After breakfast at the hotel, our representative will accompany you to Cairo Airport for your... see+ flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, our representative will welcome you. Then, your English-speaking guide will accompany you in an air-conditioned vehicle. You will visit the east bank of Luxor, home to the fabulous Karnak temple complex, the largest religious complex ever built, dedicated to the Theban triad with the god Amun-Ra at its mast top. Its ancient name "Ipet-isut" means "the most sacred place". Inside the complex, the impressive "hypostyle hall" is a majestic and mysterious forest of 137 giant columns. Next, you will visit the necropolis of Thebes on the west bank of the Nile, followed by the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of many pharaohs of the New Kingdom are located, along with their families and favored nobles. The tours will continue with the Colossi of Memnon, the last remains of the temple of Amenhotep III, and Deir el-Bahari, the funerary temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Carved out of the rock in the mountain of Thebes, this three-terraced temple is both harmonious and modern. Although dedicated to the god Amun, there are also chapels dedicated to Anubis and Hathor, the goddess protector of women. This is not surprising, since the temple of Hatshepsut at El-Deir El-Bahary—one of the four female pharaohs to have ruled Egypt—is considered "the first great woman whose name has been preserved in history."
