Fly from Sharm El Sheikh to Luxor for Day Tour
The iconic Karnak Temple in Luxor displays monumental ancient architecture with impressive statues and columns. Known as the largest temple ever built, it lies just minutes from downtown. Constructed over more than 1,000 years, its diverse art and design reflect the long history of this remarkable Egyptian site.
The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari is one of the ancient world’s grandest funerary monuments, rivaling even the Pyramids. Carved into the towering cliff opposite the Valley of the Kings, the temple rises on three massive terraces connected by ramps, each lined with simple square pillars. Named after one of Egypt’s rare female pharaohs, Hatshepsut called it the "Splendor of Splendors." Though construction began with earlier rulers like Mentuhotep II around 2050 BC, many sphinxes and statues have disappeared, giving the temple a striking, monolithic look. Inside, the cool stone halls offer relief from the heat and showcase well-preserved wall reliefs and vibrant hieroglyphics.
The Valley of the Kings is a treasure trove of ancient archaeology, housing many tombs decorated with intricate art and hieroglyphics. Visit the famous tomb of King Tutankhamun, then explore temples built by Ramses II’s sons, Amenhotep III, and others, to admire centuries-old masterpieces and artifacts.
Though little remains of Amenhotep III’s grand memorial temple, its two towering statues still stand after 3,400 years. Located on the Nile’s banks across from Luxor, these colossal sculptures of the pharaoh are a breathtaking sight. Nearby, smaller statues of his wife Tiy and mother Mutemwia can be seen, along with sandstone carvings of the Nile god Hapy. Despite weathering over millennia, the Colossi still evoke the awe of their original grandeur.
