Valley of the Kings
The trip will begin with a visit to the Valley of the Kings, the royal cemetery of the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1070 BC).

The Temple of Hatshepsut
Next, you will visit the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. This stylish terraced temple was constructed in the 15th century BC to honor one of the most successful female rulers of Egypt.

Colossi of Memnon
After this, you will see the Colossi of Memnon, two massive seated statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that once guarded the entrance to the Theban necropolis. These iconic monuments have stood on the Theban plain for over three thousand years and remain one of Luxor's most recognizable landmarks.
Karnak Temples
You will also explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex, dating back to 1971 BC and 20 BC, the largest religious site ever built.

The unfinished Obelisk
Next, you will visit the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. This obelisk was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, and was meant to be the tallest obelisk in the history of its construction. During its carving, cracks were found that led to the abandonment of the project, leaving behind the rare and valuable experience of the ancient Egyptian method of stone-cutting.
Philae Temple
Continue your tour to the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis. Dating back to the Greco-Roman period(380-362 BC), this temple is closely associated with the myth of Osiris, his death at the hands of Set, and his resurrection through the devotion of Isis.
