It is a rare temple in ancient Egypt with a double design, as if there is a mirror reflecting it, dedicated to Sobek (crocodile god of fertility/Nile floods) and Horus the Elder (falcon-headed sky god of kingship). Inside, you can also see a pharaonic hospital!

The great kings of the New Kingdom are buried here. It includes around 60 of the royal tombs; you can visit up to 3 of the best-ever tombs included in the main entrance fees, like KV9 (Ramses VI), KV11 (Ramses III), and KV2 (Ramses IV).

There are premium tombs with extra costs not included in the tour package, but we can help in booking their tickets, like KV62 (Tutankhamun), KV62 (Tutankhamun), and KV14 (Twosret/Sethnakht).

We proceed to the Hatshepsut Temple in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Hatshepsut Temple Visit—Lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

It was built for Hatshepsut, this woman pharaoh’s legacy, who ruled ancient Egypt for the first time as king, not queen, and built this temple to proclaim her divine right. The design features three terraced colonnades that seamlessly blend into the cliffs, creating a strikingly unique facade, narrating the successful holy trade expeditions that Hatshepsut did to Punt land.

We go ahead to the Colossi of Memnon in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Colossi of Memnon Visit—Lasts around 30 minutes. 

You arrive at the giant sentinels of history made of quartzite with 18m (59 ft), representing Amenhotep III (1390–1352 BC), once guarding his largest mortuary temple in Thebes Necropolis. The Romans believed that the northern colossus famously "sang" at dawn; uncover that!

We transfer to a local restaurant.

Lunchtime:

Savor a local Egyptian cuisine with multiple amazing flavors.

Karnak Temple Visit—Lasts around 2 hours. 

The largest religious complex ever built—covering 200+ acres and considered the main worship center for the ancient Egyptians—is located in the heart of the east side of Luxor, where the daily life of the ancient Egyptians was running.
