Upon arrival Luxor you will be met by our representative (holding Egypt Travelcations sign with your Name). Then you will be transferred to your hotel to spend the night.
Our head Representative will welcome you, help you check-in to the Hotel and let you know the plan for the next few days.
Luxor is our base for two days of exiting exploration. First the East Bank- Karnak temple: the main center of worship in ancient Egypt and Luxor temple: has huge papyrus columns and was dedicated to the god Amun. One of its striking aspects is the remains of an ancient Christian Church and Abu Haggag Mosque. Here three religions represented in one place.
An early morning and after breakfast, continuation our touring in Luxor by visiting the West Bank - Valley of the Kings: the remote, barren. It was the necropolis of the New Kingdom pharaohs. By digging their tombs deep into the Theban Hills, pharaohs from Tuthmosis I on hoped to stop robbers stealing the priceless possessions buried with them Hatshepsut Temple: Against its stark mountainous backdrop, the partly rock-hewn Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir al-Bahri is a breath-taking sight. Colossi of Memnon: the two enthroned statues of Amenhotep III are the first monuments most visitors see on arriving in the West Bank.
After breakfast, transfer to bid farewell to the land of the pharaohs.
