Luxor, the world’s largest open-air museum, begins your tour with a visit to the grand Karnak complex.

Every pharaoh added and amended the buildings here during their reign, leaving their mark on the kingdom’s most revered religious sanctuary.
- Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Explore the Valley of the Kings & Queen Hatshepsut. After breakfast, start your tour on the west bank of Luxor with the Valley of the Kings (KV).

The vividly painted tombs of Thebes’ pharaohs offer a glimpse into the burial rites and death rituals of Ancient Egypt, remaining Luxor’s West Bank’s most popular attraction.

Situated on a hill overlooking the Nile, the Temple of Edfu is the best-preserved of the Ancient Egyptian shrines. As the largest temple dedicated to Horus, statues of the falcon-headed god are found throughout the complex, and its extensive wall carvings provide valuable insights into the Hellenistic period of Egyptian history. The exquisite reliefs offer a glimpse into the religion, mythology, and lifestyle of the era. Continue to Kom Ombo city to visit another impressive temple, the Temple of Kom Ombo, one of Egypt’s more unusual temples.

At one time, these temples were threatened by submersion in Lake Nasser due to the construction of the High Dam. The Egyptian government, with UNESCO’s support, launched a worldwide appeal to save these colossal landmarks. They were successfully dismantled and relocated 60 meters above the cliff where they were originally built. The more famous of the two temples is dedicated to Ramses II, and the smaller one to his favorite wife, Queen Nefertari.
