Day 1: Luxor East Bank Tour

First, an A.C. car will take you from your Port Ghalib hotel to Luxor in the morning. Then, you will begin your tour by visiting the East Bank.

Karnak Temple

Builders constructed the magnificent Karnak Temple over $4,000$ years ago. This complex covers over $247\text{ acres}$ on the Nile’s east bank. Essentially, it hosted the shrines and temples of ancient Egyptian deities like Isis, Ptah, and Amun. This makes the complex one of the world’s largest open-air museums.

Temple of Luxor

Next, you will proceed to the Temple of Luxor. Pharaoh Amenhotep III built this blessed temple in $1400$ BC. Later, Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Alexander the Great enlarged it. They all worshipped the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu here. This temple became a center for celebration and festivals.

Evening Activities

Afterward, you will take a boat ride to an island. There, you will enjoy lunch. Then, you will check into your 5-star hotel and relax.

• Karnak’s Sound and Light Show: Luxor’s lovely evening offers a magical spectacle at Karnak. Magical lights paint every statue, bringing life to the stone. Intricate melodies retell the history of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Finally, you will check into your 5-star hotel in Luxor for the night.

Day 2: Visit the West Bank of Luxor

First, you will start your second day with breakfast. Next, you will check out of your hotel. A private air-conditioned car and your guide will take you to the West Bank.

The Valley of the Kings

The magnificent Valley of the Kings is the “abode of the immortals.” It lies in the heart of a mountain. Specifically, it contains about $63$ spectacular tombs from the New Kingdom ($1570-1070$ BC). These tombs hold captivating collections of jewels, artifacts, and wall decorations.

Temple of Hatshepsut

A stunning architectural wonder sits in the bosom of Luxor’s West Bank. Builders created the Temple of Hatshepsut to honor the creator deity Amun. It also highlights the vast legacy of one of ancient Egyptian history’s most successful monarchs.

Colossi of Memnon

Amenhotep III built the surviving Colossi of Memnon from quartzite. They stand $18\text{ m}$ ($60\text{ ft}$) high. They cracked in $27$ AD after an earthquake. Builders then restored them in $199$ AD.

Finally, you will have lunch at a restaurant with a Nile view. Then, we will drive you back to your Port Ghalib hotel. This concludes your two-day tour.
