Bed & Breakfast
After an early breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel in Soma Bay and driven through the desert to Luxor aiming to arrive around the middle. Transfer time is around 3.5 hours. You will have this afternoon at leisure to explore Luxor town, and the Nile.
Valley of the King tour - Today you will be accompanied by an Egyptologist and guided through the fantastic Valley of the Kings. The valley is to the north of Hatshepsut's Deir El-Bahari temple. Here, kings from 18th to 20th dynasties cut their tombs in the limestone cliffs. That was a long time after their ancestors abandoned the pyramid-shaped tomb. The newly shaped tombs were more secure and deceived the tomb robbers although sadly, almost all tombs were robbed and stripped of their treasures.
Karnak and Luxor Temples tour - After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel and accompanied again by our Egyptologist. Today, you will visit Karnak & the Luxor temples called Ipet-resit, or ‘Private Chambers to the South (of Amun)’. The temple of Luxor, some 260m (850 ft) long, was built by Amenophis III on the foundations of a previous religious structure, dating from the time of Queen Hatshepsut.
