Exploring the timeless treasures of ancient Thebes

Uncover the mysteries of ancient Thebes on this unforgettable journey to Luxor, the glorious capital of the pharaohs. From richly decorated tombs to awe-inspiring temples, you’ll walk in the footsteps of kings in Egypt’s timeless heartland.

You’ll leave Safaga early to travel in convoy to Luxor, watching the landscape shift from barren mountains to desert plains and fertile fields along the Nile. Along the way, your guide will share stories of Upper Egypt, whetting your appetite for the wonders ahead.

Your first destination is Luxor’s West Bank, home to the legendary Valley of the Kings. Here you’ll enter three remarkable royal tombs, their walls still alive with vibrant hieroglyphs detailing
the pharaohs’ journey to the afterlife.

Before crossing to the East Bank, pause for photos at the colossal statues of Amenophis III, or Colossi of Memnon. These towering figures have stood since 1350 BC, once guarding the grand
Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, the largest in the Theban Necropolis.

After a sumptuous lunch in a deluxe hotel, continue to Karnak Temple, the world’s largest religious complex. Marvel at its vast Hypostyle Hall of 134 soaring columns, the sacred lake, and avenue of sphinxes. End with a photo stop at the elegant Luxor Temple before rejoining the convoy to Safaga – reflecting on a day steeped in the grandeur of ancient Thebes.
