Karnak Temple:
The great Karnak temple complex is an extraordinary open-air museum that was the capital for the religious worship of the deities in Upper Egypt from 2055 BC until the Ptolemaic era in 100 AD. It holds the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian temples and statues.
Luxor Temple:
The ancient Egyptian home of celebration was created in 1400 BC during the reign of Amenhotep III and completed by Ramses II. It is the famous home of the festival of Opet to honor the pharaohs' powers of divinity, and only the heavenly moon of the night can reveal its beauty and ancient secrets.

Day 2: Luxor West Bank Tour
Breakfast will be served on board, and then you will be accompanied to discover the sites of the West Bank, including:
Valley of the Kings:
During the New Kingdom (1570-1070 BC), the ancient royalty sought to immortalize their names and pass through the afterlife, so 20 royal tombs filled with golden treasures and artifacts, and enchanting decorations came to be right next to their mummies, such as those of Rameses VI, Amenhotep I, Seti I, Tutankhamun, and more in the Valley of the Kings.
Hatshepsut Temple:
One of the intoxicating architectural creations of the ancient Egyptian empire is the Hatshepsut temple, which exhibits the importance of Queen Hatshepsut (1507-1458 BC). The temple's design is a true piece of work constructed in the style of classical architecture of the New Kingdom.
Colossi of Memnon:
The Colossi of Memnon were constructed by Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350) in Cairo, then moved to be at the entrance of Luxor city, standing 18 m (60ft) tall and weighing 720 tons each.

Edfu Temple:
The temple of Edfu is one of the few temples ever built in the history of Egypt between 237 BC and 57 BC in the Ptolemaic era to be the official home of the sky god Horus, which merges Greek and ancient Egyptian architectural design in the most captivating way.
Kom Ombo Temple:
The one-of-a-kind double temple of Kom Ombo, the house of the crocodile god, is located across the Nile bank and was constructed in the Greco-Roman period between 205 BC and 180 BC.
