Day 1:
Your guide for the day will pick you up and transfer you
and start your tour with a visit to the Temple of Karnak.
It is a city of temples built over 2000 years and dedicated to the Theben triad of Amon, Mut and Khonsu. For
the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population this could only
have been the place of the gods. It is the mother of all religious
buildings, the largest ever made and a place of pilgrimage for nearly
4,000 years.
The tour ends with a visit to the Temple of Luxor which is close to the Nile and parallel with the
riverbank. King Amenhotep III who reigned 1390-53 BC built this
beautiful temple and dedicated it to Amon-Re, king of the gods,
his consort Mut, and their son Khonsu. At the end of the day return
to your hotel. Overnight in Luxor.
Day 2:
Your day will start with an early breakfast at the hotel and
check out. Then you will start your tour on the West Bank to visit

Valley and the West Valley. It is the East Valley which most
tourists visit and where most of the tombs of the New Kingdom Pharaohs
are located.

Queens, also known as Biban El Harim. These belonged to the
queens of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties. There are between 75 to
