About this activity
Day 1:
On your first day you will be picked up from Luxor Airport, your Luxor hotel or port for a 6-hour guided tour. You will begin at the Valley of the Kings, the ancient Necropolis of Thebes, which is a must-see for Luxor travelers. There you visit three tombs: the Tomb of Ramses, the Tomb of Horemheb and the Tomb of Merenptah. Your Egyptologist tour guide will be with you to answer any questions you may have.
You will also see the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Temple of Ramses III.
Afterwards, you will be taken to see the Colossi of Memnon, the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, which date back to the era of King Amenhotep III. After touring the sites, you will be transferred back to your hotel by an air-conditioned vehicle.
Day 2:
Today's tour will be about 5-hours long. Your first stop will be Karnak Temples in the East Bank of Luxor. There you can admire the Hypostyle Hall, Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon, the Granite Scarbeus of Amenophis III and the Sacred Lake.
After Karnak, you will be brought to the Luxor Museum, which houses items found in Tutankhamun's tomb.

Day 3:
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel for a full guided trip of about 9 hours.
