Monuments on the eastern bank of the River Nile
Karnak Temple
- Karnak is the largest temple complex in the ancient world. Amazingly, it represents the achievement of many generations of ancient builders and pharaohs. Its old name, Ipet-isut, means “the most sacred of places.” The building of this complex temple has lasted more than two thousand years. It comprises three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples on 247 acres. The remarkable Hypostyle Hall is an incredible forest of giant pillars.
Luxor Temple
- The Temple of Luxor was the centre of the most important festival – the festival of Opet. Amenhotep III and Ramses II built this majestic Luxor temple dedicated to the god Amun. This festival was to reconcile the human aspect of the ruler with the divine office.
Monuments on the western bank of the River Nile
Valley of the Kings
- The Valley of the Kings is where magnificent tombs exist. Professionally, the Ancient Egyptians carved those tombs deeply into the mountain rock. They decorated them richly and filled them with treasures for the afterlife. The Valley of the Kings houses tombs of ancient Egyptian kings, e.g., the great pharaohs Ramses II and Tutankhamun.

We came to know from our guide that it has taken more than two thousand years to get completed. The great Hypostyle Hall is an amazing hall of huge pillars. Next, we visit the Temple of Luxor. It was the center of the festival of Opet. This is a majestic temple built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II dedicating it to God Amun. Everywhere your guide will be your photographer and you will get ample time to take pictures.

Finally, before the end of the trip, we got to visit The Valley of the Kings! Were we getting to see three tombs of the three Pharaohs which makes this place so unique? On this trip, a break comes in the form of lunch which is served at a restaurant beside the Nile. The arrangement was an open buffet menu which was served. We also get to see the Colossi of Memnon which are two huge stone statues of King Amenhotep. For all of these visits, the guide will take care and hand over to you Entrance Tickets which was very much hassle-free. Very small points, but makes your visit much more pleasurable. Do visit and put this trip on your itinerary list.

Найбільше у всій денний екскурсії по Люксор мені сподобалося добиратися в місто Мертвих з міста Живих, адже вони знаходяться на різних берегах легендарного Нілу. Тут є на що подивитися і екскурсія дуже захоплююча. Єдиний мінус – нестерпна спека, так що варто запастися водою, а також обов’язково накрити голову панамкою. Всім бажаю побачити ці стародавні реліквії на власні очі!

Заказали эту экскурсию и не пожалели ни на минуту. Очень интересно, трансфер очень комфортный, доехали без проблем. Посетили много старинных храмов, гробницы. Моф-отличный гид, рассказал очень много нового из истории этой удивительной страны, эти красивейшие старинные постройки, завораживающие гробницы, потом мы совершили поездку по реке Нил на банановый остров. Экскурсия очень интересная, завораживающая, очень увлекательная. Огромное спасибо организаторам и конечно же нашему гиду Мофу, с удовольствием съездили, замечательно провели время, все понравилось, она стоит потраченных нами денег.
