Itinerary
An authorized representative from Cairo Top Tours will meet you in Aswan and drive you to Luxor in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, where you will meet one of our company's top-rated, knowledgeable guides.
Your day of sightseeing begins with a visit to Luxor Temple, where you can explore Luxor Temple, a large, complex ancient Egyptian temple located on the east bank of the Nile River that was founded in 1400 BC.In order to honor the Trinity of Thebes—the gods Amun-Ra, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu—Luxor Temple was constructed. During the 18th and 19th Dynasties, the Luxor Temple was constructed. The most important structures in the temple are those built by Kings Amenhotep III and Ramses II.
The next step in your excursion will be the Temple of Karnak, which is a complex of temples, buildings, and columns whose expansion and construction continued from Pharaonic times, specifically the kings of the Middle Kingdom, to Roman times in Luxor, Egypt, on the eastern shore. The temple was built for the divine triad of Amun (Amun-Ra in modern times), his wife, the goddess Mot, and his son Khonsu; each had a temple belonging to the Karnak temple complex.
Then we will continue our journey to explore one of the most famous valleys in Egypt that was used for 500 years between the XVI and XI centuries BC to build tombs for the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom during the XVIII to XX dynasties of Ancient Egypt, located on the west bank of the Nile River opposite. There are two valleys in the Valley of the Kings: the eastern one, which contains the majority of the royal tombs, and the western one.
Once your Luxor trip is over, our representative will return you to your Aswan hotel.
