After settling into your hotel, you’ll meet your private Egyptologist guide to begin your exploration of the East Bank. Your first stop is the magnificent Karnak Temple — the largest religious complex ever built in ancient Egypt. Known in ancient times as Ipet-Isut, meaning “the most sacred of places,” Karnak was constructed over more than two thousand years by numerous pharaohs. Inside, you’ll walk through the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall, home to an immense forest of towering columns.
After settling into your hotel, you’ll continue your exploration with a visit to the magnificent Luxor Temple. Originally built by Amenhotep III and later completed by Ramses II, this temple was dedicated to the god Amun and served as a center for important rituals and celebrations in ancient Thebes. After your visit, you’ll have some free time to stroll through the local markets and enjoy a bit of shopping before returning to your hotel for an overnight stay.
After enjoying breakfast, check out from your hotel and begin your West Bank tour. Your first stop is the legendary Valley of the Kings, where you'll explore the magnificent royal tombs carved deep into the Theban mountains. These tombs were beautifully decorated and filled with treasures to ensure the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife. During your visit, you’ll enter three of these remarkable tombs and uncover their timeless secrets.
Next, you'll visit the impressive Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. Dedicated to the only female pharaoh to rule Egypt, this extraordinary temple rises from the desert in elegant terraces and blends harmoniously with the surrounding limestone cliffs—making it one of the architectural masterpieces of ancient Egypt.
After completing your West Bank tour, you will begin your return journey to Marsa Alam, where you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
