You will also pay your respects to the two tall stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, which stood on a quartzite sandstone platform and were brought from the north of Luxor.
There is the Mortuary Temple of Hatchepsut, which is considered one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt. It is built and features three terraces along with a landscaped garden. The construction period lasted for fifteen years. Lunch will be provided on the island, and the tour will also consist of boat excursions across the Nile.
The Temple of Carnac, the most hazardous glory of Pharaohs of history, is very similar, even in the collective labor instilled by different ancient builders and the scads of Pharaohs.
Upon visiting the Luxor Temple, you will retire for the day at an exquisite five-star hotel.
You will check out after you have taken a bite of a sumptuous breakfast and kill time for your flight to Cairo, the city where your tour guide shall be waiting to receive you.

After that, you will see one of the largest statues, the Great Sphinx, an impressive limestone structure with a lion's body and a human head representing power and wisdom. It is said the statue of khafra was built by Khafra, the 2nd pyramid owner, demonstrating great construction and ingenious engineering of the ancient civilization of Egyptian culture.
This structure also housed the granite coffin of King Chephren, the Ancient Egypt king, who was the second to the Cheops pyramid, and up to date amid the Famous Pyramids of Chephren stands a temple mummification.
If it is still early, perhaps lunch at the Pyramids is advisable, and take the view at a restaurant by the Nile side before further discovering the city.
The next city is the Egyptian Museum, where you will be able to find one of the richest collections of Egypt’s artistic works in the world. The museum contains a spacious section devoted to artifacts of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun and many other collections of ancient Egyptian art; thus, this place is a great asset for all who want to explore and understand this historical and amazing culture.
