ABOUT THE TRIP

Get ready for a day full of history and ancient mysteries! Early in the morning, after hotel pickup, you will head to Luxor, the former capital of the Egyptian pharaohs, once known as Thebes. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, where almost every stone tells a story.

You will start by visiting the Valley of the Kings, where you will walk through the tomb interiors decorated with paintings meant to guide the pharaohs' souls to the afterlife. For an additional fee, you can also enter the most famous tomb of Tutankhamun. Next, you will visit the monumental Temple of Hatshepsut, one of the first female pharaohs. Her temple is a masterpiece of ancient craftsmanship. The next stop is the Colossi of Memnon, stone giants that have guarded the Nile for over 3,000 years. You can also participate in a short Nile cruise (at an additional charge), offering a completely different perspective on Egypt. 

After a short break and lunch at a local restaurant, you will head to Karnak - a vast temple complex. There, you will see the massive hypostyle hall, with over 130 columns reaching up to 24 meters high, along with numerous inscriptions that depict triumphs, ceremonies, and festivals. To end the tour, you will visit a papyrus museum, where you will learn how ancient Egyptians created the first "books".
