Excursion Itinerary

Begin your Luxor City Tour by traveling to the west bank, where you will visit the Valley of the Kings. This valley is home to several kings' tombs and is known for its magnificent architecture. King Ramses VI, King Mrenptah, King Thutmose I, King Thutmose III, Tut-Ankh-Amon, and Amenhotep II are the most well-known tombs. Proceed to see the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which was constructed by the only female pharaoh to rule ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut, daughter of Thutmose I, who ruled roughly 20 years, from 1490 to 1469 B.C., in the 18th Dynasty. You will go by the colossi of Memnon, which are the remnants of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. Proceed to drive to the east bank of Luxor and stop at a neighborhood restaurant for lunch before visiting the Karnak Temples, which are devoted to the god Amon, his wife Mut, and their son Khonsu and are considered the greatest example of worship in history. Visit the Temple of Luxor to cap off your journey. Amenhotep III began construction in the New Kingdom during the 18th Dynasty, and Ramesses II finished it during the 19th Dynasty. You will subsequently be taken back to your Luxor hotel.
