Guided tour to the magnificent Karnak Temple, which is perhaps the most impressive of all the ancient Pharaohs' monumental works. One of the world’s most celebrated temple complexes, Karnak is a house of the Gods built over a period of some 200 years.

Guided tour to the West bank of the Nile (Valley of the Kings + Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut + Colossi of Memnon).

One of the sites we will visit is the Valley of the Kings. After pyramid building began to wane, the Kings still needed a final resting place to preserve themselves and store all their treasures.

Housing nearly all the tombs for the Kings of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties, the Valley of the Kings was designed to help hide the burial places of the Kings to prevent looting.

One of the most famous tombs here is the tomb of Tutankhamen. We will have the opportunity to explore some of the tombs.

Next, we move to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Hatshepsut was the wife to Thutmose II but became pharaoh after he died.

This mortuary temple was modeled after Mentuhotep’s but at a much larger scale. We will explore this beautiful temple which is set into the cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. As we continue our sightseeing, we will move to Deir el-Medina, which is the ancient village of the craftsmen of the Valley of the Kings.

Our last site to visit will be the Colossi of Memnon where you will see two (nearly 60 feet tall) seated statues of Amenhotep III. These statues were once the entrance to Amenhotep’s mortuary temple.
