Itinerary
Our company provides you with a private air-conditioned car to transport you to and from your hotel.
You will begin your tour with the most prominent and rare pieces from throughout Egyptian history, from the Pharaonic, Islamic, and Coptic eras, gathered inside the halls of the Luxor museum located in the city center on the Nile Corniche. The Museum was inaugurated on December 12, 1975, during the reign of former President Mohamed Anwar Sadat, with his guest, the then President of the French Republic, Valéry Jasiccard de Staën, to become a distinguished tourist attraction for Egyptians and foreigners from around the world.
Then you will be taken to the Ramesseum Temple. Known in ancient Egyptian as "Khenmet-West," meaning "united with Wast," the Greeks called it "Memneonium," perhaps because the colossal statue of Ramesses II erected inside resembled the legendary hero Memnon, son of Tithonus.
Ramesses II modified, appropriated, or constructed many buildings from the ground up, the most magnificent of which, in accordance with royal burial practices of the New Kingdom, was his memorial temple: a place dedicated to the worship of the pharaoh, the god of the earth, where his memory would live on after his death. Surviving records indicate that work on the project began shortly after the beginning of his reign and continued for 20 years.
After visiting the two statues of Memnon and having your delicious meal, you will be transferred to your hotel by our representatives.
