Today, we'll fly from Cairo to Luxor, the ancient city where King Tutankhamun was buried in his magnificent tomb. You'll embark on a historical tour of Luxor and Karnak temples on the West Bank of the Nile River, where you'll see your favorite sights in an entirely new light as you learn about the cultures that built them thousands of years ago.
The Egypt travel package will begin with a visit to Karnak Temple, which is one of the largest religious structures in Egypt. This temple was built by pharaohs to honor their gods and goddesses. It contains hundreds of rooms with intricate hieroglyphics depicting their lives. It's also home to some of the most stunning statues and sculptures in Egypt, for example, those of Ramses II.
Next, you'll head to Luxor Temple, which is located just upriver from Karnak. This site includes some of Egypt's most famous artifacts Amenhotep III's Colossi, which were part of his funerary temple. You will also see Ramses II's Great Hypostyle Hall, which has more than 1,000 columns; and King Tutankhamun's tomb.
Afterward, it's time to visit the West Bank of Luxor, where you'll find the Valley of the Kings, which is home to the tombs of Ancient Egypt's most famous kings, queens, and nobles. You'll also find the Temple of Hatshepsut, Deir el-Bahri (the Mortuary Temple of Mentuhotep II), and the Colossi of Memnon (two huge statues of King Amenhotep III).
