Full Day Tour to Best Monuments of Luxor

Description
In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Luxor by an
air-conditioned vehicle for a full guided trip of about 8 hours. First
you visit the Valley of the Kings, which holds the most famous
attraction, the Tomb of Tutankhamun (which carries an extra charge).
Your Egyptologist will be on hand to recommend and advise you as to
which tombs to visit. This ancient necropolis is a must-see for Luxor
travelers. Later, you will visit the impressive mortuary Temple of Queen
Hatshepsut, the only woman ever to reign over Egypt as pharaoh. Then
you visit the Colossi of Memnon. With a height of nearly 18 meters,
these two statues originally stood in front of the mortuary Temple of
Amenophis III, of which only ruins remain. Then you will have lunch,
after which you visit what is considered to be one of the world's
greatest architectural masterpieces, namely the complex of Karnak
Temples on the East Bank of Luxor. Karnak is a complex of temples built
in different reigns, starting with the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle
Hall with its 134 gigantic columns, the Obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut
and Tutomosis I, the Temple of Amon adorned with lotus and papyrus
designs, the Granite Scarbeus of Amenophis III and the Sacred Lake.
Karnak beats every other pharaonic monument: it is simply one of the
most beautiful ancient monuments in Egypt. After Karnak you will be
taken to Luxor Temple, which is dedicated to the Theben Triad of
Amun-Ra, Mut and Khonsu.
After touring the sites you will be transferred to your hotel in Luxor by an air-conditioned vehicle.
