Our day tour from Sahl Hasheesh by car comes with your guide, allowing you to discover the real Luxor. You'll visit the burial places of Egypt's most powerful kings, the Queen Hatshepsut temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and the impressive Karnak temple. Your day will start early as we pick you up at 5:00 a.m. from your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh. You'll travel by air-conditioned coach to Luxor, about 280 km away. On the way, you'll have a break in K.m 85 to relax and prepare for the rest of the tour. Your first stop will be Karnak temple, the largest ancient religious site known anywhere in the world. It's a remarkable achievement for many generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. The temple complex comprises three main temples situated on 247 acres of land. After you visit Karnak temple, you'll cross the Nile by motorboat to enjoy an authentic Egyptian lunch in a local restaurant on the west side. Next, you'll visit the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of King Amenhotep III, the only remains of a complete mortuary temple. You'll then see the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt's rulers from the 18th to the 20th dynasty. You'll explore three tombs, including those of great Pharaoh Ramses II and Boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which were well stocked with all the material goods a ruler might need in the afterlife. You'll also visit the Queen Hatshepsut temple, which rises out of the desert plain in terraces. The temple merges with the sheer limestone cliffs of the eastern face of Theban Mountain, making it an extraordinary monument. Finally, you'll stop by the alabaster factory, one of the unique Egyptian crafts developed and sustained through the sequential generations since ancient Egyptians. There, you'll see artisans working mainly in the west of Luxor using materials such as yellow limestone, black granite, basalt, marble, and the national Marmar to produce Pharaonic antiques. An air-conditioned vehicle will transfer you back to your hotel in Sahl Hasheesh. Our tour includes pick-up services, travel permits, mineral water, lunch, entrance fees, all service charges, and taxes. We also offer vegetarian lunch options.
