Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Step into the royal tombs of ancient Egypt where pharaohs like Ramses and Tutankhamun were laid to rest. Your guide will help decode the richly decorated walls and hidden symbolism inside these remarkably preserved chambers. You'll visit three tombs — each one offering a different glimpse into Egypt’s spiritual beliefs and artistry.

2

Marvel at this stunning mortuary temple built for Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh. Carved directly into limestone cliffs, Hatshepsut’s temple features elegant colonnades, statues, and terraces. Your guide will share the fascinating story of how she defied tradition to rule Egypt in a man’s world.

3
Stop 3

Pause for photos at these two towering statues that once guarded the entrance to Amenhotep III’s temple. Although weathered by time, the 18-meter-tall figures still stand proudly against the desert backdrop — a striking reminder of Egypt’s grandeur.

4

Midway through your day, you’ll stop for a relaxing lunch at a hand-picked local restaurant in Luxor. Savor authentic Egyptian cuisine — think freshly baked baladi bread, grilled meats, aromatic rice, and seasonal vegetables. Vegetarian options are available, and your guide can help tailor your meal to your taste. It’s a great chance to recharge and experience Egypt’s flavors beyond the historical sites.

5
Stop 5

Cross to Luxor’s East Bank to explore the largest temple complex in ancient Egypt. Walk through the forest of giant columns in the Hypostyle Hall and discover hidden chapels, sacred lakes, and shrines spanning over 2,000 years of history.

6
Stop 6

End your day at the elegant Luxor Temple, where pharaohs, Greeks, and Romans all left their mark. As the late afternoon light casts a golden hue over the columns and statues, your guide will reveal stories of ancient festivals, deities, and ceremonies that once brought this temple to life.
