About this activity
Luxor is considered the world's greatest outdoor museum, containing nearly one third of the world’s antiquities from having remained the seat of power from 2100 to 750 B.C.You'll spend a fascinating day exploring the city of dead on the Nile river's west bank, where the sunset symbolizes the eclipse of life. Your Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor in a private air conditioned vehicle to the west bank where your first stop will be theValley of the Kings, the necropolis of the Pharaonic New Kingdom that includes colorful decorative tombs including that of King Tut Ankh Amun.Your next stop will be the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsutm which was constructed by the 18th dynasty Queen Hatshepsut (1473 – 1458 BC) as a unique structure rising from the desert in the shape of a series of imposing terraces. Used as a monastery in the Christian era, the temple is also known as El Deir Al Bahry, or the Western Monastery.
Your last stop will be at the gigantic Colossi of Memnon, two 60-feet (18-meters) high statues that are the only remains from Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. During the Roman era, music could be heard coming out of one of the statues.
After the visit, you’ll enjoy a typical Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before being driven back to your hotel. .
