Luxor Full Day Tour: West and East Banks With Lunch

Your guide will meet you at your hotel reception to commence your full-day tour.

The Valley of the Kings is one of Egypt’s main sights, not only in Luxor, and must be viewed for a better understanding of the nature of religion and the construction of tombs in Ancient Egypt.

Egyptian tombs in Ancient Egypt suffered a lot from grave robbery. New Kingdom pharaohs tried to conceal their graves from the grave robbers, deciding to avoid constructing the pyramids and to cut their graves deep within the mountain instead.

The Valley of the Kings up until August 2020 contains 65 tombs. The first pharaoh who cut his tomb in the site was Tuthmosis I (1506-1493 BC) of the 18th Dynasty, while Ramses XI (1107-1078 BC) of the 20th Dynasty was the last pharaoh to be buried in the Valley of the Kings.

We will proceed to the unique Temple of the Female Pharaoh Hatshepsut.
Next, you will stop at the Colossi of Memnon for a photo opportunity.

Then lunch break at a local restaurant.

After lunch, you will visit the largest temple in the world at Karnak.
Karnak Temple is the world’s largest religious complex. It encompasses over 300 acres. You will end your lovely day at the majestic Luxor Temple.
