Luxor Esna
Departure for the Valley of the Kings, tombs of the pharaohs. Just across from Luxor in Egypt,... see+ welcome to the west bank of the Nile and the Theban necropolis, where sacred desert mountains overlook lush green countryside. This is where the pharaohs of the New Kingdom chose to make their final resting place. The Valley of the Kings is the centrepiece of the sites on the left bank. It now boasts 63 tombs. You will only be able to visit 13 of them. Continue along the left bank of the river towards the sacred mountains, home to the imposing temple of Hatshepsut, the Queen Pharaoh and magnificently restored. Located on the west bank of the Nile, near the city of Luxor, the funerary temple of Hatshepsut continues to attract attention. Attributed to the pharaoh of the same name, this heritage of the Egyptian people is a must-see for anyone travelling to Egypt. Divided into three main levels, each level of this monument tells a story and offers a magnificent view of the mythical Theban necropolis. In the afternoon, visit the Temple of Karnak. Then, in the evening, visit the illuminated temple of Luxor. This is the most imposing religious complex in ancient Egypt! On the right bank of the Nile, Karnak Temple stretches over 2.5 km2 in Upper Egypt, near Luxor, the ancient Thebes of ancient Egypt. Built over thousands of years, the mythical temple of Karnak is dedicated to the god Amon. At the entrance, 40 ram-headed sphynxes lead to the great hypostyle hall with its spectacular forest of columns, the largest of all the Egyptian temples. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, Karnak Temple is a must-see on any trip to Egypt, along with Abu Simbel, the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza. Luxor Temple was built between 1400 and 1000 BC, under the orders of the pharaohs Amenhotep III and Ramses II. The former built the inner part and the latter the outer enclosure, adding the façade, colossi and obelisks. The temple is 260 metres long and dedicated to Amun (the god of the wind). The Temple of Luxor and the Temple of Karnak, less than three kilometres apart, were linked by the Avenue of the Sphinxes, once lined with more than 600 sphinxes. Today, you can only see the beginning of this avenue, at the gates of each of the two temples. Sailing to Esna.

Its construction began under Ptolemy VI and was completed in the Roman period, in the 3rd century AD; only the Hypostyle Hall is currently visible. Sail to Edfu, where you will visit the temple by horse-drawn carriage. The temple at Edfu is made up of traditional elements from New Kingdom Egyptian temples, as well as a few Greek elements, such as the mamisi (divine birth house), which is located to the west of the temple's main entrance. It consists of an entrance, a courtyard and a chapel. The walls of the mamisi are decorated with scenes depicting the story of the divine birth of Horus the child, in the presence of the goddess Hathor, the god Khenum and other deities concerned with pregnancy and birth.
