Today will be another informative and essential day of tours in the ancient city of Luxor, previously known as the Capital City of Thebes during the Middle Kingdom.
Firstly, you will cross the Nile to the West Bank, known as the Valley of the Kings. A visit to the unusual Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the first known female Pharaoh. This Queen had a fascinating story of her reign, and exploring her Temple will give you an insight into her time as Pharaoh. The Valley holds many burial sites, and to date, 63 tombs were discovered, including the famous boy-king Tutankhamun by the Archaeologist Howard Carter. Take some memorable photos of the Valley and its high rock formations before moving on to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
After a relaxing lunch, you will visit the important Temple of Karnak on the East Bank in Luxor. This Temple was a strategic and vital Temple during its time as the Capital City during the middle kingdom. Home to the God Amun, the Temple was immense and hosted giant pylons through its entrance halls, a sacred lake, a place of worship, an ancient observatory, and home to the Pharaoh Ramesses III. The Temple is linked via an avenue of Sphinx to the Temple of Luxor.
Finally, you will head to the Airport in Luxor for your flight back to Sharm El Sheik and your hotel for a relaxing evening.
