Domestic flight route is from Cairo Airport to Luxor Airport, which spans a distance of roughly 670 kilometers and takes about an hour to travel. Passengers on this flight are often treated to picturesque views of the Nile River and the surrounding desert landscape throughout the duration of the journey.
Afterwards, you will proceed to the globally renowned Valley of the Kings, which served as the initial resting place of the young King Tutankhamun. The magnificent tombs, intricately carved deep into the desert rock, were discovered here and were richly adorned with treasures to accompany the Pharaohs into the afterlife. You will have the opportunity to visit three tombs, although the specific tombs accessible are determined by the Egyptian Government in order to preserve them from the large influx of visitors. As a result, the tombs available for visitation rotate throughout the year, and it is not possible to confirm which tombs you will see prior to your visit. King Tut's tomb is included if the option is selected.
Next, we will visit Hatshepsut's Temple at El Deir El Bahary. This magnificent temple, dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, the only female Pharaoh, is a sight to behold. It stands tall on a series of terraces and merges seamlessly with the sheer limestone cliffs of the desert plain, making it a breathtaking wonder to witness in person.
