festival aimed to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with the divine function. Continue your trip to visit the Valley of the Kings, which was the royal tomb of 62 pharaohs, and is located on the west bank of Luxor.

Then to the temple of Deir el-Bahari of Queen Hatshepsut, which is one of the most distinguished temples in all of Egypt in terms of design and decoration, and was built of limestone and not sandstone like most other funerary temples in the New Kingdom. Finally, to the statues of Memnon, two monumental statues that guarded the entrance to the temple of Amenhotep III in ancient times, and only now remain. The name of the statue of Memnon means "the ruler of the dawn" and may have been given this name because one of the statues was singing at dawn
