30 minutesTemple of Karnak
The Karnak Temple Complex consists of a number of temples, chapels, and other buildings in the form of a village, and is for that reason that the name Karnak was given to this complex as in Arabic Karnak means ‘fortified village’. The Karnak temple is located in Karnak, in Luxor Governorate, in the south of Egypt on the east side of the Nile River bank. The Karnak Temple dates back from around 2055 BC to around 100 AD. It was built as a cult temple and was dedicated to the gods Amun, Mut, and khonsu. Being the largest building for religious purposes ever to be constructed, the Karnak Temple was known as “most select of places” by ancient Egyptians.
2 hoursLuxor Temple
Luxor Temple, Ipet‑resyt “Southern Sanctuary” to the ancient Egyptians, was so called because of its location within ancient Thebes (modern Luxor). It is located around three kilometers to the south of Karnak Temple, to which it was once linked with a processional way bordered with sphinxes. The oldest evidence for this temple dates to the Eighteenth Dynasty (c.1550–1295 BC). Ipet‑resyt, unlike most other ancient Egyptian temples, is not laid out on an east‑west axis, but is oriented towards Karnak. This is because Luxor Temple was the main venue for one the most important of ancient Egyptian religious celebrations, when the cult images of Amun, his wife Mut, and their son, the lunar god Khonsu, were taken from their temples in Karnak, and transported in a grand procession to Luxor Temple so they could visit the god that resides there, Amenemopet. This was the Opet Festival.
2 hoursLuxor Museum
The Luxor Museum is a place of major archaeological interest in Egypt, located in an area containing two-thirds of the country's antiquities.
1 hourMummification Museum
Day 2: The West bank of Luxor / Valley of The Kings and Hatshepsut Temple / Hot Air Balloon Optional
1 hourHot Air Balloons Luxor
Optional Hot Air Balloon tour to see sunrise over the west bank of luxor .
1 hourValley of the Kings
During the New Kingdom's period of ancient Egyptian (1539-1075 B.C.), the Valley of the Kings was the major burial ground for most of the royal pharaohs. The most famous pharaohs buried there were Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II.
2 hoursTemple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
The Temple was built to commemorate the achievements of the great Queen Hatshepsut (18th Dynasty), and as a funerary Temple for her, as well as a sanctuary of the god, Amon Ra. In the 7th century AD, it was named after a Coptic monastery in the area, known as the “Northern Monastery”.
2 hoursColossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon, the two largest ancient statues in Egypt, which date back to the era of King Amenhotep III .
20 minutesTemple of Medinat Habu
The Medinet Habu Temple is one of the ancient Egyptian temples in Luxor that was built by pharaoh Ramses III and dedicated to the god Amon. In my opinion, Madinat Habu is one of the best temples on the West Bank, and it's easy to combine with other nearby sites in Egypt like Valley of the Queens or Hatshepsut Temple.
2 hoursValley of the Queens
The Valley of the Queens (Arabic: Wādī al Malekāt) is a site in Egypt, where the wives of pharaohs were buried in ancient times. It was known then as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning "the place of beauty". It was most famous for being the burial site of many wives of Pharaohs.
1 hourTomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut)
Day 3: Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple
1 hourTemple of Horus
It is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt. The temple was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC. The inscriptions on its walls provide important information on language, myth and religion during the Hellenistic period in Egypt.
2 hoursTemple of Kom Ombo
Day 4: Aswan : visit the Temple of Philae, the Unfinished Obelisk and the High Dam
2 hoursTemple of Philae
The temple is very important since it is one of the last places where the ancient Egyptian religion survived after the arrival of Christianity until 550 A.D. The first Christians transformed the temple into a church where they disfigured many of the statues of the ancient gods and destroyed their images.
2 hoursUnfinished Obelisk
The unfinished obelisk is the largest known ancient obelisk and is located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan, Egypt. It was studied in detail by Reginald Engelbach in 1922.
2 hoursAswan High Dam
The dam was completed in 1971 and the huge reservoir behind it, named for President Nasser, finished filling in 1979.
