Valley of the Kings
After being picked up from your hotel, you will head to Luxor to explore the Valley of the Kings. This archaeological treasure trove is home to dozens of tombs adorned with intricate art and hieroglyphics. Visit the famous tomb of King Tutankhamun, then explore the temples built by the sons of Ramses II, Amenhotep III, and others, where you can admire centuries-old art and artifacts.

2
Temple of Karnak
This iconic landmark in Luxor showcases ancient architecture on a grand scale, featuring towering statues, massive columns, and the largest place of worship ever built—all just steps from the bustling city center. The Karnak Temple complex took over 1,000 years to complete, a timeline reflected in the rich variety of art and architectural styles found throughout the site.

3
Colossi of Memnon
Though little remains of the once-grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, the two towering statues of the pharaoh, originally placed to guard its entrance, still stand tall after 3,400 years. Located just across the Nile from Luxor, these colossal figures continue to awe visitors with their sheer scale. Alongside the main statues, travelers can also view smaller representations of the pharaoh’s wife, Tiy, and his mother, Mutemwia. Detailed sandstone panels carved with images of the Nile god Hapy can still be seen up close. Despite the wear of time and weather, the Colossi of Memnon still offer a powerful glimpse into the majesty of ancient Egypt.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari stands as one of the most impressive funerary monuments of the ancient world, rivaling even the Pyramids. Carved into the base of a towering cliff that faces the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises across three grand terraces linked by ramps, each lined with a colonnade of stark, mostly undecorated square pillars. Named after one of ancient Egypt’s few female pharaohs—who fittingly referred to it as the “Splendor of Splendors”—the site includes elements dating back to earlier rulers, beginning with Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC. Though many of the original sphinxes and statues have been lost over time, the temple’s massive, minimalist design remains striking. Inside, the cool stone halls provide relief from the desert heat and display remarkably preserved wall reliefs and hieroglyphics, some still vibrant with color.
