  1. Karnak Open Air Museum
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple — one of the largest religious structures ever built. As you walk through its forest of colossal columns and towering obelisks, your guide will unravel stories of ancient pharaohs and powerful priests. Don’t miss the Sacred Lake and the famous Hypostyle Hall, where history feels larger than life.
  2. Luxor

    After exploring Karnak, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile River. This well-earned break gives you a taste of authentic Egyptian cuisine while soaking in views of the river that has shaped Egypt’s destiny for millennia.
  3. Valley of the Kings
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Next, cross the Nile to Luxor’s West Bank and descend into the Valley of the Kings — the final resting place of Egypt’s most legendary rulers. Step inside a selection of richly decorated tombs carved deep into the mountains, including those of Ramses and other New Kingdom pharaohs. (Entrance to King Tut’s tomb is optional.)
  4. Temple of Hatshepsut

    Carved directly into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut is a breathtaking blend of architecture and storytelling. Learn how Egypt’s most successful female pharaoh rose to power and left behind this majestic tribute.
  5. Colossi of Memnon
    1h
    Before heading back, make a quick stop to see the massive Colossi of Memnon — two towering statues that have guarded Theban lands for over 3,000 years. Your guide will share the legends behind these silent sentinels as you capture memorable photos.
