We’ll pick you up from your hotel and drive to the legendary Valley of the Kings: burial site for 63 New Kingdom pharaohs, royal family members and nobility whose richly decorated chambers were furnished with every conceivable necessity for the after-life - from chariots, furniture and tools to food offerings, servants, statues and weapons.

Built in the mid-15th century BC, this rather modern looking temple blends harmoniously into the limestone cliffs from which it is partly hewn and had twin functions: the main east-west axis served as the sanctuary of Amun-Ra’s barque (a vessel used in the after-life) while the north-south axis represented the life cycle of the pharaoh from coronation to rebirth, during your tour you will have lunch in an Egyptian local restaurant, then you will visit the New Kingdom temple complex of Karnak - at its peak, the largest and most significant religious center in ancient Egypt. Drive to Luxor Temple for a private guided tour of this complex known as the Southern Sanctuary to ancient Egyptians and dedicated to the renewal of kingship, then you will be transferred back to your hotel.
