East Bank Wonders: Karnak & Luxor Temples
Your journey begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Cairo by a Journey To Egypt representative, who will escort you to the airport in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Following your short domestic flight, your highly qualified, private English-speaking Egyptologist guide will greet you right outside the arrival exit door of the Luxor International Airport. Your very first excursion takes you to Karnak Temple, an unbelievable open-air museum complex featuring the breathtaking Great Hypostyle Hall, flanked by 134 giant stone columns. After marveling at this monumental feat of engineering, you will be served a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Afterward, you will move on to the iconic Luxor Temple. This ancient architectural treasure was constructed by Amenhotep III and Ramses II and dedicated to the sun god Amun-Ra. Today, it stands as an absolute must-visit for everyone traveling to Egypt.

Day 2
West Bank Treasures: Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Felucca Ride
Following breakfast at your hotel, you will head out with your private guide to explore the legendary West Bank of Luxor. Your first stop is the magnificent Valley of the Kings, the historic burial ground featuring tombs deeply carved into the desert mountainsides. These resting places were intricately decorated with vivid hieroglyphs and filled with immense treasures to ensure a wealthy, peaceful afterlife for the pharaohs; your entry ticket allows you to step inside three of these incredible tombs. Next, you will discover the famous Colossi of Memnon before moving on to the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. As one of the most powerful and unique female rulers in ancient history, Hatshepsut left behind an architectural masterpiece framed perfectly by towering limestone cliffs. After your West Bank excursion, you will enjoy a tasty lunch at a local restaurant, followed by a relaxing, traditional Nile felucca sailboat ride to Banana Island, where you can soak in the peaceful river views. At the end of an extraordinary two days, your private driver will transfer you back to Luxor International Airport for your evening flight to Cairo, followed by a smooth transfer back to your Cairo hotel.
